In case you haven't been following this they will probably either go out on strike or be locked out on July 2nd.

If you ship to Canada you might want to temporarily take them off your approved list to avoid any issues.

Good suggestion.

Etsy posted this today with links to updates:


We are reaching out today to inform you of the possibility of delayed shipments to, from, and within Canada beginning on July 2 as a result of a service disruption caused by an ongoing labour dispute at Canada Post. The disruption will affect all shipments that are handled by Canada Post. This includes shipments into Canada from other national carriers like USPS and Royal Mail.
Sign up to receive Canada Post labour dispute updates in real time: www.canadapost.ca/web/en/comm/list.page?ecid=murl%7Cddn%7Clr%7C5.

Notify buyers of the labour dispute in your policy page, and mention that you will not be able to ensure deliver


Of course I sent one to Canada Saturday so I hope it makes it! I don't know if the link will work from here.

I just shipped a package with GPS today that is going to Canada. I guess since it's going through the GPS program it's not something I need to worry about though. Wonder if Ebay will remove them from the program until it straightened out?

Latest update, lockout may still be pending but they are still delivering mail as of now.

CANADIAN POSTAL STRIKE UPDATE 7/11

On Sunday, Canada Post announced that it had retracted its lockout notice to the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW), effectively removing the possibility of a strike or lockout until another 72 hour notice is issued by either party. At this time, Canada Post is accepting and delivering packages and mail as usual.

In response to this development, eBay will now initiate a process to roll back the changes made to estimated delivery dates as well as the buyer-facing messaging about a possible disruption. We will reinstate these measures as necessary, pending further announcements from Canada Post and/or CUPW.

Sellers who put their eBay Stores on vacation mode or otherwise reduced or removed their eBay inventory are now strongly encouraged to return to business as usual.
