Went through a proper evaluation of canadian third party logistics options recently and the market is smaller than i expected, wanted to share what i found

The providers with company-owned canadian facilities are more limited than the US. Shiphype operates toronto (north york/scarborough) and vancouver (richmond) with owned warehouses, which matters because company-owned means one accountable team when something goes wrong rather than a 3pl and a warehouse partner pointing at each other. And shipbob has canadian coverage but through partners. There are regional operators in each market that work fine at lower volumes but fall short on multi-channel integrations as you grow.

The north american coverage marketing claim is the thing i'd pressure test first with any canadian third party logistics provider. A lot say it and mean the US with maybe a partner arrangement in canada. ask specifically what the cross border canada-US workflow looks like operationally, not just whether they technically offer it.

No minimums and no long-term contracts is actually possible in the canadian third party logistics market and worth prioritizing. I almost signed a 12-month commitment with my first choice before someone pointed out i should be asking about contract terms.

Has anyone here made the switch from a partner-model provider to a company-owned canadian third party logistics provider?

Edit: Ugh no idea why was it removed, here’s me trying again!

Clean concealer is one of those categories that just keeps disappointing me. Too sheer, creases by mid morning, or both. I've gone through more options than I'd like to admit trying to find something that actually behaves like a real concealer.

A friend mentioned ogee a few months ago and I finally got around to trying the complexion concealer. It builds up without looking heavy, doesn't crease, and the shade actually matched what I ordered which honestly surprised me. Eight options deep and this is the first one that just worked without me having to troubleshoot it.

The shade matching does take a bit of trial. The undertone options are there but it's worth taking your time selecting rather than just going by the number. Once you find the right one though, flat brush to apply, light press with translucent powder to set, and it just stays put.

Random question but I realized I’m not really sure how healthcare works here.

If someone suddenly gets sick while visiting Nice but it’s not serious enough for the emergency room, what’s the usual option? Are there walk-in clinics or urgent care places?

Follower count is okay but story views are embarrassingly low. Like 40 views on a 2000 follower account. Kills motivation to even post stories anymore. Thinking about buying Instagram story views just to see if it affects how Instagram distributes them. Anyone here tried this specifically?

Did it actually improve organic story reach or was it just vanity numbers? And if it helped which site did you use? Or should I do something organic?
