Canada Post Strike: October 2025

Unfortunately, negotiations between Canada Post and the Canadian Union of Postal Workers have broken down, with staff walking off the job.

While we hope that the Postal Service and the Union reach an agreement quickly, we currently have no alternative but to increase shipping costs. Here is the current state of affairs, broken down by shipping destination:

Canada: Canadian customers can still choose Purolator at the checkout for domestic shipping. Sadly this is about $10 more expensive than Canada Post was, but you will at least get your package with minimal delay.

United States: The only shipper we can use with our system for you right now is DHL. Shipping typically comes to $35 plus calculated pre-ship duties, as is now required. For now, this is a fixed price. Should our cost to ship to you be more than $10 higher, we will contact you to pay the remaining amount before shipping your order.

Everyone else: We also can only use DHL to ship to you right now. Shipping costs are fixed at $50, and may or may not offer the chance to pre-pay duties, depending on destination. Should our cost to ship to you be more than $10 higher, we will contact you to pay the remaining amount before shipping your order.

Just like last time, all our 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.
