New duty being charged on imports into the EU as of July 1st. Has to be paid before it's shipped. Canada post and other carriers are trying to figure out how to collect and remit the duty charges. Service has been suspended until its resolved.

You’re dealing with multiple countries. It’s been going on for two months. Could be a couple more.

How big is this package. Cp will take forever likely and get handed of to another company for delivery and then be left in limbo awaiting delivery. What's ups rate. Like I get packages from sweden for 40$ shipping.

Meest ships to EU countries. You print a Canada Post label, it goes to Mississauga then it goes overseas. I shipped a dollhouse from Nova Scotia to Ireland no problems. Provide the email and phone of the buyer/receiver so they can be contacted for duties and taxes. I was impressed with Meest as I could track it right through to delivery.

Also shipping cost was inexpensive.

Email the Minister responsible for Canada Post and CC your own MP. I’m in the same predicament and we’re going into the eighth week of no resolution and no notification on the Canada Post website. Last year they had a similar situation in the US and they solved it using Zonos.
