Canada Post Strike Over (245)

Update!! The Canada Post strike is officially over, we (Canadians) should start to be receiving our goodies in the mail come Tuesday afternoon of this week!!

Here’s a good article I found regarding the update.

Thanks to Monica from Totally Tea as I have my order pending with her to be shipped and she is shipping it Canada Post (I emailed asking her for another method of shipping to ensure it’s arrival and she said that the Strike is over so thus shipping it the standard way) – YAY!! Thanks for the good news Monica :)) I’m super happy now!

What a nice way to start off my Monday.

I do realize there will be a huge backlog of mailing that’s been sitting for the last week or so so please be patient with your Postal Workers they are doing their job and we will get our goodies soon!!

Happy Monday all!
