They're doing it again!
CanPost on strike again!

Sept. 26

Just when we thought we had things back to normal with the US Customs issues (cumbersome, but manageable) Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) doesn't like the Governments "fix" for Canada Post's problems (read it here) and launches another strike.

Mail in, into and out of Canada is halted. We have no idea how long this one will last, but suspect it will be short, as this strike is effectively against Government policy now, not just Canada Post.

Our 20% off sale is still on. We will hold any orders until this is over and ship promptly as soon as things open up again.

Thanks for your patience.

News
20% off sale and update on US tariffs
Sept. 12, 2025

We have solved the issues with the new US customs declaration rules. The good news is that all of our shipments to the USA are free of duty and tariffs. The bad news (only for us) is that the changes in the required customs declaration will cause a great deal more work on our end when preparing shipments. There will also be some shipments where we can't use our usual array of colorful stamps on the package. (Sorry about that! It's complicated, but if you really want to know the nitty-gritty details, write to Roy).

We had to reprogram our site to provide a "Country of Origin" for all 80,000 covers. We're still working on the last 15,000. You may notice some of your favorite categories in BuckaCover temporarily missing -- the ones where there are a bunch of different countries grouped together, especially topical categories. We're working on it - they will be back soon.

Because we may not be able to use stamps on all parcels, we have had to slightly increase our US shipping fee. It will now be a flat rate of $5 for all shipments up to $75 (up from $3 for $25-$75 shipments). If you will really miss the used stamps on the parcel, let us know in the comments box of your order and we will include a free packet of used Canadian commemoratives (already soaked!)

Please enjoy our 20% off sale while we prepare our next upload!
