To my loyal customers
Etsy has deactivated
Canadian sellers ability to purchase shipping labels. Its my only option for affordable shipping and without the steep discounts, shipping will become unaffordable for my lower priced items. I'm not sure if I will just change my shipping amounts or put the shop on vacation until this silliness ends. It is all about tariffs. Even though Mr Trump rescinded the tariffs, Etsy has 4 countries unable to use their country's postal service through Etsy. Is it to force us to use other options if available and break our postal services? Not sure but it feels like it. I can continue to ship through our post office and most likely will but I wanted to give a heads up that shipping costs are going to be adjusted. Lettermail within Canada including oversize will not change, nor will bulk orders but outside of Canada might go up so please check the shipping before ordering so there are no surprises at check out. I'm sorry. Its Etsy and the US that are causing this. Let's hope it gets sorted out soon.
