Canada Post Rotating Strikes: What You Need to Know

As Canada Post employees represented by the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) transition from a full national strike to rotating strikes, customers across Canada should prepare for continued delivery delays.

What’s Happening

After a sudden national strike that began on September 25, Canada Post will begin welcoming employees back on Saturday, October 11. However, instead of a full return to regular operations, CUPW has announced plans to move forward with rotating strike actions—meaning different facilities across the country may be impacted at different times.

While this marks a step toward resuming service, Canada Post warns that instability will continue across the network. Restarting and pausing operations in different regions has historically caused service interruptions, and all delivery guarantees remain suspended until further notice.

What This Means for Best Vapes Customers

At Best Vapes, we’re committed to getting your orders to you as quickly as possible. However, due to these ongoing postal disruptions, customers should expect shipping delays over the coming weeks.

Here’s what you can expect:

• Processing delays as Canada Post clears mail and parcels already trapped in their network.

• Rotating strikes may affect certain regions, causing unpredictable slowdowns in delivery.

• Parcel pickup and drop-off services will resume gradually, with new commercial volumes expected to be accepted starting Wednesday, October 15.

• On-time delivery guarantees remain suspended until stability returns.

Your orders will remain secure and in transit, but delivery times may vary depending on whether your region is affected by a rotating strike.

What We’re Doing

To minimize the impact on our customers, Best Vapes continues to work closely with alternative shipping partners to maintain smooth operations wherever possible. While shipping costs may fluctuate during this period, we’re doing everything we can to keep service reliable and affordable.

We’ll continue to monitor the situation closely and provide updates as new information becomes available.

Looking Ahead

With over 170 days of strike activity in the past year, the postal system has faced ongoing instability. Canada Post has urged CUPW to return to the bargaining table to reach a new collective agreement that restores confidence for both businesses and consumers.

In the meantime, Best Vapes appreciates your patience and understanding as we navigate these challenges together.

We’ll continue to keep you informed on any further shipping updates.
