Canada Post on strike (no mail in Canada)
The thread "Our Canadian brethren....." reminded me to post this matter about the current Canada Post labour strike. You can catch some of the details here:
http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/story/...ke-friday.html Long story short, the mail has not been delivered or received in Canada the past several days. The government is planning back-to-work legislation in the next few days to get things moving again. If you are expecting mail from Canada, or are planning to send mail to Canada, there will be issues, at least for the short-term. |

Of course I pick this week to do a deal with a board member from Canada. :)

On the bright side, our Canucks were the penultimate team in the Stanley Cup finals! ;)

Thanks for the info. Did not know this was going on in Canada. Same or similar may occur here in future. |

The USPS will stop accepting mail bound for Canada effective close of business today, except for Global Express Guaranteed, which will still be accepted and guaranteed. Hopefully the strike will end soon.
BTW, it is against the law for US postal workers to strike. Rick |

I just hope the box of cards I shipped to a Canadian buyer last week will eventually make it there so I won't have to get one of those crappy "reminder" notices from eBay. :eek:

Sorry, not correctly worded, was a generalized statement(not referring to the USPS) |
Of course same here....I sent a card to Canada on June 8th. Still not there...I wasn't aware of a strike. Figures.
|
Great. I have 3 purchases outstanding and all from Canada. Patience is a virture and will be tested :)

Update:
Canada Post mail should be moving again as of June 28th http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/stor...nada-post.html |
Wasn't overly concerned when my wife (nurse) had to strike but damnit when it comes to the delivery of my cards......don't mess with me. :D
