Canada Post workers have entered a rotating strike across Canada. All shipments to PO Boxes must be by Canada Post. If shipping through CPC is best for your order, expect that delivery will be delayed.
I am using:
* Good Foot Delivery within Toronto if you are near enough public transit
* Shahnaz, my bike courier within Toronto (range @ 30 minute ride from downtown)
* Sendle Delivery within Canada
* Stallion, netParcel, Shippo and other shipping label brokers for addresses outside of Canada, generally using UPS.
CALCULATED SHIPPING COSTS Anarres continues to use the Canada Post shipping application due to its highly accurate algorithm for calculating shipping costs based on your address, and on weight and volume. I don't charge for handling, so the materials and my labour are "Free" to you. Shipping and delivery are not "Free" at Anarres because absorbing the cost would penalize my pickup customers. If you don't select shipping on checkout, or shipping is not calculated, it's still not "Free". I'll contact you to find out if you want Pick Up or Delivery, and if you want Delivery, I'll ask you to send the money for it. If you decide that you don't want your order because you have to pay for shipping, I'll refund you minus my costs.
Anarres selects the most suitable courier for your shipment, considering factors such as destination, cost, insurance and delivery speed.
If your order has already been posted and I used Canada Post, it will be delayed.
Below is the latest statement from Canada Post.

The Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) is holding rotating strikes...
Mail and parcels will not be delivered or picked up in locations where there are currently rotating strikes. Once the strike is over in a given location, the delivery of mail and parcels will restart as quickly as possible once operations resume.
Canada Post continues to operate across Canada. We are accepting and delivering mail and parcels in all locations, except where there are rotating strikes.
