Mail services may be mired in delays from the ongoing Postal Worker strike, but more delays may be expected for parcel deliveries.
Purolator and UPS have temporarily suspended shipments from some courier companies as they face a backlog of deliveries.
These suspensions, on top of the nationwide Canada Post strike, are leaving Canadians with fewer options during the busy holiday shopping season, but it does provide some encouragement to support local businesses.
The nationwide Canada Post strike entered its fourth week on Friday, with no signs of ending.
