UPDATED SEPT 25, 2025
The Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) has launched a national strike following the federal government's announcement on Canada Post’s transformation. Canada Post’s operations shut down during a national strike.
Customers should expect delays
Customers will experience delays due to the strike activity.
Mail and parcels will not be processed or delivered for the duration of the national strike, and some post offices will be closed. Service guarantees are suspended for items already in the postal network. We have notified customers that their scheduled pickups have been cancelled. No new items will be accepted until the national disruption is over.
All mail and parcels in the postal network will be secured and delivered as quickly as possible once operations resume. However, a national strike of any length will impact service to Canadians well after the strike activity ends. Processing and delivery may take some time to fully return to normal.
Packages already in the Canada Post network may face delays. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we have no control over these shipments.
Items will be delivered as quickly as possible once operations resume
All mail and parcels in the postal network will be secured and delivered as quickly as possible on a first-in, first-out basis once operations resume. However, a national strike of any length will impact service well after the strike activity ends. Shutting down facilities across the country will affect Canada Post’s entire national network. Processing and delivery may take some time to fully return to normal.
Free local pickup option remains available
Customers in the Greater Golden Horseshoe area may opt to order for local pick-up, thereby avoiding shipping delays. Pickup is available Mondays and Wednesdays (holidays excepted) between 10am and 2pm, with pick-up location at Bridgeworks (200 Caroline St. N., Hamilton L8R 0A6). Orders are processed within 48 hours of receipt and customers will receive an email alerting them that their order is ready for pickup. Please bring your order confirmation number when you come to collect your order, and call or text 905-777-1223.
We apologize for any inconvenience and thank you for your understanding as we navigate this situation together.
