Urgent: Canada Post strike action
Summary: seller_news_team notifica sobre la intención del Sindicato Canadiense de Trabajadores del Correo de iniciar una huelga que podría afectar los servicios de entrega de Canada Post a partir del 15 de noviembre. A pesar del potencial impacto en las operaciones de los vendedores de eBay en Canadá, los listados activos seguirán disponibles para los compradores. Se recomienda a los vendedores extender el tiempo de manejo, considerar opciones de envío alternativas como UPS o FedEx, ofrecer recogida local y comunicarse con los compradores sobre posibles cancelaciones. eBay ajustará fechas estimadas de entrega y condiciones de garantía para evitar penalizaciones en entregas tardías debidas a la huelga, y sugiere consultar el sitio web de Canada Post y la página de anuncios de eBay para actualizaciones.
As you are likely aware, the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) has issued notice of its intention to disrupt normal Canada Post delivery services with strike actions. If the parties do not come to an agreement this week, the strike is expected to begin on Friday, November 15.
This labour action may affect the flow of shipments within Canada and impact the operations of Canadian eBay sellers. However, eBay remains open for business, and we suggest you do, too. All active listings remain unchanged and buyers can still view and purchase your eBay listings as before.
To minimize the impact of these strike actions on your business and customers, we recommend the following:
- Keep your listings active. To help manage expectations, consider extending your handling time.
- Consider adding an alternative shipping option to your listings. Note that UPS and FedEx services are still available on eBay Labels.
- Offer local pick-up for buyers in your area.
- Communicate proactively with buyers and accommodate those buyers who may wish to cancel orders that have not yet shipped.
- Keep an eye on the community boards where we'll provide updates during the strike.
eBay is working to monitor and adjust estimated delivery dates and eBay Money Back Guarantee timelines to ensure that you are not penalized for late shipments due to the labour disruption. A reminder that, regardless of the shipping service offered, sellers will not be penalized if they ship with an eBay shipping partner offering equivalent or faster estimated delivery dates.
You can monitor updates on the strike actions on the Canada Post website. Keep reviewing eBay’s announcement page for more information and, as always, thank you for selling on eBay.
