Canada Post Alternative
Our average sale is under $20, and we use Canada Post for delivery. With the strike, we have not been able to find an alternative for shipping our orders and have placed ourselves on vacation mode. At the moment, it would cost us about $9 to ship a $15 order, which makes it impossible to turn a profit. Does anyone know of a cheap alternative to Canada Post? Suggestions would be most appreciated.

Try using Uniuni. Its relatively cheaper but it has some location restrictions.

I do not know of a cheaper alternative, but I have just upped my shipping charge to cover the cost of using a courier. If a buyer thinks it's too high, they won't order. But it won't be any less orders than being on vacation mode. I have had about six Canadian orders since doing this, about half the usual, but better than nothing.
I have seen posts here with folks using UniUni being told they are not integrated, though they are on the list of drop down options.

Hey @Seller_609MLJnfE8Oeq
Try reaching out to Stallion Express (just google them - they'll pop up)
They have contracts with all these low cost Amazon approved alternatives for Canada Post - and you may even find you'll switch to using them permanently due to their low cost nature
They have Amazon API integration to import all your orders in and process them on platform
We use them for all our shipments
Hey - we hope this helps!
