I'm pretty sure the minister that oversees that type of thing as already talking about looking at back to work legislation for both Canada Post and Air Canada.

Looks like the government is moving ahead with back to work legislation, but it probably won't pass till next week.

Awesome, Guess my 2 Botcon Wildriders that were mailed last week can join my Igear Kup heads that have been sitting in Canada Customs for the last 2 months.

I have a bunch of car parts sitting in customs since mid april too which were shipped usps, so I guess I will continue to wait lol.

Well the way I've understood it, "next week" is pretty much a best case scenario, and that's what worries me.

Like, I understand that mail is irrelevant for the most part now days (for letters, documents, etc), but is that really the whole story? I mean, won't somebody think of the children? Or you know, the transformer fans...

This and I have a boatload of stuff coming in the mail now...

yeah... I expected if I order anything from Japan; it already take time to scan for the arrangement, checking the radiation with the rest of the packages and then stuck in the Canadian custom again for months after months...

Does anyone know if UPS, not USPS but UPS, is still delivering to Canada? I have an order from BBTS I'd like to get before TFcon. If Canada Post doesn't quit their bitching very soon, UPS might be my only option.

[pud333]

UPS should and does. I believe Automaton Toys is going to use UPS for shipments. If they ship within Canada and the US, I don't see why they wouldn't between countries. You'll most definitely have to pay duties though.
