Purolator and UPS have paused shipments from some courier companies as they try to work through a deluge of deliveries brought on by the Canada Post strike, creating even bigger backlogs at the height of the holiday shipping season.

“The Purolator network is currently experiencing service disruptions due to severe weather and a significant increase in volume,” the company said in an email.
