    Nice I have 2 to be delivered. Would be a nice surprise to get before Christmas. I do expect Canada Post to charge duty on everything coming in now to make up on lost revenue.
    I think it's the CBSA that reviews for duty, not Canada Post.  Canada post just collects it.  I'm guessing they've got a pretty big backlog and customs will be overwhelmed.  I predict the opposite and they'll let a bunch of stuff slide.
    I'm super stoked, tracking updated today, CBSA released it to Canada Post.  Usually in normal circumstances it would take a day or two to get here from Richmond, but give the backlog, maybe it'll get here before Christmas :)

    I should note, I was wrong and mretzooc was right.  I'll owe just over $33 in taxes/brokerage :)
      
    I think you got something, extra. Few friends in Ontario & Quebec have fees of $23 dollars on their mystery pages. One of mine was $26.

    So the posties started back today and the wife said the mailman delivered mail to neighbours on both sides of us and to the people across the street and we got nothing. Hard to believe in the 5 weeks I didn’t receive any mail 😂 
    I can honestly say if it wasn't for the mystery bags I'd not have noticed this strike at all...benefits of living in the city I guess....glad the rural communities will get their meds, cheques, gifts and mystery bags now!

    Any new realizations... would have to wait...

    My UPS tracking has been stuck on 11/12/2024, departed international facility. Does that mean that it’s somewhere in Canada and it hasn’t been scanned in?

    I don't think so.  On mine, the UPS tracking eventually showed the USPS tracking number which I could use on the Canada Post Website.   There  was an entry on Nov 14 that it arrived in Canada and was being submitted to Canada Customs for review.

    I think mine just crossed the border when the strike started.  I wonder if yours is in a USPS warehouse in the US where it got stashed waiting for Canada to accept international packages again.

    Maybe! The strike did start on the 15th. High possibility that your theory is the accurate.

    i checked the alternate Tracking number and USPS has the package in California.. I’m thinking I’ll get the box in February.

     International mail and parcels

    • Canada Post will work to process a significant accumulation of international mail and parcels currently queued up to enter the postal system.
    • Customers should expect delays into 2025.
    • The postal system will start accepting new international mail on December 23.

    I joked to friends that the only thing I noticed was my recycling was way down. Didn’t affect me at all, save for the mystery bags.

    Most likely from Customs agents processing them under different categories which all incur different levels of duty.

    I guess, but most of the time we don't pay duty, we pay our provincial/federal/harmonized sales tax? I think they charge $15 to calculate the tax, so it means I paid about $13 in tax.  Tax rate in bc is 7 percent PST and 5% GST, and I paid $18 in tax, the package must be valued around 150 cad?

    No disrespect to em cuz they’re incredibly busy, but they screw up constantly and charge duty where it shouldn’t be charged. All stems from incorrectly coding the package to a category that incurs duty which it doesn’t necessarily belong to.
