Happy Easter Long Weekend - POSTAL DELAYS

Posted by Shelley on 17th Apr 2025

Hey Friends!
Tomorrow is Good Friday which is a Stat holiday, which will create a huge backlog of USA shipping next week.
We always see delays after a long weekend.

I know our regulars get it and understand how we ship - but I will get at LEAST 10 angry emails next week because USPS hasn't scanned a package I marked shipped.
A reminder that USPS in Sweet Grass Montana who processes our packages is TINY.  Sweet grass population is 65 people!! ONLY 65!!!  Our DYKPOST truck can have THOUSANDS of packages a day, and they deliver 6 days a week!  So that's a huge work load for this tiny post office.  We have NO CONTROL of shipping once I ship our courier box to Edmonton.  Everyone is doing their best, and I can't do anything about a package once it leaves me. 

We are seeing some weird delays in scanning of our packages, and we have no answers to why. I am assuming that the Tariff issues with USA incoming China packages are creating delays.  So far our packages are NOT affected by tariffs, and hopefully they won't be!  But please show us some patience and understanding.

The more time I have to spend responding to emails, the less shipping and work I am doing... So let me get your packages out the door instead!!

I hope you ALL HAVE A WONDERFUL LONG WEEKEND!  Enjoy all the yummy chocolate!
