Canada Post Strike
We have received confirmation from our shipping partner that the Canada Post Strike has concluded and parcels are starting to make their way through customs and into the hands of Canada Post. Please note that due to the backlog of parcels, it may still take several weeks for Canada Post to resume service as usual and boxes may still take up to 6-8 weeks to reach their final destinations.

For more information about the Canada Post Strike, please click here.


Companies globally are regularly faced with shipping restrictions, processing delays, service disruptions, and issues with transit. For the most up to date information from USPS about international service disruptions to see if your country is affected when your parcel is departing from our US Warehouse, please click here.

US Shipping Updates

We wanted to address some of the shipping delays currently affecting our boxes. USPS has been overwhelmed with packages in the last two years and many packages are arriving late. We've also been made aware that tracking information may update sporadically or not at all but packages are still arriving. This is an issue nationwide and all businesses are affected.

*Note that Shop Orders may vary in the amount of time taken to ship due to sales, holidays, or other circumstances. Our team always does its best to ship within the 3 business day window for US orders.
