How the Canada Post Strike Affects Tea Runners in Canada

Last Updated: December 18, 2024

Canada Post has resumed services and now faces a backlog of shipments which, we have hear will push back deliveries by about 10 business days.

Canada Post Lettermail is our only option to offer "free" shipping on our subscription boxes in Canada. Without the availability of this service, we cannot ship orders for free.  

Rather than shut down orders completely, on December 7th we began taking orders with an additional $10 per shipment so we could ship via UPS.  Now that the strike is over, we are back to offering free shipping on our subscriptions. 

If you purchased a subscription with an additional $10 per shipment, this will be refunded soon. 

 

Existing Subscriptions & Renewals

Unfortunately, we cannot ship our regular subscriptions while this strike is on. We cannot take an $14-$18 loss on shipping every box. 

If your December box was not shipped, it will now be your January box and all future shipments have been pushed forward.

Thank you for your understanding,
