Here’s the full update on shipping:
Canada Post has been shipping internationally throughout the entire service disruption, but because the labor negotiations are still ongoing and intense, they can abruptly halt operations at any time.
Back in November, when a full strike and shutdown happened, several of our international orders were held by Canada Post until service resumed. To honor our delivery promise, we reshipped those orders right away using other carriers — at our own expense. But, as a small business, that’s a cost we simply can’t absorb again.
On May 23, in response to the risk of another strike, we preemptively disabled international orders and switched to Sendle for shipments within Canada and the US. Unfortunately, Sendle doesn’t offer international delivery, and other carriers charge a minimum of $50 CAD to ship our small envelopes internationally — a cost that’s not reasonable for anyone!
We had hoped to wait until the Canada Post labor dispute was fully resolved before resuming international shipping, but since the process is dragging on with no clear end in sight, we’ve decided to reinstate international shipping, effective immediately.
🍁 What's Happening with Canada Post?
We are now shipping all orders through Canada Post and its international postal partners. Canada Post service is running smoothly overall, so we’re happy to be offering full shipping service again.
⏳ Shipping Times & Current Status
Here’s what’s happening right now with Canada Post:
-
A new contract offer has been presented and a government-led vote is coming — but no vote dates are set yet
-
There is no strike or full-service shutdown
-
A national overtime ban remains in place, which may result in minor delays within Canada, especially at busier times
-
Regular operations are continuing, and shipments are moving well
📤 Shipping to the U.S.
U.S. orders will now ship via Canada Post and USPS.
While ongoing, on-and-off U.S. tariffs do sometimes affect products ordered from Canada, we haven't heard of any Kit Masx customer being charged import fees or tariffs on an order. Fingers crossed it stays that way! 🤞
That said, if you do happen to be charged any fees upon receipt, please let us know — we’d like to be able to advise future customers. (As always, any import fees or taxes are the responsibility of the receiver.)
Shipping costs for U.S. orders remain the same:
-
$12 CAD for orders under $60 CAD
-
Free shipping on orders over $60 CAD
🌍 International Shipping
We’ve now fully re-enabled international shipping to all destinations!
Shipping costs for International orders:
-
$16 CAD for orders under $60 CAD
-
Free shipping on orders over $60 CAD
While some packages may experience occasional delays clearing customs or passing through local postal services, most orders are moving well.
We’re so glad to be shipping around the world again — and offering free shipping once more!
❗ In Case of a Postal Strike
If a strike is called, we will return to using Sendle as our primary carrier for shipments within Canada and the US, and we will be forced to pause international orders once again. We’ll keep you updated if this happens.
As always, if you have any questions about your order or shipping times, just reach out — we’re here to help!
Thanks so much for your support and happy modeling!
