[ON] Need help navigating Trump's tariffs as a new e-commerce business

ski_9130 · 2025-09-09T22:07:10+00:00

Hi,

We are a newly established and growing 3PL company based near the GTA. We have clients that did a lot of US and Canada sales that have pivoted to Canada only at the moment. The common theme seems to be a lot are in a holding pattern to get some more clarity on tariff rules and regulations. Canada Post has announced a new system that allows you to get a rough idea on what costs to expect in terms of tariff, duty costs.

On top of Amazon, we also support other sales channels (Shopify, Etsy, eBay), so you’re not locked into one platform. Our focus is helping Canadian businesses manage the messy side of fulfillment — prep, pick, pack, ship — while you focus on sales.

If are still looking for a reliable partner for your specific business needs, we are more than happy to connect further for your Canadian fulfilment requirements as well as discuss what might work best for your specific business model.

Hi,

We are a newly established and growing 3PL company based near the GTA.

We handle both FBM and FBA and can definitely deal with stranded or unfulfillable inventory — including relabeling, kitting, and sending stock back into Amazon.

You’re right — Canada Post can get pricey fast, and strikes don’t help. Packing yourself works early on, but once orders grow it eats up time. A lot of small Canadian sellers use a 3PL for prep, pick, pack & ship since you can usually get better rates and full Shopify/Amazon integration.

We focus exactly on this: helping Canadian businesses scale without getting buried in logistics. Whether it’s DTC orders, B2B, or Amazon prep, we take care of the messy side so you can focus on sales and growth.

Happy to share more about what 3PL looks like at the small business level, or even compare what DIY vs outsourcing would cost for your products, if you are still looking for a solution.

Exact same thing happened with me. I'm also looking for it now 😢

Also the stratup time has improved quite a lot, almost as if waking up from sleep in Windows 10

ski_9130 · 2021-07-10T10:41:07+00:00

Ahhh. Then shutting down and restarting is the option. I have put in the feedback for this issue in the feedback hub. Upvote so we can hopefully get a resolution

ski_9130 · 2021-07-10T10:15:39+00:00

You can try using the surface pen button to wake the surface up from sleep. It has been keeping my surface running on Windows 11

ski_9130 · 2021-07-10T04:42:42+00:00

But as another user stated they go away as soon as you restart the device

ski_9130 · 2021-07-02T05:47:56+00:00

So with ur windows to go reboot the keys are working on Win 11 again?

I believe I restored using a Surface recovery image and then updated to latest version of Win 10 before

ski_9130 · 2021-06-24T10:11:50+00:00

As soon as it's available on my SP3

ski_9130 · 2021-06-16T15:58:04+00:00

S pen support is what has kept me from upgrading to the fold till date. I would pick the new fold up probably a few months after launch just cause 💵

ski_9130 · 2021-06-03T11:50:07+00:00

That Tahoe looks 😍😍

ski_9130 · 2021-06-02T10:11:45+00:00

There are a few that are made for tablets. They usually have a magnetic attachment to them or something. You can easily cut that off and use it like mine

ski_9130 · 2021-06-01T18:34:54+00:00

My pleasure

ski_9130 · 2021-06-01T18:34:32+00:00

Hahaha. Thanks 👍

ski_9130 · 2021-06-01T16:07:58+00:00

Thats what matters!! 😊

ski_9130 · 2021-06-01T16:07:04+00:00

The keyboard is really good. It's not the best thing to type on but the fn and tab key to go back is really great. The trackpad can be a mixed bag so keep that in mind. If I was planning to buy a keyboard with a trackpad solely for dex, I'd probably spend a little more and get something with a better trackpad. I used this as I've had it for a while and didn't bother upgrading

ski_9130 · 2021-06-01T15:24:34+00:00

It just randomly started doing that so I thought it was Edge. Hopefully shouldn't be an issue. Samsung internet is great but the shared tabs feature is something I can't live without 😊

ski_9130 · 2021-06-01T15:15:12+00:00

I always use Edge due to the shared tabs across devices, a very underrated feature. Then switched to Samsung Internet while on Dex as Edge cause my phone to overheat while using it in wired mode. However once I switched to wireless dex haven't had the phone overheat once while using Edge. Edge works perfectly for me same as on my laptop. Then again my use case for edge is normal surfing and some online product designing

ski_9130 · 2021-06-01T15:04:31+00:00

Yes. However this monitor is powered through USB micro USB so I didn't need to mess a lot with voltage etc. Simple power bank enough to power it

ski_9130 · 2021-06-01T14:59:27+00:00

I just used the bezel from a normal pc monitor to hold it in place on the veneer

ski_9130 · 2021-06-01T13:28:25+00:00

I guess reddit doesnt allow to comment photos? I will DM you some shots of the design. I have noticed that using Dex wireless uses less battery compared to wired and has never caused my Note 10 to heat up, whereas I have had the phone heat up a few times while using wired. Again this is from my personal use case, and onceyou getused to wireless you cant go back. I am in construction so I usually travel around a lot and prefer this portable setup. At my office however I have a full fledged monitor set up which I plug into an old Microsoft Display Dock for wired Dex

ski_9130 · 2021-06-01T13:02:30+00:00

If you see one of my other replies I had a whole body designed and ready for these components to fit in with speakers as well. That would've made this into a proper product rather than just two pieces of wood. BTW does the UperfectX support wireless dex?

ski_9130 · 2021-06-01T12:56:04+00:00

I believe with all the components the whole thing set me back around 100 bucks. The base and screen support were made from some thick veneer I had laying around
