Dude it's a shop it's going to get dirty you are not preforming surgery in therel it is going to get dirty you are kind of being ridiculous about it lol
Keep the store open, receive, prepare and pack orders until the strike is over. We will understand! Strike will end at some point and I believe it will happen sooner rather than later.
Wonderful you found a fabricator that is in synch with your visions. You are going to be very successful. In just the few short years I have been watching your channel your growth and business sense has grown out of a solid foundation.
In my experience we never closed down sales when there were shipping interruptions. We simply informed customers of delays… then shipped once strike etc ended. Never stop the sales channel!!
You can keep your store open, but put shipping delay warning on the order checkout so people know it will be a little slower to get their package. KEEP TAKING ORDERS. People will understand.
Awe come on Chrome, they want them all to be part time. Then work them almost full time, ridiculous. I know it sucks but there are other company's that ship. Keep takng orders, eventually canada post will be back to work.
They really need our support right now so thank you for providing those facts. It matters. It's not Canada Posts fault. Blame the people putting them in this position.
He states that he supports them TWICE in the video. But he also vents because it causes both shops a lot of headaches, especially near Christmas time, which is exactly why they are on strike right now.
Hey Chrome, I wanted to post something, but I don't want it to come across the wrong way. I also know Amanda will probably respond as she's very protective of you (and I respect that). With that said, although you don't owe us anything, a lot of us have been wondering (as well as asking) what happened to Loren, and why he's suddenly disappeared completely from the channel. We certainly are looking forward to getting to know Daryl (Darryl?), but Loren became such a big part of your life over the last couple of years, and then he was gone without a trace. Now don't get me wrong, I do see from his own admission that he's had some health stuff, and that you recently commented on a live stream of his, but outside of that, you no longer make any reference to him whatsoever. For those of us who got to know him so well, and absolutely loved the dynamic between the two of you, I think I can speak for many of us where we are feeling like a friend was lost without any explanation. Once again, you don't owe us one, but as a guy who prides himself on full transparency and "keeping it real", I think that a lot of us would like to know if he is at least going to be a part of the channel/shop again. Even if it's a yes or no answer. Anyway, sorry for the rant here. Been a subscriber for a while now and your channel has become a big part of mine, as well as a lot of others' lives. All the best! ✌️✌️
I don’t respond to comments just because I am protective of Chrome. I respond because he will often not have time to go through many comments and you all often deserve responses. As for the “where is Loren” question that I have responded to many times, Loren doesn’t have time to help Chrome right now. His personal life and previous commitments have him busy (check out his channel for updates - Lole’s Offroad & Overland) and Chrome has a business to move forward. He can’t wait for Loren in order to get things done. They are 100% still bro’s. In fact if you were on Chrome’s YT memberships, you would have seen a post with Loren in it last Friday. Thats about the gist. We all love Loren, including Chrome - but Chrome is a business man and needs to be able to move forward right now. Will you see Loren on the channel in the future? For sure. When? Who knows. ✌️
Floors can be fixed....just like driving your truck into the bush and getting "pinstripes" on the side from branches. Every ding and scrape will tell a story.
Hold tight, support POST, I'm sure a pause will be brief - if you just pause - I know a bad deal, but we will all pray fir a quick resolution. Bulk Ship to a friend in USA Later if too long.
Maybe you can "chain" a series of events for Cruise. What I mean is, as the lights go out he gets a treat (down by the exit door)... then in the van...
Chrome, here is something interesting. I was reading google news and came across this gentleman who when I saw his picture I thought it was you. His name is Rick Martinez who is a Chef and Cookbook author out of Austin, Texas. He also appears on TH-cam under Food52 along with other chefs. The resemblance is amazing. In some of his photos he has the same salt and pepper hairdo and beard as you, minus the earrings. Amazing!
Chrome if you’re not gonna make your weather window on the driveway just grade it off and get yourself some 1+ gravel and just pour that about three or 4 inches thick. Then that can be compacted with sand when it comes time to put in the concrete.
