We have been asked several times when will our "Free Shipping" options be available again? As most of you know, Canada Post is in contract negotiations with their largest union. The negotiations are ongoing. Since no contract is in place, the possibility of a walkout is always pending. So as a result we cannot count on Canada Post not to walkout leaving our shipments in limbo, so we have elected to use FedEx as our primary delivery service. As a private courier company FedEx is considerably more expensive and Granville Island Tea has been absorbing some of the shipping costs already. Since we are already paying more for shipping we have far less options to offer "Free shipping" options. So, until Canada Post resolves their dispute, we will not be able to offer any Free Shipping options. Once Canada Post settles their disputes and provides us with a new shipping cost structure, we will once again offer a Free Shipping option. We apologize for the confusion and sincerely thank all our customers for their patience and understanding.
