Thelonious Sphere Monk Posted May 19, 2011 Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 Looks like Canada post will strike on the 25th of this month. Hopefully eveything you have in transist will land before then and eveything else after should be sent out UPS/FEDEX/Purolator/DHL or any other 3rd party courior. HAPPY TIMES!! (oh god my poor jerseys) Brilliant edit: Strike over! YAY! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYIJM29 Posted May 19, 2011 Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 Geez. I sent out a jersey USPS to Canada last week. Will that be affected? (It is supposed to arrive between May 24 and May 30) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowboys Posted May 19, 2011 Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 I have not heard about this will have to look into it as I would be lost with the PONY EXPRESS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brilliant! Posted May 19, 2011 Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 Oh great; thanks for the heads up on this. I might have to hold off on a few things if this goes through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thelonious Sphere Monk Posted May 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 Ya I got a Lemieux jersey in transit right now also. I don't think it will make the boarder by the strike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sluggermatt15 Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 Well for you Canadians I hope this issue is resolved. It's never good to hear postal issues, especially with how important the mail is in North America and around the world. The US had a near postal shut down not too long ago. Thank goodness it did not go through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

orangecrush8 Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 Does anyone know what the status is for the strike? Im looking at buying a jersey but am holding off on it in hopes that a decision gets made soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
formyhunny Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 It could happen Thursday seeing how a 72-hour notice is already posted. http://www.thestar.com/business/companies/article/999407--postal-workers-set-strike-deadline-you-could-stop-getting-mail-friday?bn=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brilliant! Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 Well this is just great...it's a good thing the guys I bought my Nords jersey from LAST SATURDAY didn't ship it until TODAY. Idiots. Now it's almost CERTAIN to get clogged up in this garbage. Why can't you lousy Canucks get your postal service together like ours is?

Now it's almost CERTAIN to get clogged up in this garbage. Why can't you lousy Canucks get your postal service together like ours is? Honestly, our postal system sucks. The people (or at least the people I have dealt with) couldnt care less about the customers and they flat out rob you in terms of price. Iv gotten jerseys from the States that took a week to deliver and it cost less than $8 to ship (I will admit it was first class). Anything that I need sent to the states is at least $20-25 and its the same within Canada. I shipped out a jersey to Saskatoon from just outside Toronto and it was like $24.

formyhunny Posted June 4, 2011 Report Share Posted June 4, 2011 I hear that instead of a strike all around Canada, it is a strike that is rotating. So it would be from one city, then another city. This explains how I got my mail Friday. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/report-on-business/top-business-stories/from-winnipeg-to-hamilton-rotating-postal-strikes-useless/article2046606/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mharolde Posted June 16, 2011 Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 So what are the most cost efficient ways to get packages shipped from Canada to the USA? I have heard about taxes and duties, does anyone know how these are calculated, or better yet how to avoid them altogether? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Purolator is still operating even though it is owned by Canada Post somewhat. UPS is expensive and I don't know about Fedex. I think Purolator is the cheapest option.
