You maybe heard that Canada Post might be taking strike action, starting Friday, November 15th?
Canada Post says if workers begin rotating strike activity, it will continue deliveries whenever possible as it works to reach a deal with the union.
“In the event of a labour disruption, the Corporation will work to minimize service disruptions, but customers may experience delays,” Canada Post warned.

So, it’s business as usual at Bear Dance Crafts. Until we know more, or more action is taken by Canada Post.
You can expect your order shipped in a timely manner (0-2 business days, shipping between Monday-Friday, except holidays), as normal.
You might experience your order taking a little longer. It’s technically “holiday season” in the mail order world, so mail has begun to slow a little, so add a little time to that when planning your projects.

Important: If you order lettermail, we will happily send that way (it’s cheaper after all), but you will not have tracking with lettermail. If you order “Expedited” or “Xpress” within Canada, you will receive a tracking number. If you order to the USA, all orders will ship with tracking. If you choose lettermail, sorry, no tracking, it just isn’t an option for that price.

If we hear more, or need to pivot (switch to couriering our orders to a 3rd party shipper), we will update on the blog here.

So sorry to everyone affected by this news. We hope Canada Post can move past this strike action. Many people rely on our postal system for very important things (and crafters gotta craft!).

Warm wishes, Natalie
