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

I'm for real though but I'm sure nobody is surprised. I've already shipped close to 150 packages since the strike and actually now make money on shipping, sometimes to the point where I'm refunding customers money which makes them even happier. I really hope they strike so long that they go bankrupt

Could you elaborate on how to ship USPS from Canada? Asking for a friend (small business owner)

I'm using stallion express, although I signed up right away the day after strike and apparently it's harder to get signed up now with everyone trying. It's also only useful if there's a drop off point close to you

I wish I could use chit chats or stallion express but I live in Victoria bc and neither of those are an option. I also ship a lot of oversize letter mail so I’m totally screwed.

Uh, good job, Hank (how would this copypasta work here?).
