CANADA POST AND SHIPPING

As the post is titled, a word on Shipping with the ongoing uncertainties involving Canada Post and their contract “negotiations” with the Postal Union. The vast majority of addresses in North America remain unaffected by the Postal disruption. Currently Canada Post is still functioning as usual, with the exception of a ban on overtime hours, but the reliability of their service until a new CBA is signed remains suspect.

We at penablers have been using Sendle, a courier aggregator for some time with very good results, and the only exception to shipping with them are Canada Post’s post office boxes.

Likewise, shipping to all North American addresses with the exception of PO Boxes should continue without disruption.

International orders are affected in so much as courier rates are showing as approximately 10% more than Tracked International Shipping quotes with Canada Post, but the service from any of the major courier companies does surpass that of Canada Post. Be advised that duties, taxes, and any possible brokerage fees remain the responsibility of the purchaser.

Orders placed are only “submitted” for review. The wide range of products and associated different shipping costs make automating the entire process a nightmare. . Orders submitted for review are checked for stock and correct shipping tier selected, and then confirmed. Local pickup is St. Catharines, Ontario.
