My shops, beadinggem (supplies) and CraftaGems will remain open for all American AND Canadian orders during this crucial holiday shopping season. However, Canadian shoppers are now impacted with the Canada Postal workers strike. Snail mail within Canada has been halted.

I have therefore switched to ChitChats for Canadian orders for the first time. I have been using ChitChats successfully for US orders for a number of years and this will continue.  

Unfortunately, the Canadian shipping fee will have to go up for my shops at least for the duration of the strike. What should help is the fee is flat rate.  Let's hope the strike will be resolved soon.

There are exceptions to the ChitChats service for Canadian shoppers at this time. This will not work for PO Box, rural and remote addresses. So I shall be communicating with buyers in those locations about options like extended processing and shipping times until such a time the mail starts moving again. Or, if preferred, refunding their orders.

Are you a Canadian vendor and want to know more about ChitChats?  See this past review post of mine. The ChitChats Kitchener location has changed to a drop off location with Intelcom/Dragonfly very close to their original outlet.
