A large-scale Canada Post strike is causing significant delays in the delivery of millions of parcels, leaving businesses and consumers frustrated as they prepare for the busy Black Friday shopping season. Reports indicate that up to 10 million parcels have been left undelivered, disrupting not only holiday shopping but also the logistics of e-commerce companies and retail businesses across Canada.
The strike, which is part of ongoing labor negotiations, has intensified just as Canadians are gearing up for the crucial shopping period. Black Friday, known for its deep discounts, sees a surge in online orders, and the delay in parcel delivery is expected to have a major financial impact on both consumers and businesses. While many parcels are stuck in transit, some are being rerouted or delayed as Canada Post negotiates with unionized workers.
The strike has also caused challenges for online retailers, who depend on timely deliveries for customer satisfaction and sales volume. Some companies have resorted to alternative shipping methods to meet demand, but the overall scale of the disruption continues to create uncertainty.
The strike and its effects are expected to persist until an agreement is reached between Canada Post and the union. As Canadians await a resolution, they are left grappling with the uncertainty of parcel deliveries as Black Friday approaches​
