Canada Post Strike: 2025

Unfortunately, the Canadian Union of Postal Workers has announced it intends to begin strike activity on Friday, May 23rd at 12:00 AM local time.

While we hope that the Postal Service and the Union reach an agreement quickly, we currently have no alternative but to suspend shipments outside of Canada immediately. This means there are no US or International shipping options at checkout right now. Canadian customers can still choose Purolator at the checkout for domestic shipping.

We are doing this today (Wednesday, May 21st, 2025) because any packages that don't leave Canada by Thursday night would get stuck in the system until the strike ends. If that happened to your order, there would be nothing we could do about it, and everyone would be unhappy.

For US and International orders, if you are placing an order greater than C$200 (such as for MFM emulators and QBones, or bulk SCSI product orders), please email us and we can quote you alternative shipping options (such as FedEx). This will be more expensive than usual, and will take an extra 1-2 business days for turnaround.

All carriers will experience major delays while Canada Post is on strike. Even express shipments will be delayed in transit. Carriers will likely remove their on-time guarantees and offer minimal support for shipping delays. We have no control over the transit time once a shipment leaves our warehouse. There is no solution we can offer for time-sensitive orders.

We apologise for the interruption, and hope to return to normal as soon as possible.
