This is what I see:

It's a PO Box, and UPS is $27, I want to do expedited lite. I don't ship every day, so if I can't buy a label tonight it won't get shipped until Friday.

Should be a warning at top of label order page now indicating Canada Post is having issues.

There is, I didn't capture it in the screen shot because I had to scroll down to see the items are unavailable.

I messaged my one buyer whose shipment I want to track ($12 to Saskatchewan), it was for $100, so I'd like to track it.

Same for me. I messaged my buyers that I can't ship their orders for now. Hope this resolves soon..

I had a buyer with a PO box and CP shipping was double. I managed to buy shipping through Chit Chats and still I lost money on the shipping that the customer paid. Shipping to a PO Box is way more expensive.

I’m guessing that this PO Box is located in a rural or remote location.

You can turn off PO boxes, although I had one buyer that managed to get around it. Thankfully I realized before purchasing a label with UPS. Definitely cost me a bit more all the same.

That blocks out a lot of people who live in rural communities or small towns. My partner lives in a small town and he has a PO box at the post office because they don't do house delivery there. eBay will block the buyer from paying if their address has a PO box (and you have it blocked).

Yeah, it's not ideal but the way I have things set up atm with rate tables, it would potentially cost me a LOT of money so I've chosen to keep it disabled for the time being. A buyer can always contact me if they're interested and can't have it delivered to a physical address. Actually, adding that to the bottom of the description isn't a half bad idea.

We were able to ship with CP yesterday but now theres a banner saying Canada Post is experiencing issues and to try again later.

videotimeplus · ‎12-18-2025

fixed now.

meddshaw · ‎12-23-2025

Tried to ship for the first time in over a week. I'm getting this now too, "Temporarily Unavailable"

osabee27 · ‎12-23-2025

Yes, me too it says something like Canada Post is experiencing issues 😞 and only gives me UPS or FedEx.

snoopwiz · ‎12-23-2025

Seems to be an on again/off again problem. (as of Dec 23, 7:40 pm e.s.t.)

Trying to create a small packet int'l label to France.

Should be about $11 for the under 100 gram envelope, no tracking, $15 or so for tracking.

Only option is good 'ol Fed Ex for the low, low price of (ready for it?) $80.17

Other options via CP are...."Temporarily Unavailable."

I've had trouble today too. I was able to purchase an Expedited Lite label around 3pm EST, but ever since Canada Post seems to be completely down.

Couldn't get quotes for Canada Post from anywhere tonight.

Was able to print a lable for UPS through a 3rd party, but apparently the scheduling system is down (unsure whether it is UPS or the 3rd party that's down) so I couldn't schedule the pickup. I live about 75km away from the nearest drop point. Cancelled the label.

Was finally able to successfully print a label and schedule a pickup with Sendle. I really didn't want the packages sitting around until the 29th if I could help it.

sixshroud · ‎12-23-2025

Now it looks like labels are available again, but when I click purchase shipping label it doesn't load and says try again later. Frustrating.

sixshroud · ‎12-23-2025

Appears to be working now, was able to print the labels I needed

osabee27 · ‎12-23-2025

I just tried 5 minutes ago and the labels seem to be working and I ran to the kitchen so that I can print them, all of a sudden it says try again later, Canada Post may be experiencing delays 😑 this is really frustrating.
