So I didn't ship Friday because of freezing rain (only 14 customers were affected by this), and today I did all my shipping, 47 USA & International and 13 for Canada & UK. I even risked getting a ticket to ship the Canadian ones because there's some event downtown and the parking lot was full (there's places for permit holders and they're almost always empty, but you can get a ticket if you park there).
With the long weekend, people were waiting a few days for me to ship. Well it's a good thing I was able to get out and do that today because we're getting freezing rain right now and it's forecasted to go on tomorrow morning. That means once again I will be staying home and not shipping. However today there were only 3 packages to go out when I checked after work (if you buy from me after I finish work you usually have to wait a day, I print my packing slips at 5pm for the next day's shipping). I have had more sales since 5pm, but they weren't going out until Thursday.
In this case I'm not notifying anyone, it's only one day delay in shipping and I haven't packed them, so everyone knows it hasn't even shipped yet.
I get that it's winter right now, but freezing rain is not seasonal in Canada in February. Right now we should be 10 below freezing and getting snow every few days to the point it's 3 feet high beside your driveway. There is no snow on my front lawn.
