Next time I’m waiting until late in the day before I decide which pkg to ship!

That's usually my strategy whenever CP has this promotion — I make my decision in the evening, in the event that there are multiple options to choose from so I can go for what would otherwise be the most costly.

@snoopwiz has a suggestion for all of us who don't have a domestic parcel to ship on Tuesdays.

https://community.ebay.ca/t5/Canada-Town-Square/Free-Canada-Post-October-Shipping-Suggestion-s/m-p/4...

This is a list of women's shelters in the Arctic which need warm clothing and household linens for distribution. Also children's toys for Christmas.

So if all your sales on the 8th are to the USA, build a little karma by using the Free Shipping to help families in need.

Just curious, does the coupon start at EST or PST? If I print a label at 9pm PST, would it work? Just wanted to return a pair of shoes I bought that ended up not fitting lol

It should. From the FAQ section:

"promotion code is effective on specified Tuesdays from midnight to 11:59pm Eastern Time"

https://www.canadapost.ca/cpc/en/business/shipping/free-shipping-tuesday.page

The promo page also has a countdown timer to the next free Tuesday.

...

Something I overlooked before is

"Check back in November for a world-class surprise!"

Well the time zone is what tripped me up last week.

Ready for this week's attempt to send to Nunavut.

The tracking for my donation package shipped Tuesday last week via Xpresspost to a school in Nunavut, indicates the package has arrived and is awaiting pick up

any of you getting this?

Looks like our server is busy
We're experiencing some technical issues at the moment. We apologize for the inconvenience. Try refreshing the page or head back to the homepage.

Also, this page doesn't load for me. https://www.canadapost.ca/dash/en

I have rarely used Snap Ship so I just wanted to double check that I'm doing things right...

I go to this page - https://www.canadapost.ca/cpc/en/business/shipping/find-rates-ship/snap-ship.page?icid=cta_pdn_int_k...

Then click the "Ship Now" button, and I get that "Looks like our server is busy" error. Am I doing this correctly or is the server busy for everyone else?

If I'm not doing it right, could anyone give me a direct link to the postage printing page for putting in that Oct8 code? Thank you in advance!

Just sign into your account at https://www.canadapost.ca/cpc/en/home.page

Sometimes microsoft edge is a bit more reliable for Canpost. It's always really busy first thing.

Tried your link with Chrome and IE, and I still got "Looks like our server is busy"... *sigh*
I have to work tomorrow and I'm not sure if I'd be able to print the label before 9pm tmr 😞

Try the link below ...

1. sigin

2. Look at the top of page and click on Account or My Account …. this takes you to your Dashboard which is where you need to be. They should just name that link Dashboard.

3. Look for the Create new shipment link … it's not at first clear but it is there.

https://sso.epost.ca/sso/lfe/ui/login?stepupId=consumer&sourceApp=EPOST&templateId=cpcapps&manifestI...

I just used the promo around 11am EST … no problems at all.

RE; what time does the promo begin.

Other years I have waited up until 12.01 am EST (Ontario, Quebec) and the promo code was active.

That's where I'm having problem... when I get to the my dashboard page it's blank

And when I try to make a new account instead, I get the server is busy message ;__; I'm even using work computer now so it's not my home computer that's the problem.

femmefan1946 · ‎10-08-2019

It worked this time.

Thanks @ypdc_dennis for clarifying the time zone.

If BC does go to permanent Daylight Savings next year, I am going to be permanently confused.

zee-chan-jpn-books · ‎10-08-2019

Finally it worked... By making a new account. Had to borrow my mom's info for the new account since it recognized that I already own a previous acct.

Super, glad you figured out the problem.

Now that you mentioned it I seem to recall CP revamping their epost/snapship sites last winter or maybe it was farther back in 2018. They combined those 2 into one site which required me to reregister or maybe it was just change userid and password, I forget now. Maybe this is why some infrequent users's accounts don't work?

teenytrinkets · ‎10-09-2019

It's a gamble to wait until later in the day... the server is usually too busy, esp if you're like me and live in BC.

The last two Tuesdays I've done mine at 3am EST. Literally guaranteed success! Everyone's snoozing! 😉
