Canada Post Strike - Sep 26, 2025.
On September 26, 2025, Canada Post employees announced a strike which will significantly impact Canada Post services. Canada Post says that no new mail will be accepted until the strike is resolved.
What that means for Vintage Ice Hockey Canada customers is that our ability to ship your orders is extremely impaired. We rely heavily on Canada Post's lettermail service to ship orders of single t-shirts. For example, a single t-shirt shipping via lettermail costs us $7 to ship versus $15 or more with a package service, which is simply not feasible without significantly raising our prices, something we do not intend to do.
Our printing partners use Canada Post to ship most, if not all, of our orders and our ability to serve you during this strike is impacted. We will be working with our printing partners to find alternative means to ship orders that have already been placed prior to September 26th that have not yet left their facilities. Many orders placed prior to September 26th are already in Canada Post's system and there is no way to retrieve or redirect them until the strike is over.
For any new orders placed from Friday September 26, we will be working to route these orders to other carriers such as ICS, UPS, and Purolator. You will receive an automated email with tracking when the items ship.
