Canada Post is facing challenges due to labor disruptions and ongoing contract negotiations, leading shippers to increasingly turn to private carriers like FedEx, UPS, Purolator, and DHL despite higher fees and service limitations. With parcel volumes down 65% from last year, companies are diversifying their shipping options to mitigate potential delays, often opting for multiple carriers. While private carriers have adjusted their pricing and operations to handle the increased demand, some businesses still prefer Canada Post for its comprehensive coverage, highlighting the complexities of transitioning to alternative delivery solutions.
