the only good thing about this strike
Summary: dobo5250 expresses frustration with the impact of cheap Chinese imports on Canadian sellers via low shipping rates afforded by a government agreement and feels slightly relieved that these sellers are facing difficulties due to a strike impacting postal services. ypdc_dennis counters this by stating that their shipments from China are handled by UniUni rather than Canada Post. recped supports this by explaining that companies like Temu or Shein use different logistics solutions, such as contract cargo flights and carriers like UniUni, for the majority of their shipments, utilizing Canada Post mainly for rural areas.
the only good thing about this strike is that the cheap china imports that flood ebay and cause havick with legit sellers of goods due to their cheap shipping rates afforded by the canadian gov't peace aggreement with the china gov't years and years ago that allows them to ship things at ridiculs low rates by canada post that we as canadian's don't get --- is now put on hold also and they are losing more sales proportionitly then we are are just see the the china and fake canadian sellers who are really china sellers -- they are hurting -- we may be also hurting and having to lose money to u.p.s. fedex/ can par s etc etc at inflated rates for the strike but i feel good that the pain is going back to them the china sellers for abusing our good will back in the day when they really needed it but now are dominating the market throught this use of our canadian postal system- --- there i feel better now haing said that --- have a great day and hang on the little will come back soon or later --- -----i hope

·1 year agoCan't agree with your Canada Post claim. My last shipment from China had UniUni for the final mile.

@dobo5250
Sites like Temu or Shein don't use the postal system at all to get their product from China to North America, they are using contract cargo flights. They do use Canada Post for last mile once the goods arrive in Canada but only for the usual rural/remote locations. For the majority of their Canadian orders they are using carriers like UniUni and more recently for Toronto they have been using Raven Force or Apple Express.
