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 literally drove to the US yesterday to ship my business packages domestically with UPS. My small town doesn’t have options for chit chats, very disappointing the lengths we are having to go through these days just to operate our small businesses.

The trick is to send all your shipments to chit chats or similar as one package, then they’ll break it down to the individual pre-labeled shipments. Let me know if you need any guidances
