Good news: The Canada Post Workers Union (CUPW) is ending its national strike and moving to rotating strikes starting Saturday at 6 a.m. local time. Mail and parcels will gradually resume circulating across the network, albeit with delays depending on the regions affected by the rotating stoppages.

What this means for your orders:

• Canada Post is gradually resuming its operations : processing and delivery have resumed on a limited basis; delays remain possible and may vary depending on the centres affected by the rotating strikes.
• Residual delays : Even after the resumption, Canada Post indicates that returning to normal will take time; service guarantees remain suspended during disruptions.
• Internal prioritization : all orders ready to ship via Canada Post will be injected into the network as soon as possible.
• Alternative options maintained : To reduce the impact of delays, alternative carriers (e.g., private services) may be offered at checkout depending on your address.

Quick background:

• National strike launched on September 25, leading to a near-total shutdown of mail and parcel processing and delivery.
• Announced transition to rotating strikes to "get mail and parcels moving again" while negotiations continue with Canada Post and the federal government.
• Canada Post has presented new comprehensive offers (including staggered wage increases) in a context of modernization and financial challenges; talks continue.

Practical advice for our customers:

• Choose an alternative carrier if available for more predictable delays during the rotating strike period.
• Allow additional time if you select Canada Post, especially for areas likely to be affected by rotating shutdowns.
• Monitor your shipment notifications: Tracking may update in waves as processing resumes at each facility.

Petite Sublime Commitment:

• Transparency on delivery times at the time of purchase and via confirmation email.
• Dynamically adjust shipping options to minimize delays.
• Responsive customer support: For any urgent order (birthday, gift, event), contact customer service to evaluate the best shipping option.
