I’ve spent the last day or so trying to get alternate shipping set up on the site, but it’s not going well. It needs an update to the software, but the update is breaking the site functionality. I’m working on fixing the problem, but my skills are limited and I may need to bring in a developer.
In the meantime, I’ve read that the Federal government is prepared to discuss legislation that would force the workers back to work. This discussion may take place as early as Monday of next week, which would have the mail going again possibly as soon as Tuesday next week.
If that happens I don’t want to spend hours and dollars fixing something that won’t be broke come Tuesday. So, I’ve decided to wait it out until then to see if normal shipping resumes. If not then I’ll get someone in to get the site up to speed for the new shippers.
I’m sorry for the interruption in business, but having looked at all the options I think this is the best short-term solution.
Patterns will be available to view and all versions for computerized systems are available as usual.
Shipments that did not clear Canada or are destined for delivery within Canada will be delayed due to the labour dispute.
