70% are worried about shipping/mailing delays. @canadapostcorp @DHLUS @FedEx @amazonca @UPS
The shift to online doesn't mean people aren't looking for local options. But it's not always obvious where to buy online & local. But there's a desire to support local this year.

Just this week, I found some wonderful soaps made in @TravelYukon.
