Just a head's up...

Canada Post and the Canadian Union of Postal Workers are currently involved in a labor dispute. As a result there may be a disruption in Canada Post service. If the dispute isn’t resolved, Canada Post will likely stop accepting new shipments and delivering mail and parcels already in the mailstream as early as September 25.

No word from eBay about this, but other e-commerce sites are cautioning their sellers that if a settlement isn't arrived at quickly, it could cause delays in delivery to Canadian addresses and/or Canadian sellers won't be able to purchase labels/postage from Canada Post.

I just got that message in my inbox from another online selling venue. I just sold something to Canada, too.

Nice of Ebay to notify us, wasn't it?

The easier you are to offend the easier you are to control.

We seem to be getting closer and closer to a situation where nobody is responsible for what they did but we are all responsible for what somebody else did. - Thomas Sowell

Yeah, I know @southern*sweet*tea. Always a day late and a dollar short, it seems... 😞

eBay's history dictates they won't make an announcement until/unless the strike becomes official. Right now it's just looming over us, but sellers should still make any advance preparations necessary. Didn't the last CP strike last for quite a while?

I don't remember how long it lasted. I do know I had removed Canada for quite some time, a few months, maybe? I don't really remember
