How sad the postal service going on strike.

what about another shipping option, Fed X , or UPS. Who ever has your name would need to ship the same way, But I would think it is possible.

I am sure others who live in Canada will have some answers.
I hope you will not have to sit this one out.

I know Lori contacted all those who hadn't sent their packages and my SP said it was mailed, I should get it in 5 - 10 days but I think I'll just sit on the bench with others who are out there so it's not so lonely waiting for my package.

How are other Canadians handling this?

I also want to join the swap for June ... I decided last minute last night that I would join and have put my name in and then I have been thinking ever since that maybe I should take my name out... I would also hate to think that we would go on strike and someone would be waiting for their package ... I am still unsure of what to do ...

That would be great except that I don't think there are that many Canadians on this swap and some of us sent to Canadians in May. What to do, what to do!
