Weeden Steam Mail Suspension

Unfortunately I have had to suspend sales as Canada Post workers may be on strike as of May 22nd. Should this happen any shipments still in the hands of Canada Post will be held in a warehouse until the strike is settled.

This will be of no benefit to you as a customer since you will not have the product and there is always the possibility that some of you will wish to have a refund, which is reasonable under the circumstances. In that case I will be left with unpaid product held by Canada post and then eventually delivered to the customer causing potential problems for both of us.

There are alternatives for delivery, however most are much more expensive than shipping through the post office.

During the last strike I used a service to addresses outside Canada that sold me US postage, I dropped the goods at a depot and they transported them across the border and dropped them off at a US post office for delivery.

Meanwhile times have changed, the US border is more strict than before and every parcel has to have documentation that is acceptable to the custom agents. Just one parcel without what they deem as proper documentation means the truck with the parcels is denied entry and has to return to Canada. Should one of my parcels not pass judgement there is a fine of $1000 because the truck was turned back.

All I can add is that I am sorry due to this double whammy that I have had to take this action.
