Important Update from PrecisionFPV about the ongoing Canada Post labour dispute

Canada Post Strike: How PrecisionFPV is Adjusting Shipping with Alternative Carriers

As many of you may have already heard, Canada Post workers are currently on strike, causing significant delays and disruptions in mail services across the country. For our customers at PrecisionFPV, we want to keep you informed about how this might affect your orders and what we are doing to ensure that you still receive your products in a timely manner.

What Does This Mean for You?

At PrecisionFPV, we strive to provide the best possible service to our customers, and we understand that timely delivery is crucial, especially for drone enthusiasts who rely on getting their parts and gear without unnecessary delays. With the ongoing strike, Canada Post is experiencing significant backlogs and slower-than-usual service. While we are closely monitoring the situation, we want to be proactive and let you know that we are exploring alternative shipping options to ensure that your orders are delivered as quickly as possible.

Alternative Shipping Carriers

In light of the strike, we are shifting our focus to other reliable shipping carriers such as UPS, FedEx, and Purolator for Canadian domestic shipments, as well as international orders. These carriers offer excellent tracking and delivery services, and we will be using them to fulfill your orders until Canada Post services are fully restored.

Potential Impact on Shipping Costs

While we are committed to minimizing disruptions, it's important to note that shipping fees through these alternative carriers may be higher than the standard Canada Post rates we typically offer. These price differences are due to factors such as fuel surcharges, delivery area fees, and the general increase in shipping costs from these carriers. We understand this may cause some inconvenience, but we want to ensure that your orders still arrive safely and on time.

Please note: We will continue to offer multiple shipping options during checkout, and you will be able to see the available carriers and associated costs for each.

What You Can Expect

  • Faster Deliveries: While Canada Post is experiencing delays, UPS, FedEx, and Purolator typically have faster delivery times, especially for expedited services.
  • Tracking: All orders shipped through alternative carriers will include full tracking, so you can stay updated on your order’s progress.
  • Higher Shipping Fees: As mentioned, using alternative carriers may result in higher shipping fees compared to Canada Post’s standard rates, but we believe it's worth the extra cost to get your orders to you without unnecessary delays.

We Appreciate Your Understanding

We know that any change in shipping can be frustrating, especially when it involves unexpected costs. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we navigate this situation. Please rest assured that we are doing everything we can to continue providing the same level of excellent service you’ve come to expect from PrecisionFPV.

As always, our customer service team is available to answer any questions you may have about your order or shipping options. You can reach us via email, phone, or live chat on our website.

Thank you for your continued support, and we hope this situation is resolved soon so we can return to our regular shipping methods. Stay tuned to our website and social media channels for any further updates regarding the Canada Post strike.

Happy flying,
The PrecisionFPV Team
