Canada Post USPS tariff disagreement - what's the status - China Packages still RETURNING? Resolved?
Summary: itolduandso raises a concern about issues with shipping packages from Canada to the U.S. using Canada Post USA Tracked service for items made in China. They mention that shipments are being returned due to a disagreement between Canada Post and USPS on tariff collection, leading to delays and packages being returned after long periods. Canada Post reportedly delayed delivering some USPS shipments originating from Ontario due to confusion over tariff collection responsibilities and other logistical challenges. itolduandso is especially frustrated with returned packages and pending refunds for non-deliveries. marnotom! suggests following a discussion thread on the issue for more information.
Stallion Express and Chitchats have been discouraging shipments to the US by using Canada Post USA Tracked for items Made in China. Chitchats has even disabled the service (not sure if still disabled or not).
I am not even concerned with packages getting stuck at the customs for 1-2 weeks. That's fine. But I had packages returned because the delivery was cancelled by Canada Post. They came back afer 6 or more weeks being in limbo.
So I wonder if anybody still experiencing Returns of those US bound packages.
And I am not even talking about returns if US buyer refuses to accept. No, I mean returns because USPS refuses to accept the package from Canada Post at the border.
Here is GPT summary about the situation:
Canada Post is currently experiencing delivery delays for some USPS shipments originating from Ontario, particularly Tracked Packet USA and Expedited Parcel USA, due to confusion over tariff collection responsibilities between Canada Post and USPS. Additionally, ongoing disruptions from unprecedented parcel volumes, safety protocols, and reduced international flights are affecting deliveries across the board.
These were called "delays". In reality there was (is) a major disruption on Ontario border to US.
So I wonder if there are people who have still have new fresh cases of packages returning to you.
Mine returned last week as well. So I don't know what is going on. Apparently they couldn't agree who is collecting tariffs, then another source says, USPS wasn't setup to collect them.
Delaying packages is an issue, but having them returned after several weeks is a different problem completely.
Not to mention I still need to follow up on refunds, Canada Post drawing their feet in giving refunds for those non-deliveries. Terrible.
