Canada Post Suspends Operations

An ongoing labor dispute between Canada Post and the Canadian Union of Postal Workers has escalated to a full lockout. Canada Post has announced that, effective today, mail will not be accepted or delivered across Canada until further notice.

The lockout impacts all shipments to and from Canada handled by Canada Post, as well as shipments into Canada via postal carriers such as USPS or Royal Mail.

Sellers from both sides of the border who have not yet shipped items that have been paid for are encouraged to work with their buyers to discuss potential alternate shipping options. Sellers who can offer courier services, such as UPS or FedEx, are encouraged to modify their listings to offer these options. We’re adding messaging in purchase flows to alert buyers to the situation, and we’ve also included a message in the feedback process to remind buyers that shipping delays due to labor disputes are not within a seller’s control.

We will work closely with the Seller Standards team to protect sellers from lower performance ratings received due to Canada Post disruption-related issues.

This is an unfortunate and frustrating situation. While we hope for a quick resolution to the conflict, we will do everything in our power to support sellers during this time.

Update posted on June 16th:

Sellers, as always, only transactions with U.S. buyers count towards your seller standards, including eligibility for Top-rated seller and PowerSeller status on eBay.com."

Yeah, it's all over the news up here. Canada Post workers and their uniion are some of the biggest malcontents we have up here. You'd swear they think they should get the rest of the week off with pay if they drop a postcard on their toe.

Anyway, last I heard our federal government (Yay Stephen Harper!!!) introduced back to work legislation, forcing them to return to work on Monday.

I didnt read the article, I should have before I posted.

But does that mean a pakage in the mail RIGHT NOW will not be mailed because these guys want more monies?

Like say i am a diabetic, and i order my medicine and it gets shipped via the canadian postal service. My medicine is chillin out as my blood sugar hits rock bottom?

Holoman, I'm pretty sure that "back to work" legislation has been passed in the case of the striking Canada Post workers, so everything should be moving smoothly by Monday.
