Canada Post is moving to a Rotating Strike. Starting Saturday, October 11, they will resume service operations at select locations, while others will remain closed. At this time, we do not know which locations will reopen when the rotating strike activity begins. However, they say service will start with processing the mail and parcels already trapped in their network.

It will take time for them to clear the backlog of packages, so customers should still expect further delays as they slowly move the packages through. However, it's better than no progress at all.

We are committed to keeping you informed and providing more details on what to expect over the next few days.

Canada Post Strike Continues. Any orders currently in their system are secure and will be delivered once the strike ends. Given the rates we're seeing from UPS, we haven't ruled out returning to this provider after the strike ends.

Even if they raise their rates, there’s a good chance they’ll still be cheaper. However, some of the extra delivery protections UPS provides might make those additional costs worth it. We’ll find out over time.

I know I keep repeating this, but thank you for your ongoing patience and cooperation. The many emails and messages I've received have been overwhelmingly positive and supportive. However, I understand your frustration and patience are wearing thin; as are mine.

This morning the  Canada Post workers went on a nationwide strike. For orders currently in transit, service guarantees are suspended if they have yet to be handed off to other national postal networks.All packages in their postal network will be secured and delivered as quickly as possible once operations resume. However, processing and delivery may take some time to fully return to normal.

We had planned to switch to UPS within the next few weeks. Our final prices are arriving on Monday (9/29), and we intended to run some controlled tests with a few orders to verify their promises and ensure our procedures are properly set up. However, with the latest Canada Post Strike, we now have no choice but to accelerate this switch much earlier than expected. This could lead to some unexpected surprises, which is why we will likely only send out a portion of our orders in the initial batch at first. This way, if their promised duty-free status proves to be inaccurate, the impact won't be catastrophic. 

If that initial batch is successful we can open thing up and get back to normal. For those who have order already in progress, we hope to minimize your wait, but unfortunately, the shipping part of your order may take longer than anticipated. 

Until we have UPS fully implemented into our system the added expense of the shipping will be covered by myself and my production partner. This investment is not a small one so I would greatly appreciate your patience and cooperation as we navigate this latest setback.
