Update: May 23, 2025

Hey everyone — quick update on the current Canada Post situation.

As of today, Canada Post workers represented by CUPW are not on a traditional strike, but have begun refusing all overtime hours. This means they’re still operational, but employees will no longer work beyond 40 hours per week. Since much of Canada Post’s delivery speed relies heavily on overtime, this action may cause delays in some regions.

We’re keeping a close eye on how this unfolds and will continue using alternative couriers for the time being. That said, we know Canada Post is often the fastest and most reliable—especially for PO boxes and remote/dry zones—so we’re actively monitoring things to decide if and when it’s safe to resume shipping with them.

We’ll keep you posted as things evolve. In the meantime, you can read more about the situation here:

Thanks for your patience and continued support!

Update: May 22, 2025

With the upcoming Canada Post walk-out, we wanted to give you all a quick heads-up about how we’re handling orders during this time: yesterday was our final round of Canada Post shipments for regional orders – these should still arrive before the strike officially begins (if not, please feel free to reach out to us).

We’ve already arranged alternative couriers for all other shipments, which we’ve been successfully using this week. As of now, we’ll be working with a few different couriers to make sure deliveries continue as smoothly as possible.

We’re keeping a close eye on how things develop. If courier capacity becomes strained, we may need to limit daily order volumes to avoid major delays — we’d rather that than leave anyone in limbo like last year.

Additionally, we may need to pause service to certain “Dry Zones” or PO Box addresses if alternative couriers can’t reach those areas (many still rely on Canada Post for final delivery).

We’ll keep you all posted on any changes as they come. Thanks so much for your patience and understanding — we’re doing everything we can to keep things moving.

TLDR (Too Long Didn’t Read)

Canada Post is going on strike, so we’ve switched to alternative couriers. Regional Canada Post orders shipped yesterday and should arrive before the strike. We’re monitoring the situation closely—some delays may occur, and we might limit daily orders or pause service to certain areas if needed. Thanks for your patience!

We totally understand this might be a bit frustrating, and we truly appreciate your understanding while we work through this. If you have any questions or just want to chat, feel free to reach out to us via email at [email protected] or use our live chat.

Thanks so much for your continued support!

Cheers,
