Quick Poll Results - Will the pending strike by Canada Post workers have a negative effect on your business?

Not a fully scientific poll however you did provide your opinion and here it is:

Yes - 61%
 No -  39%

Seems that Canada Post does remain relevant in today's electronic and digital age. News that a 72 hour lock-out notice was provided earlier this week. Primetime to consider alternative shipping options - our member UPS discount may be of value!
