Canada Post Strike Update – What It Means for Your Shipments & How Hipshipper Is Responding (Sept 2025)
On Thursday, Sept-25, Canada Post workers launched a nationwide strike with no advance warning. Unlike previous actions where strike notices were announced days in advance, this time the announcement was sudden — effective immediately. As of now, all parcels handled by Canada Post are not being delivered.
At Hipshipper, we’ve already taken action to protect your business and your buyers’ delivery experience.

🚛 What We’ve Done
We’ve switched all Canada-bound shipping to our Delivered Duty Paid (DDP) carrier network. While this option is more expensive (which is why it’s not used under normal circumstances), it’s currently the only reliable alternative. The good news: it comes with clear benefits —
✅ Faster and more predictable delivery
✅ No surprise customs charges for buyers
✅ Smooth clearance and fewer delays
✅ Better tracking visibility

📦 What to Expect
Shipments already handed off to Canada Post are stuck until the strike ends. We will reach out to you individually with a report of your affected orders.

New shipments will move via DDP and are expected to continue without interruption.

💡 Why This Matters for You as a Seller
By moving to DDP, we’re ensuring that your buyers still receive a reliable, premium delivery experience during the strike. This protects your ratings, minimizes complaints, and keeps your store running smoothly.

❓ Questions or Concerns?
We’re here to help. Please contact our support team if you need details about your specific orders or want to better understand how these changes affect your account.
We’ll continue monitoring the situation closely and provide further updates as it develops.
Thank you for trusting Hipshipper.

Canada Post Labor Update – Service Continues as Normal
Good news! The situation with Canada Post appears to be less disruptive than initially expected. While the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) has implemented a nationwide overtime ban, standard shipping services are continuing without major interruptions.
We had prepared for the possibility of a full strike, but the current limited labor action is not expected to significantly impact delivery times for most shipments.
As always, we’re actively managing and rotating between carriers to optimize both cost and reliability. Your shipments to Canada will continue to move smoothly, and we’ll adjust operations as needed to ensure the best service possible.
No action is required on your part — just keep shipping as usual.
Thanks for your continued trust,
– The Hipshipper Team

📢 Canada Post Strike Starting Friday, May 23 – Here’s What Hipshipper Is Doing to Keep Your Shipments Moving

Canada Post has received official strike notices from CUPW, with the strike scheduled to begin on Friday, May 23, 2025. You can read the official announcement here:
Canada Post Notice

At Hipshipper, we’re fully prepared and have already taken proactive steps to ensure your business operations and customer experience remain unaffected.

What We’ve Done:
We’ve transitioned to a robust network of alternative carriers that support Delivered Duty Paid (DDP) service across Canada. This means:
✅ Faster delivery times
✅ No surprise customs fees for your buyers
✅ Smoother, more reliable delivery experience
✅ Full tracking transparency

What to Expect:
Shipments that were already handed off to Canada Post may see some delays depending on the duration and reach of the strike.
All new shipments are being handled through our alternative logistics network and are expected to proceed without disruption.

What This Means for You:
This isn’t just a temporary fix — it’s an upgrade. Our current DDP solution delivers faster and more predictable service, ensuring a better experience for your customers and fewer support issues for you.

And looking ahead:
Once the strike is over, we’ll reintroduce the Canada Post–based DDU option as a lower-cost alternative for sellers and buyers who prioritize cost savings. This way, you’ll have the flexibility to choose between maximum convenience (DDP) and maximum cost-efficiency (DDU) — whatever fits your needs best.

Questions or Concerns?
We’re here to support you. Please contact our team with any questions about current shipments or what to expect moving forward.

We’ll continue to monitor the situation closely and keep you updated as it evolves.

Thank you for choosing Hipshipper.

Delays in Some Shipments to Brazil

Dear Hipshippers

We want to inform you about recent delays in some shipments to Brazil. Due to recent customs strikes and ongoing customs challenges in clearing backlogged volumes, packages are experiencing longer transit times. This is an industry-wide issue, and Hipshipper customers shipping via 'Standard' shipping may be impacted. Our team is in regular communication with the USPS and Correos as to the status.

Thank you for your understanding. We will continue to keep you updated as we work with Brazilian authorities towards a better experience for our clients.

Regards,
Hipshipper support

International Shipping to Australia and New Zealand - Service update

Follow Hipshippers,

We wanted to let you know that the US Postal Service (USPS) is unable to secure transportation of packages to Australia and New Zealand and have suspended most services going there – including ePacket and PMI. Also, there are limited outbound flights from the USA to Australia and New Zealand, which makes things even more challenging.

Hipshipper continues to provide service to both Australia and New Zealand.

We have alternatives with Australia Post which we use but we wanted to at least let you know the situation – please expect delays as a result of the Covid-19 lockdowns locally in Australia and New Zealand

Hipshipper Covid-19 Status Update

Fellow HipShippers!

First and most important – I hope that you and your family are safe during this extraordinary time.

On our side, at HipShipper, we are closely monitoring the Coronavirus (COVID-19) situation and its constantly changing effect on the logistics of getting parcels delivered around the world.

As an essential service, our processing facility remains open and operational.

Most postal administrations around the world have experienced only minor impacts with expected delays on delivery and currently we can deliver more than 97% of orders.

Unfortunately, there are temporary suspensions and interruptions due to airline restrictions into certain areas. Currently, we cannot ship to about 20 countries but all of them are insignificant destinations for your packages. In case you do get an order for such a destination we will cancel it and let you know. You can expect this situation to effect less than 3% of your international orders.

We will keep you updated and make any changes needed as events unfold.

Be safe and well!