I support unions and striking workers. Sorry it impacts you, but maybe that's reason enough to support better pay and working conditions for workers. If employers took care of the people who make things happen there wouldn't be a strike.
That's such a cool piece from Mini Surfboards! Love it! Have you considered some of that gritty paint for the stairs? It would also give Cruzie a better grip on them. Amanda is amazing, I'm wondering if there's anything she CAN'T do! You go, Gurl !
I just purchased a 1989 Dodge Power Ram 250 Van. Old school bubble top😂. I'm looking forward to purchasing items when I start the remodel, hope you ship to Cali when your back up and running 😉
Switch to couriers I guess it won't last long. I can sympathize with you, having been small business person myself. But when you think about it, we should appreciate the work that CP and the workers do for such a low price. Be well
As a American i can't speak to your mail service. But my best shipping rates come from Ups cubic shipping. It needs to be bagged to ship that way but it's been beating Freedom Postal Service for about a year now
Luckily I received my sticker pack yesterday morning. Honestly, I don't think this strike isn't going to last long. They'll hopefully be subjected to binding arbitration if it takes too long. All the best. Keep being weird. Bye
Bro it's a shop floor if it isn't dirty you aren't using it right. It's called a broom and a mop, floors will look brand new after a quick clean up. As for the shipping issue DO NOT CLOSE THE STORE your gunna hurt yourself doing that. Just put a note on the site saying there will be shipping delays and keep rollin.
I understand Chrome. It’s fresh, trying to keep it presentable before the real work starts. And let those know who watch his channel….know his expectations. He’s a youtuber, he is a brand, and his shop is an extension of himself and brand. He wants to maintain a clean shop. Especially for videos. And aint nothing wrong with that.
I am a Union Sister. I ALWAYS support strikes. I understand that it puts you in a bad place. What you can do is write your postal service and put the pressure on them to respect their workers.
Just a thought - could you partner with one of those other sellers to ship through them? Anybody close enough for you to drive to once a week? Anyway, hope the strike is over soon.
HA HA... WUT A DIVA" LOl Love that dang dog... "Just A little paientce .... " Democracy is a beautiful , Live in the now brother. Puff Puff Passing... Let it be... Peace.
Hey chrome. They sell grip tape to put on the stairs. It’s for people and pets so they.don’t slip. Also they sell grip paint. It has like sand build in the paint.
Yea as Ben said…he’s not slapping youtubers. He’s slapping large businesses. Especially US businesses trying to save a buck manufacturing out of the states.
Hi Chrome longtime Kuboata Tractor Dealer, and Bobcat Dealer, also CPDJ Dealership, been watching you daily for a few years , so been around many bays, actually had a couple walk down bays also, I was a mechanic as well, and employed many mechanics and techs, soooo Chrome you're going to slip and bust your butt also, anyway we also had the techs clean their work area every night when we closed, and yes I always paid them to do it, that's what the time clock is for " If it ain't dirty you're not doing business "😅
We are sorry that the post office is messin with you, We got lots of comments on the merch we have from you. Really buisness is like that you just get some thing working and it get messed up, its enought to make you run off and go camping for a while hey hey Ian Sue & Winston
If my geography is correct, you are not that far from the U.S. border... Why not rent a box truck, full of hoodies, shirts, etc., and take it to the U.S. post office... Is that an option???
IF the business' who are impacted by labor disruptions would speak up at Canada post (the management, not the frontline staff), this would be over far faster..
Too many excuses there's always an alternative to shipping even though you might have to raise something by a couple of dollars temporarily, never shut down just because of one place that's just an excuse, so find another alternative route until the strike is over and get your big boy pants on and handle business
I know nothing about Canada or Shopify. I do know folks who sell on E-Bay in the states, and they often use pirate ship. I wonder if that is an option for you? Why not just set up an E-bay store? I know they have an option for international shipping, etc. You obviously have all the pic's, descriptions, etc for your merch.
Dude it's a shop it's going to get dirty you are not preforming surgery in therel it is going to get dirty you are kind of being ridiculous about it lol
Easy for you to say!!!! ITS NOT YOUR LIFE SAVINGS. I wanna protect MY INVESTMENT.
Thanks so much for sharing my art work and website again your a true gent
Thanks kev mini surfboards
❤ That was a nice Piece ❤

