When Canada Post goes on strike, businesses across Nova Scotia face the same challenge: How do we keep our deliveries moving? For eCommerce stores, retailers, and local businesses, delayed parcels can mean lost sales, frustrated customers, and disrupted operations.
But the good news is that you don’t have to pause your business just because Canada Post has. Get It Picked is here as a fast, affordable, and reliable alternative courier service for Nova Scotia businesses.
Why Businesses in Nova Scotia Need an Alternative During the Strike
The Canada Post strike has disrupted pickups, deliveries, and parcel tracking nationwide. In Halifax and across the province, businesses that rely on steady shipping suddenly find themselves scrambling for options.
Customers expect quick and reliable delivery — especially in today’s eCommerce world. If you can’t ship on time, they’ll turn to competitors who can. That’s why having a local courier alternative isn’t just convenient — it’s essential.
