Potential Canada Post Strike and US Tariffs

A Canada Post strike could begin as early as May 22, with no advance notice. Please select alternatives like UPS, Fedex or there could be potential disruption and delay. Please use an address rather than a PO box — a lockable box at a Canada Post site that other couriers can't access — in the event of a strike.

We're now just one week away from the potential Canada Post strike, and there's still no deal in place. Negotiations are ongoing, but wages and working conditions remain unresolved. If no agreement is reached by May 22, a strike or lockout could begin immediately.

The last time this happened (November 2024), the strike lasted 32 days and caused major delays, especially for small businesses and rural customers.

Attention US buyers: tariffs lowered 115% to 30% as of May 14 for next 90 days
