CANADA POST STRIKE - Updates!
June 4 2025 - Back to Canada Post! Expected Delays, But Cheaper Shipping
We’ve resumed using Canada Post for all shipments. While there are some minor delays due to a national overtime ban, most orders are still arriving within 2–4 business days.
We’ve made this switch to help keep shipping costs as low as possible — especially for customers who don’t qualify for free shipping. Canada Post remains the most affordable and reliable option for now.
That said, this could change at any moment. If the union issues a 72-hour strike notice (as they’re required to by law), we’ll immediately move back to alternative carriers like Purolator or UPS to avoid any service interruptions.
We’ll continue to keep you updated here. Thanks for your understanding and continued support.
Basically, expect some delays but enjoy cheaper shipping!

🚨 Canada Post Strike (Again!) – What This Means for You
Canada Post is once again threatening a strike which would likely start on Friday. Although it is not fully confirmed, it is looking very likely that that strike will happen. This means operations across the country will completely cease, and no pickups or deliveries through their network until further notice.
As a result, other shipping carriers will be overwhelmed with the sudden surge in demand, causing nationwide delays and logistical challenges.
🚚 Our Temporary Shipping Plan
We’ve temporarily moved to alternate carriers to keep your orders moving. Please review the important changes below:
🔁 Carriers and coverage
-We are currently shipping with alternate carriers
-These carriers do not service all areas. If your location isn’t covered, we’ll contact you with options or offer a refund.
📦 Shipping to PO boxes
PO boxes are not supported during this time. Please provide an alternate address at checkout.
🆔 ID verification
Our current carriers do not support ID on delivery. For first-time customers, we require you to email your ID to info@vape4change.ca before shipping.
🌍 International and U.S. shipping
Temporarily suspended due to carrier vape restrictions and the ongoing strike.
💸 Temporary flat-rate shipping
Shipping rates have doubled, forcing us to temporarily replace free shipping with flat rates. To help manage increased shipping costs, we’ve introduced a flat-rate structure which is based on your province. You’ll pay a fixed rate at checkout, and we’ll absorb the extra costs.
⏳ Delivery times
Due to high demand, shipping times may be delayed. We cannot guarantee delivery dates at this time. Tracking information will be provided with every shipment - please use this information for the most updated information regarding your package.
💙 Thank you for your support
We understand this situation is frustrating, and we’re doing everything we can to ensure your orders arrive as quickly and affordably as possible. Once Canada Post resumes operations, we’ll return to live rates and free shipping. Please note that we have absolutely no control over Canada Post's operations or the strike situation. We are just as frustrated as you are!
Once Canada Post resumes operations, we’ll return to our usual shipping options, including free shipping and live rates.
