No Canada Temporarily

Post by ChefKnivesToGo »

DHL has a labor issue, and they're not accepting shipments after today. Hopefully, this won't last long. We'll ship again to our friends to the north as soon as this is resolved.

Just hire Mr. Suburban to weekly drive a load of packaged knives into Canada to post with the Canadian equivalent of the USPS. Problem solved.
You can blame Mr. Suburban for my being here. :lol:

We're about a 10-hour drive to the border. I think you could get there in 6 hours XexoX. Can we send the packages to you, and you can drive them up? :)

Well, as I don't have a passport, and I hear that takes nearly a year to get now, it might be a very long wait! Plus the traffic through the Seattle area is a Royal Pain in the Backside. If you still have the problem in a year, ask me again!

Ok it appears the strike is over and we'll be shipping to Canada again later today or tomorrow.



Dear Valued Customer,


We are pleased to announce that DHL Express has restored all services to and from Canada, and all operations will resume effective June 30, 2025.


As you may know, our DHL Express shipping operations in Canada were suspended on Friday, June 20, 2025, due to ongoing labor actions and the implementation of a new legislation, which restricted our ability to deploy contingency solutions. This led to a pause on the collection of shipments destined for or dispatched from Canada as of Wednesday, June 18.


After nearly a year of discussions with Unifor's trade union bargaining committee, which represents a significant proportion of our workforce in Canada, we are happy to report that a 4-year agreement has now been reached, which will remain in effect until July 1, 2029. DHL Express Canada has worked diligently and in good faith with Unifor's bargaining committee to reach a fair and sustainable deal and ensure a prompt return to service. Effective June 30, 2025, all services will be reinstated, allowing us to resume normal operations and ensure timely delivery of your shipments.


DHL Express values the trust you place in us and understands the impact that the temporary service suspension may have had on your business. Our priority remains to effectively support your needs and facilitate your international trade. We are committed to delivering exceptional service for your business.


Thank you for your patience and understanding during this period. Should you have any questions or require assistance, please do not hesitate to contact your local DHL account manager.


Sincerely,



DHL Express
