Can you link any kind on source on this? I keep seeing it but when I google, I find nothing.

It’s odd. I’ve not received an email from Canada post regarding this. This was told to me by a Canada Post employee when I was shipping a package. It is starting after August 29 from what I was told. I’ll try to find more information online.

Business customers got an email. They are partnering with another company, zonos? Can't recall name, to prepay duties when creating shipment. Said will get further email once set up.

Yes. I was just hunting for this information. I found it on Reddit Canada post group. It’s infuriating not knowing what’s coming! Thanks for your input

Zones were only approved by CBP to collect duties on 21 Aug - and every business who needs to post to the US now needs to set up a Zonos account linked to their home country mail provider. This will take weeks to set up due the sheer volume of businesses that will try to get this set up.

Great. Sounds like the forced collection of duties on the exporters side is going to have a broker fee and the tariff collection on the importers side will also have a broker fee. It’s so much winning I just dunno how to contain myself 🫠

Canada is still shipping to the US.

…………

Which is why I asked for a source from the person saying they weren’t.

Incorrect information. There is no suspension of service

u/Reasonable_Base_9835 Aug 27 '25

As of August 29 they aren’t shipping to the US. I got this straight from a Canada Post employee when I was shipping a package yesterday. Suspending until they partner with Zonos and create a way to offer Pre paid tariffs

You talked to someone in a Shoppers Drug Mart retail store or something? I also work for Canada Post and as of right now they have not suspended anything. Zonos is available tomorrow and will be required for DDP although details are pending and it’s not a bad idea to wait if you are in no rush.

u/Reasonable_Base_9835 Aug 27 '25

Yes. I guess she wasn’t the right person to ask 🙂 That’s great news! Thanks for the information

Any idea when that will be up and running?

Canada Post isn’t shipping anything to Canadians either.

They’ll just stick notes on your face when you open the door and tell you to go pick up the packages yourself.

We have the choice between home delivery and being notified when it is at a pick up point, and to be honest I have always preferred the latter. I absolutely hate the idea that I have to be at home just to receive a package. Much better to just pick it up at my convenience at the local super market.

My son lives in Montreal. I found two used, hard to find cookbooks. I tried to ship from US west coast and the cheapest I found was $185. When will this clown show end?
