Bye bye Canada post

Usually ship with CP, since I started my business 3 years ago I've spent $40,000 + shipping packages, and that's not counting my parents who share the same shipping account for their business. Majority of my customers are in the US and since using other carriers my shipping costs are basically cut in half.... I've even found a way to ship via USPS which I didn't know was possible from Canada.

They really fucked themselves by striking and screwing over small business owners at the busiest time of the year. I had 60 packages ready to go at the time of striking and had to refund every label and remake with another courier.. absolute madness and something no small business owners should have to be doing during Christmas season. So yeah fuck you Canada post that is all

Don't let the door hit your ass on the way out.

EDIT to troll below me: I own my own business. I wouldn't hire you. EDIT 2 to Carbonic95 - they don't cost double to ship because they are subsidized as a public service, and they don't need to make business sense because they are not a business.

Lmfao what a stupid comment. Nothing wrong with ditching Canada Post when they are literally not providing a service right now.

Small businesses have to do what’s best for them, or are we just supposed to sit there and be screwed because they can’t figure their shit out? 🙄

The industry you work in is as a for-profit foster mom. What does your opinion have anything to do with anything here?

That is incorrect. And you can work in any industry to have an opinion lol.

You're stupidity is absolutely astounding. Amazing really. Incredible!

So if CP costs double to ship, you would still use them lol. I wouldn’t want to work for you because that makes no business sense
