Wildfires and smoke are causing shipping delays across western Canada and the Pacific Northwest. If you have time-sensitive orders, don't wait — order now and alert your clients to do the same.

As wildfires and heavy smoke continue to impact communities across Western Canada and the Pacific Northwest, we want to be upfront with you: shipping delays are affecting our region, and they may last for the next several months.

Road closures, air quality restrictions on transport operations, and increased carrier backlogs are all contributing to longer-than-usual transit times for orders destined for western provinces and states.

What This Means for Your Orders

If you or your clients have any time-sensitive orders — event giveaways, trade show bags, corporate gifts, seasonal promotions, or anything with a hard deadline — please do not wait. The window to order and receive on time is narrowing.

Here's what we recommend:

• Order now, not later. Even if your event or deadline is weeks away, place your order today to build in buffer time.
• Alert your clients. If you're a reseller or promotional products buyer, let your clients know that lead times are extended. Encourage them to confirm quantities and artwork as soon as possible.
• Choose expedited shipping where available. We offer expedited options at checkout — these may help offset some delay, though carrier capacity is limited.
• Contact us if you have a hard deadline. Reach out before placing your order and we'll do our best to advise on realistic timelines.

We're Here to Help

We know this is stressful, especially when you're counting on product arriving for an important occasion. Our team is monitoring the situation closely and will keep you updated as conditions change.

Thank you for your patience and understanding. We're committed to getting your orders to you as safely and quickly as possible.
