We hope you’re doing well, staying warm, and finding time to enjoy the season despite the holiday hustle and bustle! We wanted to take a moment to talk about the ongoing Canada Post strike and how it’s affecting shipping and delivery. We know this isn’t the most festive topic, but we want to keep you in the loop and let you know what we’re doing to ensure you still get your Flamingo Plus orders on time.



This strike has been a tough one for everyone. It’s thrown a wrench into the usual flow of things—both for businesses like ours and for awesome customers like you. We know how much you rely on us to keep your Cannabis Accessories, Vaping Needs, and, for our Manitoba friends, Cannabis products coming without delay.



So, let’s break it all down and show you how we’re navigating these challenges together.

What’s Happening with Shipping Costs?

The strike has caused courier services across Canada to raise their rates to keep up with increased demand. Unfortunately, this means we’ve had to make some adjustments to our shipping fees. We’ve done everything we can to absorb the extra costs, but to keep the wheels turning, here are the updated rates:

• Expedited Shipping

  • Orders under $300: $22
  • Orders over $300: FREE

• XPRESSPOST

  • Orders under $400: $27
  • Orders over $400: FREE

• Local Delivery Within Winnipeg

  • Orders under $150: $15
  • Orders over $150: FREE

We get it—this isn’t the kind of news anyone wants to hear. But please know we’re doing everything we can to keep these costs as reasonable as possible while maintaining the reliable service you’ve come to count on.

Need Your Order Faster? We’ve Got You Covered!

Here’s a little tip to help you speed things up: Choose our EMT (E-Mail Money Transfer) payment option at checkout. This simple option cuts processing time by 1-2 business days, meaning your order can be on its way to you faster than ever.

To use EMT, just send your payment to [email protected] once your order is placed. It’s quick, secure, and easy—perfect for those times when you just can’t wait!

Why We’re Committed to You

Here at Flamingo Plus, we see you as more than customers—you’re friends. That’s why we’re so committed to keeping our services reliable, our products accessible, and our communication honest. We know times like this can be frustrating, but we hope you know how much we appreciate your patience and understanding as we navigate this together.

We’re not just here to sell you products; we’re here to support you. Whether you need a hand with your order, have questions about shipping, or just want to vent about the state of things, we’re all ears.
