Have you received your mail? As a possible Canada Post strike approaches, Canadians have additional mail and shipping options.

You might be wondering what alternative shipping options you have in light of the potential work stoppage at Canada Post that could occur before the holidays.

In fact, there are a lot of possibilities.




A new collective bargaining agreement is being negotiated between Canada Post and the union that represents its postal employees. Both sides are legally able to provide notice of a strike or lockout, even when neither side has done so. Prior to a work interruption, they must give at least 72 hours' warning.

According to Canada Post, the risk of this workforce disruption has already affected its operations, since revenue and volume are down before the typically busy holiday shipping season.


Therefore, if you are anxious about utilizing the mail service in Canada, Here are several shipping alternatives for both domestic and international shipment, even while it continues to deliver the mail.

FedEx is a worldwide shipping firm headquartered in the United States that provides both domestic and international shipping services. In addition to normal ground and freight services, it offers express delivery and next-day delivery to the majority of metropolitan locations.

FedEx offers both normal and expedited shipping options, including next-day shipping to many U.S. cities, if you need to ship goods to the US or other countries.

The Purolator
Although Canada Post owns the majority of Purolator, the Canadian courier company's employees are not represented by the same union as Canada Post employees.

Packages can be delivered by the shipping corporation to more than 210 countries as well as to and from Canada. Locating a location is as simple as locating a nearby pharmacy in Canada, where there are over 2,500 certified delivery agents.
