US Trade War
US Shipping has been resumed.
As promised, due to the timing of the rule change and a local event I was preparing for and travelling to I delayed looking into the process but now that I have looked into it I have resumed US shipping.
This does mean all orders to the US will be required to pay for duties up-front. These will be listed as a separate item alongside the normal shipping costs. As a reminder that the Trump administration has levied a 35% tariff against Canadian goods while also cancelling the ‘de minimus’ policy for US citizens that until recently allowed you to avoid paying those tariffs on smaller purchases.
Free Basic Shipping is still available for US orders that exceed 75$ CAD, thought Duties are NOT covered by Free Basic Shipping
As a reminder these tariffs do not apply to STL products.
Canada Post Strike 2, Electric Boogaloo
Negotiations have broken down between Canada Post and the Worker’s Union yet again and the Union is capable of going on Strike at any point now. I will still be continuing the Anniversary Sale in light of this, given I can’t gauge what the future will hold and I have Games Con Canada coming up next month and will need time to prepare for that as well so further delays of the
Sale won’t be productive unfortunately.
That being said, so far the Union has only elected to not work any overtime at the time of this posting. Thai may cause delays but packages will still move. So long as this remains the case this should negatively affect any orders made during the sale. Should things change between now and the start of the sale packages could be negatively impacted. I can’t do anything for orders already with Canada Post but just like last time if a full strike goes into effect I will hold all orders here at the shop until the strike is ended. Although this will delay delivery of the orders just like last time the stock will be ready to go and picked, so ordering is still a means of guaranteeing products.
If a full strike does happen I will be able to offer refunds for anyone who hasn’t had an order shipped if requested, though I will not be able to honor the sale price at a later date.
Obviously this won’t have any effect on STL orders. If any one has any further questions or concerns feel free to reach out!
