All mail to Canada is currently facing severe delays with Royal Mail unable to give an estimate of delivery times. The following update in from the Royal Mail website.

Update: 1 August 2020
CANADA DELAYS: All mail being sent from the UK to Canada is facing severe delays because of the on-going impact of COVID-19 and record volumes of traffic being received in Canada. We are processing the mail as normal in the UK, but delays are taking place once the mail reaches the Canadian border. As a result, we are unable to advise on likely delivery times.

We have recently been made aware by Royal Mail that they are experiencing delays in the Swindon area due to resourcing issues at the Swindon Delivery Office. Deliveries in this area are currently limited and customers should expect there to be delays to mail deliveries. Postcodes affected include SN1-3, SN6, SN25 and SN38.

We will shortly be adding VAT to our prices. If you are able to claim back VAT you will be able to download invoices from the website which will show the amount of VAT you have paid. If you are an EU business customer you will be able to enter your VAT number to zero rate VAT.

We have recently taken the decision to stop supporting the International Tracked and Signed service to Canada. Recently the service has not been showing any tracking information and items have been severely delayed and in many cases lost in transit. As we have found the service unreliable we have decided to remove it until the service to Canada improves.
