Canada Post on Strike: Service Continuity Updates

The Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) has announced a national strike. Customers should expect service delays from November 15, 2024.

To avoid shipping delays for your packages, parcel and courier items during the holiday season, we recommend using PitneyShip Pro to access multiple carriers like UPS and FedEx.

During the ongoing strike at Canada Post, you can continue to manage your accounts, request paperless statements, and view and pay your Pitney Bowes bills and statements through Your Account without any disruptions on our end. If you require further information, please use our online tools and resources.

All mail and parcels in the postal network will be secured and delivered as quickly as possible on a first-in, first-out basis once operations resume. Please visit www.canadapost.ca for strike and service updates.

Pitney Bowes is hopeful for a swift resolution to this postal service interruption.
