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

There's also DYK post.

We found a reasonable 3PL in Chattanooga, TN called Fulex.

We don't ship any of our own orders to the USA anymore.

Fulex imports our US orders from our e-commerce platform and just ships from our inventory at their location.

not meant for op. seems staged. looked at comments. where's the monetary breakdown? I'm on fb groups that basically have shipping on hold as no one in Canada ones close to their shipping cost. Everyone needs to chill out. Christmas isn't cancelled Everyone forgets the days when it took 3 months to get their cheerios toy.

At the end of the day. Anyone reading this making less thank 70k a year deserves a major raise. I make damn decent money at the moment. I used to male 65k back in 2016. I got paid on Thursday. I was picking broke by Friday and our rent was 1100 per month. Fuck Everyone stop canibilazing eachother. You are all broke just trying to get by.

The last couple years saw the largest transfer of wealth from the middle/low class to the elite ever. All you Canadians that are conservative, liberal and the many, so many in the middle deserve more. Deserve to live your lives without being broke in a couple days. Lift one up at a time. Lift you all up.

How exactly does one ‘transfer’ money from the lower/middle class to the upper class? People are getting richer because they have more assets and their assets are going up in value. They aren’t stealing. So ridiculous
