Canadapost shipping labels and customer service

[#1]

Canadapost sent an email out that they are accepting new shipments today (19th), but the Etsy shipping labels are still not available.  Why are we not getting a firm date from Etsy?  I tried to create a shipment VIA the Canadapost website and the quote was $5 more.  I've tried to have customer service call me since yesterday, but an error message keeps coming up.  Is anyone else getting these error messages?

Thank you for your thoughts.  We must all do what we feel is best and we won't all agree on that.

"can't wait to see what happens if Canada Post decides to go on strike again in May."...

I would like to think that most of us are now somewhat more prepared to go with alternate shipping methods....and/or put shops on vacation...or extend processing times...or whatever else it takes to keep things moving along...

You would think... but based on this last strike, there were a lot of people putting their shop on vacation, or just waiting & seeing, publicly unwilling to look into other shipping options that had already been in place more than 2 strikes ago.
