Aren't they still operating? Just not everyone goes on strike at once. It'll depends on where the package is and if that city has a postal strike or not. I don't see why they would steal it...

They haven't stopped working completely, the strikes are rotational from one city to another, so depending on your city, it'll just take a little longer for it to arrive.

Technically its not the strikes that stopped completely. Canada Post locked out all the workers so that no one can work in an effort to move along negotiations etc.
Sucks for everyone who needs to mail uni stuff ><

I actually don't know if that helps, it's just the first thing that popped up when I did a google search. Let me know if it's not because I scrolled and was like... not reading all that >.>

I don't think UPS is working less but I think they are charging more. I might be wrong, but today I was trying to buy something on eBay from New York, and they were charging me 50 dollars (plus tax after that) just for shipping within a week, so I was like **** that. |
