Canada Post

[Chemist]

As many of you might be aware Canada Post will more than likely be on strike/be locked out as of July 2nd which means the last postal delivery day is June 30th. If you have parcels sitting at the post office, make sure you pick them up.

As of tomorrow we'll be switching over to UPS for all parcels to ensure they aren't trapped in the system if a strike happens.

We'll be disabling the Canada Post shipping option later tonight. In many cases the UPS shipping rate is lower than that of Canada Post due to our large discounts.

Remember to use the discount code "freeship" at checkout to get free shipping on orders over $200...see the free shipping thread for the conditions.

Do you mean you ship for free by UPS for every order over 200$ I guess ammunition cant be included ?

Thanks

Ammo is included...just use the "freeship" code at checkout. There are some exemptions etc but they are listed in the other thread.

Oh no not UPS

Oh no not UPS

We spend 100's of thousands of dollars shipping with UPS every year and they are no different than an other courier. It all boils down to your local driver no matter who you use. Please no bashing courier services in this thread, it's not for that.

And ups send its to Newfoundland and expects me to be able to drop everything and drive 2 days to pick it up, basically my gas and ferry costs

Anything that is ordered already by Canada Post is leaving in the morning which should get pretty much everything there by the end of next week.


I don't know if you've used UPS for NFLD lately but they opened a new east coast sorting centre last year and service greatly improved for that area. We ship a tin of stuff to NFLD by UPS.

Last time I shipped with ups I had to argue with them that my town was mainland not the island lol, and blizzard express is supposed to be the depot loyally
