Canada Post Strike - Round 2!

Round 2. Fight!

Welp, we’ve got another Canada Post strike incoming. It’s almost like we should’ve let them settle negotiations back in December instead of having the government force them back to work. Huh, who would’ve thought?

Let’s get into it.

I’ll be completely direct here, the whole “will they, won’t they” back-and-forth is getting exhausting. We spoke with our Canada Post rep, and we’re not even remotely confident they’ll avoid a strike. So, we’re making changes now to minimize disruption to your packages. Also, I’d love to avoid the level of hate mail I got during the last strike - because wow.

The Important Part:

Starting Tuesday, May 20, 2025 at 3:00 PM, we will no longer be shipping with Canada Post. This is to help ensure most, if not all, of our packages can clear their network before a potential shutdown.

Also starting at that time, flat rate shipping is back. Rates will vary depending on your location. We’re integrating a network of independent carriers who will continue to verify age at delivery. If you’re in a rural area and none of these carriers are available, we’ll contact you directly to discuss alternatives - including a full refund.

We can’t guarantee which carrier will deliver your package. The system will automatically choose the fastest option based on estimated delivery time. You’ll still receive tracking info, no matter the carrier. And we’ll cover the difference between the flat rate and actual carrier cost.

Some important information to keep in mind:

• 🛻 Smaller carriers and brokers: Many carriers have already told us they can’t manage our volume or are quoting extremely high prices. We’ll go with whichever option gets your order to you fastest. Carrier selection is not guaranteed.
  
  
• 🚫 Coverage limitations: Unlike Canada Post, some carriers don’t cover the entire country. If you're in a rural area they can’t reach, we’ll contact you directly with options - including a full refund.
  
  
• 📅 Estimated delivery dates: With Canada’s largest carrier going offline, the rest will be overwhelmed with an influx of packages. We can't offer exact delivery times - tracking numbers will be your best source of updates.
  
  
• 📦 Flat fee structure: Shipping rates are based on your province. No matter how big your order is, you’ll only pay the flat rate. You’ll see this option at checkout. It will not be added later. It works the same as before.
  
  
• 👀 Hate mail: Look, we get it - this sucks. We’re frustrated too. But if you send aggressive or threatening messages, your order will be canceled. We don’t control Canada Post (or any carrier). Please don’t take it out on us.

We’ll keep this page updated as the situation with Canada Post evolves. We really appreciate your patience and support and we’ll be working overtime to get your packages out as quickly as possible.

Thanks again for riding this out with us.
