It's about 74km round trip to the powder coating shop and back home. My truck burns 17-18 liters per 100km. Fuel and wear costs more than the coating itself even on a regular job but they are the closest shop. It's not their fault that I live in the bush and plan to keep it that way.lol

I think the three have happened. Damage to box-fix, more damage to box-fix, leaky argon bottle-fix. Hopefully that's it for a while. If the postal service strikes there will be another damage though that I cannot fix and that is going to hurt me badly. Fingers crossed something gets worked out because many small businesses like myself are reliant on them to do their job. Couriers are just too expensive for a lot of items.

I hear ya on the strike hopefully they work it out, not like a couple years ago...I could imagine how much of a pain in the arse it would be for you having to drive further out just to ship a parcel.

The distance is a factor for sure but cost of shipping is my biggest concern. I have a fellow in Norway that wants a set of walking beams. Canada post looks to be around $20 for shipping. Thinking they might strike I checked with UPS for a quote. $121 to send a padded envelope! DHL was $93 for the same! No one is going to pay that which leaves me not being able to sell an item that many people want! Crazy! Maybe it's just me but I don't think the postal service should be able to strike 100%. That's just from a personal standpoint let alone how much my business might suffer... I guess I've always been self employed and never a fan of union power...

Wow your aren't kidding big difference in shipping quotes! Was working for the brown when they went on strike couple years ago...man was I flooded with work. Crazy how many pickups were added to my run during that period!

I have a double stiff NOW Cheers everybody out there Tomorrow is an other day

P.S. I sent you a Mail Reg.

I got an email from SaskTel "Canada Post might strike July 1st, we might not be able to mail out your paper bill on appropriate date, but we expect you to make your payments on time. Here's a list of other options for you to make your payments...."

Signed a flaxseed contract with a China company in February for May/June delivery... well they waited right till the last week for pick up & railcars were loaded couple days ago... now I'm wondering what my options are for getting paid & when?

That sucks Joe! We should be able to send Canada Post a bill for all the extra pain in azz they are causing for everyone. Now they are saying that they won't strike before Tuesday because they have to give 72hrs notice. In the same story they said that the last time they went on strike they gave no notice at all even though they were supposed to. WTF I am supposed to do with these orders I have to ship out? Stick them in the mail and then have them strike, or not mail them and then they keep threatening but don't. Either way people aren't getting their parts from me in a timely fashion and I'm stressing about it.lol I just wish that they would make up their @#$king minds....
