Just a quick heads-up about the recent Canada Post labour disruption that started in late September 2025. If you’ve got an order on the way or are thinking of placing one, here’s the breakdown on what’s happening and how we’re making sure your experience stays smooth.

We know that waiting for a package can be frustrating, especially when delays are out of your control. To ensure your orders arrive without interruption, we have proactively switched our primary shipping carrier from Canada Post to Purolator, effective immediately.

Here’s the Fix: We’re Switching to Purolator

Look, we all know how frustrating it is when a delivery shows up late… or worse, doesn’t show up at all. So to avoid any issues caused by the Canada Post strike, we’re moving all shipments to Purolator starting now.

That means:

  • No disruption from the strike

  • Quicker delivery times in most areas

  • Real-time tracking and solid customer support

Bottom line? We’re keeping your orders moving without skipping a beat.

What This Means for You

We’ve already flipped the switch on our end, so you don’t have to do anything differently.

  • All orders are now shipping with Purolator

  • You’ll still get tracking emails just like always

  • Recent orders? Already rerouted, no delays expected

Everything works the same. It’s just a different courier, one that isn’t tied up in the Canada Post strike mess.

Real Talk: Why We’re Acting Early

We’ve been doing this long enough to know that waiting too long during a disruption leads to angry emails, lost packages, and bad vibes all around. So we’re staying ahead of the curve.

And while Purolator is solid, we’ll admit… there might be some hiccups if volume spikes. If your tracking looks like it’s slowing down, hang tight. Your order’s still coming. No one’s getting left behind.

Why is Canada Post on Strike Again?

Canadians got a big surprise late Thursday afternoon, when the union representing Canada’s postal workers suddenly called for a nationwide strike. 

The move came hours after the federal government announced major reforms to Canada Post, instructing the Crown corporation to end home delivery and close some rural mail outlets. 

Canada Post lost $448 million before tax in the first half of 2025, following a loss before tax of $30 million in the first half of 2024.

And Public Works and Procurement Minister Joël Lightbound said the corporation is losing approximately $10 million per day… despite the federal government providing a $1-billion injection earlier this year to keep it operational.

“In response to the Government’s attack on our postal service and workers, effective immediately, all CUPW members at Canada Post are on a nation-wide strike,” the statement reads.

Keeping It Rolling While Canada Post Sorts It Out

We’ll keep an eye on the Canada Post strike situation as it develops. As soon as things settle and we’re confident it won’t mess with delivery times, we’ll look at switching back.

Until then, it’s business as usual! Just with Purolator behind the wheel.

If you’re ever unsure about your order or need help, our support crew is here and ready to jump in. No robots. No runaround. Just real help when you need it.

Thanks for Sticking With Us Through the Canada Post Strike

We get it. Courier switches aren’t ideal. But your experience matters more than sticking to routine. That’s why we’re doing this… because reliable delivery matters, and we’re not leaving that up to chance.

Thanks for rolling with us. We’ll keep you posted as this Canada Post strike unfolds.

Stay lifted,
