Sales have picked up - but shipping is a zoo! | Selling

I sent out a bunch of offers last night (where I did tell buyers I lived in Canada and shipped from Niagara), and got quite a few takers! My package from Monday that was shipped out and showing in transit is back in Mississauga under "processing". Seems it was turned back, or perhaps never left... My Wednesday packages are all showing "processing". The folks at Stallion when you drop off packages either don't know what's going on, or have been instructed not to share with customers (either way I don't get to find out from them). I have 11 orders to ship out that were going to go tomorrow, but I notified everyone today of the delay. I don't want to ship new packages until I know that everything is OK with yesterday's packages (yesterday's has the HTS code and country of origin declared on the portal). I'm waiting to see what happens to Wednesday's packages before contacting any customers. There's only a few eBay customers from Wednesday, things were pretty quiet earlier in the week. I will say one thing... when tariffs were delayed, I was thinking perhaps it was foolish to spend money and time driving to Mississauga, but I'm so glad I did! Those packages have been delivered, and customers on Thursday and Friday would not have patience for this week's shipping drama if I delayed on shipping their stuff and then had problems. C.
