As negotiations between Canada Post and the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) remain unresolved, a nationwide postal strike could begin as early as May 22, 2025. This looming disruption, combined with recent issues in Canada Post’s tracking systems, is raising serious concerns for individuals and businesses who rely on consistent and timely international shipping—especially to destinations like Grenada and other Caribbean nations.
In this uncertain environment, PJP Exporting is taking proactive steps to ensure that shipments to the Caribbean continue uninterrupted, offering reliable alternatives and peace of mind.
Canada Post’s Current Challenges
Canada Post is at a critical juncture. Ongoing labor negotiations have reached a tense phase, and if a resolution isn’t reached soon, a strike could shut down mail and parcel services nationwide. The dispute focuses on key union demands including wage increases, job security protections, and improved working conditions.
To make matters worse, Canada Post’s parcel tracking infrastructure has recently experienced technical failures, leaving customers without updates on their packages and shipments. These outages only add to the uncertainty for anyone relying on Canada Post for time-sensitive deliveries.
How Caribbean Shipments Will Be Affected
The Caribbean shipping lane is already vulnerable due to its reliance on limited transit routes and customs schedules. A Canada Post strike or tracking outage will likely cause:
Delays or suspension of parcel delivery to destinations like Grenada, Trinidad, Jamaica, and Barbados
Lack of reliable tracking for outgoing international shipments
Customs delays due to missing or late-arriving documentation
Lost or unprocessed parcels sitting idle in distribution centers
This presents significant challenges for families sending barrels, individuals moving household items, and small businesses fulfilling orders to the Caribbean.
How PJP Exporting Solves the Problem
Unlike businesses that rely on Canada Post, PJP Exporting operates independently from national postal services. We’ve built a logistics model that remains stable even during nationwide disruptions. Here’s how we ensure your shipments to Grenada and the Caribbean stay on track:
Independent of Canada Post
PJP Exporting does not rely on Canada Post for freight delivery. Instead, we work directly with private shipping lines, freight forwarders, and air cargo carriers to ensure reliable and uninterrupted transit. This means our service continues even if postal operations come to a halt.
Weekly Shipping to the Caribbean
We maintain regular container shipping schedules to Grenada and other Caribbean destinations. Our weekly departures ensure that shipments remain on track and are not affected by domestic disruptions within Canada.
Reliable Tracking Outside the Postal Network
PJP Exporting provides its own tracking systems through third-party logistics platforms. Customers receive accurate and timely updates on the status of their shipments, without being affected by Canada Post’s system outages.
Complete Customs Support
Shipping internationally involves complex customs documentation. A postal strike can interfere with paperwork handling and submission timelines. PJP Exporting ensures that customs documentation is prepared, submitted, and cleared on time to avoid clearance delays at Caribbean ports.
Customer Support That Stays Accessible
While Canada Post clients may face long wait times or limited access to information during a strike, PJP Exporting continues to offer responsive, hands-on customer service. Our team is available to answer questions, provide tracking updates, and guide customers through any special shipping circumstances.
Tailored Services for All Shipment Sizes
We specialize in barrel shipping to Grenada but also handle a wide range of cargo including boxes, household goods, personal items, commercial shipments, and small parcels. Whether you’re sending a single package or coordinating multiple containers, our team can tailor the shipping process to your needs.
