Monitoring
We have been notified by our Purolator representative that their union workers Purolator teamsters have served a 72 hour notice of strike action to Purolator on Sunday, March 26th.

To prevent any unpredictable disruption to your business, we will be blocking Purolator from the carrier options in the Shipwire Platform beginning on Tuesday, March 28th at 4:00 PM PST. The Shipwire Platform will rate and determine the most cost effective carrier to use for shipments that otherwise would have been shipped through Purolator (likely UPS Ground or Canada Post).

If an agreement is reached and Purolator begins accepting shipments again, we will enable Purolator as an option within the Shipwire Platform.
