Canada Post Strike and US Tariffs

Tariff and duties are taxes collected by courier service and not by the bitcompact store. Unfortunately we will not be able to accept refund requests for shipments that are rejected by the buyer.

Once again you are responsible for any additional import duties, fees, or taxes. If you would like cancel your order then we can do so if it has not yet shipped. Thank you for your patience and understanding, have a wonderful day!

============

 

The Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) has launched a national strike effective immediately. Canada Post's operations are shut down for the duration of the strike.

Impact on your shipments:

  • New shipments cannot be processed through Canada Post.
  • Packages already in their system will be delayed or on hold.
  • Service will resume when the strike ends.

Keep your orders moving:

  • Update checkout: Remove Canada Post shipping rates to avoid customer confusion.
  • Switch carriers: Use UPS and Purolator for domestic shipments, Purolator and DHL Express for international orders—all available in your Shopify admin.
  • Communicate with customers: Update your store and notify customers about potential delays on existing orders and any changes to your shipping or returns policies during the strike.
