The post office in a small community is often an essential hub for small businesses and individuals alike. However, when the regular postal service is not available, it has a disproportionate impact on small communities such as Sayward. Most product deliveries actually dispatch on a courier service, but in rural areas such as Sayward, most couriers do not deliver to the door. Rather, most parcel deliveries are passed off to Canada Post for final delivery to PO boxes.
Christmas is a peak time for any delivery service, and the lack of product delivery to Sayward has been causing frustration already as the postal strike enters its second week. Even once the strike ends, the postal service will be very backlogged for the coming weeks.
Local Sayward business Sayward Delivery has stepped up to provide an alternative solution for people to shop online and receive their parcels delivered to their door this holiday season. Visit www.SaywardDelivery.com for more details on this new service.
