DDF/DDD Updates <3

UPDATE: September 30th 2025:

On the evening of the 25th of September, we received an email that the main shipping company of Canada, Canada Post, announced the union is on a nationwide strike that started on September 25th 2025.

The duration of the strike is unknown at this time, sometimes it's only a few weeks or sometimes a month or a few.

What does that mean?

September Drop ~ Continued as scheduled : Since it is such short notice, we are not pausing the shop, and we will continue to keep it open. If you choose to support the DDD shop in this time of uncertainty, we will graciously hold your order until the strike is over and continue to update as we get more information.

Special edition pre-orders are excitedly coming this fall/winter! They will not be postponed since the ship out date is quite far out. We are hopeful the strike will be over before then. 

Her Soul To Take overlays ~ Delayed: We are starting up the packaging of the pre-orders this week. Due to the strike, we cannot start sending them out the first week of October as planned if the strike continues. 

We have previously looked into alternative shipping methods but they were not feasible by far, even more so now. Due to the new USA customs regulations, going through a commercial currier such as FedEx or UPS would cost significantly more in tariff, duty, and/or processing fees. So, waiting for Canada Post is the only option.

We will hold the overlays orders until the strike is over (along with all other orders purchased while postal strike is on) and continue to update as we get more information.

We deeply appreciate your understanding and patience during this time as many small businesses across Canada are affected. We will provide any updates via newsletter and the updates page on our website. As well as social media when we are able. 

UPDATE: August 22nd 2025 (highlights):

🚨Dear fellow sugar and spice lovers,

Unfortunately, we have some bad news,

Due to the De Mininis coming to an end August 29th and while we were hopeful Canada Post (CP) and USPS were going to be exempt, that is so very sadly not the case. We are halting all parcel shipments to the USA until there is a clear route to properly completing checkout with the duties/tariffs/Taxes etc since those fees now need to be paid ahead of time before reaching the boarder or else they will be refused by the US Customs and Boarder Protection..

Along with pausing USA parcel shipments, we will be postponing the Jess "Crawl to Me" acrylic until the dust settles a little more so we can accurately navigate the proper payment procedures and to give all a chance to purchase Jess as she is limited, if we can. We hope this will be sorted in September or that fingers crossed, the De Minimis will be reinstated soon.

A bright side, currently letter mail is unaffected. So we will be able to continue selling prints, bookmarks, overlays, stickers, and character cards to the USA until notified otherwise. Anything paper that can fit in an maximum 14.9 x 10.06 x 0.8 inch envelope. No dust jackets at this time.

We will continue to update as things change.
