If you've recently placed an order with us for shipment to Canada, you may have noticed longer-than-expected delivery times. Unfortunately, this is due to ongoing changes within the United States Postal Service (USPS), including a planned workforce reduction that is impacting shipping efficiency.
What’s Happening with USPS?
USPS has announced a planned reduction in its workforce, which is part of a broader effort to streamline operations and cut costs. However, these reductions are already leading to delays in processing and delivering international packages, particularly shipments to Canada. With fewer employees handling the growing volume of packages, shipments are taking longer to clear distribution centers and customs, causing frustrating wait times for our Canadian customers.
How Does This Affect Your Order?
At FreedomCycleParts.com, we pride ourselves on processing and shipping orders as quickly as possible. However, once an order leaves our facility, it is in the hands of USPS and other international carriers. Due to these workforce changes, we’ve seen extended transit times for Canadian shipments, sometimes exceeding the original estimated delivery windows. This is especially noticeable in high-traffic seasons like winter when snowmobile and summer when motocross parts are in high demand.
What Can You Do?
While we are unable to control USPS delays, there are a few things you can do to help ensure the fastest delivery possible:
Order Early: If you need parts or accessories for an upcoming trip or event, plan ahead and place your order well in advance to account for potential delays.
Track Your Shipment: Keep an eye on your tracking number for the latest updates. USPS tracking will show when your package has cleared customs and is moving through the Canadian postal system.
Our Commitment to You
We understand how frustrating shipping delays can be, especially when you’re waiting on essential parts for your ride. We appreciate your patience and continued support as we navigate these changes. If you have any questions about your order or shipping options, don’t hesitate to contact us—we’re here to help!
