Because of the expected Canada Post strike we have decided to temporarily disable
our lettermail option.

However we continue to offer tracked shipping through alternate shipping companies
starting at only $2 more than the previous lettermail option.

Come check us out and don't forget to favorite some stores that continue
shipping!!


- Affordable shipping options
- Free shipping on US orders over $30
- 20% off almost 650.000 parts
- great service

I juts looked and seems negotiations are tabled again despite the current agreements
ending in just 8 days, I might have to follow suit as at this rate it’s almost
a guarantee there will be another strike

Yeah I don't really see any way this will get resolved before the deadline.

The biggest issue we had last time around was that most buyers believed they
had to wait till after the strike to buy again. Hopefully this time around people
know that there are still plenty of other shipping companies who would gladly
cover those packages.

indeed, seems like no good outcomes here. Ive now fully removed lettermail as
an option from all my store fronts for lego

I disabled Lettermail shipping today as well.

Next week will be the "do I close my store or switch to couriers like
last time".

Considering this is usually the beginning of the slow down, I've still been
receiving a fair amount of orders. US orders dried up for ~2 weeks but now I'm
back up to 1 every day or so.

I don't think I'll offer courier shipping to the US this time if there's
a strike. Don't need the possible headaches if they start getting charged
high brokerage fees like us Canadians do.

Closing my store is no option for me....kinda hard when you do it full time 😄
I seem to get a fair amount from the US still. Also didn't notice any issues
last time during the strike when it comes to shipping there.
So hopefully I don't have to drop that part 😊
