1/10 - Severe snowstorms in several US states and wildfires in Southern California are impacting deliveries.

Please keep reading to learn more about how this may affect your orders. 

Severe winter conditions

The East Coast and Midwest are experiencing winter storms, impacting shipping within the regions and in surrounding states. Please allow additional time for your items to be delivered. 

Affected states: Alabama, Arkansas, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Mississippi, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Texas, Vermont, Virginia, Washington D.C., and West Virginia.

Wildfires in California

The ongoing wildfires (Palisades, Eaton, Hurst) in Southern California (Malibu, Santa Monica, Los Angeles, Pasadena, and San Fernando) also impact shipping and delivery in and around the region. 

USPS regularly shares information about nationwide delays here.

What does this mean for your store?

You can still place orders, but processing and delivery may take longer than usual. We recommend informing your customers about the potential delays to set realistic expectations.

-----

12/13 - Due to a late Thanksgiving and heightened shipping demand, USPS is currently managing significant volume increases.

To address these challenges, USPS has implemented temporary process adjustments that may impact shipping timelines:

• Skipped scans: In an effort to prioritize moving parcels, some initial shipping scans may be skipped. This means the first tracking update may appear later in the process, often at a local processing center or delivery unit.
• Manual sorting: With sorting machines operating at capacity, USPS has shifted to more manual sorting to keep operations running smoothly.

Although these adjustments are not uncommon during the holiday season, they may cause the pre-transit period to seem longer than usual.

What you can expect:

• Packages are still being processed and delivered as expected, despite these temporary changes.
• For the most accurate updates on specific shipments, customers can contact their local post office directly.

12/16 Update: End of Canada Strike – Orders Open, But Delays Persist

Dear Valued Customers,

We’re pleased to announce that the Canada strike will offical ends as of 12/17/24, and we are now taking orders shipping to Canada once again. While this is great news, please be aware that there are significant delays as the backlog of orders in transit is worked through.

Important Updates:

• No ETA for Orders in Transit: Any orders already in transit to Canada do not have an estimated time of arrival.
• Delays for New Orders: Due to the large volume of packages in the backlog, new orders are also expected to experience extended delivery times.
• Christmas Deliveries: Unfortunately, we do not anticipate orders in transit or new shipments to Canada to arrive before Christmas.

We appreciate your understanding and patience during this time as carriers work to resolve the delays. If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out to our support team.

Thank you for your continued support.

Important note on refunds

Please note that due to the backlog in CA and US customs, we are unable to process refunds for orders stuck in transit or that are without tracking updates at this time. This includes any orders that went out prior to the Strike shutdown. All orders in transit are non-refundable as they will be delivered as expected with the Canadian Postal Service back at work.
