With negotiations between Canada Post and the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) reaching a pivotal stage, FreightWaves reporter Eric Kulisch explored how the evolving labor situation is shaping cross-border shipping strategies and market dynamics.
In the article, “Is Canada Post Too Big to Fail?”, ePost Global’s Vice President of Product Development, Alison Layfield, offers perspective on how U.S. e-commerce brands are preparing for potential outcomes, including seasonal shipping disruptions and delivery adjustments. She notes that many shippers are proactively adopting multi-carrier strategies to maintain continuity and mitigate uncertainty – particularly ahead of the busy holiday season.
Alison also calls attention to the underutilization of Canada Post’s high-tech Albert Jackson parcel facility and stresses that regaining shippers’ trust will depend on improved transit consistency and long-term reform. Her insights reinforce the broader shift underway in modern cross-border trade, bulk shipping, and compliance with complex international regulations.
As always, ePost Global remains committed to helping brands adapt with agility and clarity.
