Holiday Shipping Update: What You Need to Know
The holiday season is in full swing, and we know just how important it is that your orders arrive on time—whether you're choosing the perfect handcrafted gift for a loved one or a new timeless addition for your home.
With the recent Canada Post strike now over, they’re working hard to clear their significant backlog of deliveries. While we’re thrilled to see them back in action, we also know that getting back to normal operations will take time. To make sure your packages arrive quickly, reliably, and without added stress, we’ll be continuing to ship with trusted carriers like UPS, FedEx, and Purolator for the remainder of the holiday season and into 2025.
Why the Change?
Canada Post’s network will be handling a massive influx of packages now that operations have resumed. That, combined with the already high holiday shipping volume, means delays are still likely across their network for the next little while. We’re committed to keeping your experience with T. Weatherhead & Co. as smooth and seamless as possible. By using alternative carriers, we can ensure your handcrafted items arrive on time and in perfect condition—just as they should.
What About International Orders?
For our wonderful customers outside of North America, we’re still working diligently to find the most affordable and reliable shipping solutions. We understand that international shipping can be costly, and we're determined to provide you with options that balance value and reliability.
In the meantime, if nothing else, we anticipate returning to Canada Post for international orders once their backlog has cleared. Canada Post has long been a go-to option for more cost-effective shipping to destinations around the globe, and we hope to utilize their services again as soon as operations normalize.
Our Commitment to You
At T. Weatherhead & Co., we know that every order represents more than just a package—it’s a special purchase, a meaningful gift, or an addition to your home that’s been thoughtfully chosen. That’s why we’re prioritizing shipping options that offer reliability, tracking, and peace of mind this holiday season.
We’ll continue to keep you updated as we move into the new year. Your understanding, support, and trust mean the world to us as we navigate these busy times.
If you have any questions about shipping times, carriers, or anything else, don’t hesitate to reach out. We’re always happy to help.
Thank you for choosing T. Weatherhead & Co. for your holiday season—and beyond!
