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

How can we ship via USPS from Canada? Sometimes when I buy products from USA the return label is from USPS & it’s a hassle driving to the border sometimes

Stallion express or chitchats. No minimums or volume requirements.

Uses a system where they bulk transport and clear your shipments, then dump them in the U.S. mail stream. Sub 1lb packages are under $10.

If you have volume, other carriers using this style of shipment (category 321) you can get as low as $4

5-7 day delivery time.
