Canada Post Strike Disrupts Mail Services 📦

How the Canada Post strike affects your mail, from passports to cheques
https://ift.tt/xTDcPGl
Canada Post workers are now on a nationwide strike, halting mail and parcel processing and delivery without significant prior notice. The Canadian Union of Postal Workers initiated the strike after federal government reforms to delivery services, which the union claims "forced their hand." This disruption means service guarantees are suspended, and all mail and parcels currently in the postal system will be delivered on a first-in, first-out basis once operations resume. Passport deliveries may face delays, though applicants can still obtain passports through alternative couriers or in-person visits to Service Canada. Crucially, the delivery of socio-economic cheques, including those for CPP, OAS, and the Canada Child Tax Benefit, will continue as agreed upon by CUPW. Banks are advising customers to access statements and make payments online, and to visit branches for new debit or credit cards. Live animal shipments already in transit will be processed, but no new ones will be accepted. Other couriers, like Purolator and FedEx, are operational and implementing contingency plans to manage increased volumes. Amazon states that Canada Post handles only a small portion of their deliveries and returns, and they will notify affected customers, suggesting alternative couriers for returns.
