While rotating strikes in select cities across Canada have been in effect since October 22, Etsy continues business as usual, and we ask our sellers to do the same. Delivery times for current orders placed on Etsy from shoppers in affected Canadian regions have seen no major delays.
As the strikes continue, we’re here to help. You may consider:
-Updating your shop policies and Announcements section with information about delivery adjustments.
-Researching alternative commercial shipping carriers such as Chit Chats
https://chitchats.com. -Encouraging your shoppers to purchase early for the holidays to avoid delivery delays.
If you otherwise follow Etsy’s shipping policies, Etsy will not hold you responsible for delayed shipments as they relate to Canada Post during this time.
If you’d like to receive updates from Canada Post on the dispute, you may sign up for updates on the Canada Post site
http://canadapost.ca/update. We will continue to update you as we receive more information. As always, if you have any questions or concerns about how this situation will affect your Etsy shop, feel free to contact Etsy Support at
