Despite a nationwide postal strike halting mail delivery across Canada, Canadian Coin News, Canadian Stamp News and CoinStampSupplies.com are ensuring readers and customers continue to receive uninterrupted service.
Starting the week of Sept. 29, print subscribers to both CCN and CSN will receive access to the digital editions of the magazines. While physical copies will not be delivered until Canada Post resumes operations, readers will still be able to access every issue online during the disruption. Print subscribers will receive more details next week. Once the strike ends, all print issues will be mailed as normal.
CoinStampSupplies.com, meanwhile, has already adjusted its shipping model. Since the last mail strike in Fall 2024, the company has relied on courier services to fulfill orders across Canada. In support of our customers during the strike, CoinStampSupplies.com has lowered its Free Shipping threshold to $99 from $150, helping collectors keep their hobby moving forward.
The strike marks the second major postal disruption in less than 10 months, placing additional stress on small businesses across the country. For Canadian collectors, supporting homegrown businesses during this time is vital. Every purchase from advertisers in CCN and CSN helps keep the numismatic and philatelic communities strong while ensuring the marketplace remains resilient despite postal challenges. Just as importantly, we ask collectors to continue supporting all Canadian philatelic and numismatic dealers during the strike, many of whom rely almost entirely on the mail for their business.
The message is clear: while the trucks may be parked, the hobby continues. Readers are encouraged to support CSN, CCN, CoinStampSupplies.com, and the businesses that advertise within their pages as Canada’s collecting community works together to overcome the disruption.
Thank you. It is really appreciated!
The CCN, CSN and CSS Team.