It’s also significant, in these circumstances to recognize the importance of the postal services and their value. Love your vids. 💚💛❤️
Its a shop, not a house, itll get muddy and dirty, just have to clean up every week....not walk around in socks and pretend its your house
The pain it causes is the power of a strike........
exactly right, but it needs to happen
I just ordered stickers. I'll wait. Don't stress. Those of us who love you won't mind the delay.
Don’t stop your sales! Just let everyone know there will be a delay. We understand❤
Floors can be fixed....just like driving your truck into the bush and getting "pinstripes" on the side from branches.

Gotta show solidarity with the hard working postal workers.
I think we need a shop chair race.
Dude, I freaking love your dog😂😂
Keep the store open.... shipping delayed due to strike. Don't lose income because they are on strike.
His toes like walking on the garage floor inside rather than the rocky terrain outside the garage. 🐶

@joannybarra7717 that could be his brother.... for real
Lol!!! Holy crap!!! Brothers from another mother!!! 😂
Get a few of those metal drip sheets for under cars. Lay them out when grinding and welding.
Keep taking the orders and get them ready for shipment. Express delivery at a premium cost. 4-6 weeks delivery otherwise.
Chrome if you’re not gonna make your weather window on the driveway just grade it off and get yourself some 1+ gravel and just pour that about three or 4 inches thick. Then that can be compacted with sand when it comes time to put in the concrete.
Just keep ordering and packaging and send it out when it's ready. Hopefully they'll be back to work quick.
Hey Chrome where's Loren there day's. Love all your videos and I love Cruz. Keep your double V's up.
I feel for you guys hoping they get this sorted out soon !
Where is Lauren?
He's got his own life I imagine. 😅
I feel like shops are suppose to be dirty no????
I rec. keeping the shop open with a disclaimer about the strike and delay in shipping posted on the website.
By the way, DHL uses local postal services for final delivery when possible. That’s why their prices can be competitive.
Love that look Cruzie gave ya in the front seat. Awesome.
I'm glad I got my long sleeve double V's shirt today before this starts!
Cruzy is just going to wither away to nothing 😂❤😂

@@wes52101 I absolutely agree! Union strong!
When I lived in Cali in the 90s the grocery store cashiers went on strike for $16 an hour. In 1999. Yea, I can scan my own groceries with no training.
@@katydid2877 which is one more way employers skirt labor laws in order to avoid paying a living wage to employees.
Agreed👍
Chrome said he supports the workers and their right to fair wages.
I don’t think it will last too long they are leveraging the holiday season to get what they want.🤞
full speed ahead damn the torpedos
So don't get lazy now, those green hoodies should be finished by the time the strikes over, right? lol
I'm waiting for the green as well 😂.
I have a Shopify account too
And I had to take hault all physical products off right now as well I’m not paying that much every month
Got to love the Vancouver Island weather right!!!!!
Maybe our corporations should pay people fairly? Take care of the people and everyone does better.
Corporations are always more concerned about paying themselves millions of dollars rather than pay the workers who deserve to be paid better.
I care about future purchases and shipping situations
That's such a cool piece from Mini Surfboards! Love it!
Have you considered some of that gritty paint for the stairs? It would also give Cruzie a better grip on them.
Amanda is amazing, I'm wondering if there's anything she CAN'T do! You go, Gurl !
✨❤️✨ 1,000% Agree!
There was back in the 80's a company that spung up who forwarded mail to the USPS.
There may be a company today that does that.
Stay strong Chrome and Cruzie 💪✌️
I just purchased a 1989 Dodge Power Ram 250 Van. Old school bubble top😂. I'm looking forward to purchasing items when I start the remodel, hope you ship to Cali when your back up and running 😉
Could maybe pressure wash the mud off vehicles coming into the shop til the cement is poured , hey ?
Switch to couriers I guess it won't last long. I can sympathize with you, having been small business person myself. But when you think about it, we should appreciate the work that CP and the workers do for such a low price. Be well
I'm in the delivery business. I think I will be busy soon. A lot of northern business will be in trouble.
Dud it's a shop floor where you planned on working on it,calm down it'll last till it don't. In 5-10 years you can have it ground down and recover it
As a American i can't speak to your mail service. But my best shipping rates come from Ups cubic shipping. It needs to be bagged to ship that way but it's been beating Freedom Postal Service for about a year now

drop some gravel in the driveway... That will help with the mud.
sand then gravel........
Chrome, you have an automotive shop. Vehicles are muddy, dirty, greasy and just down right grungy. Sooooo............
Stay positive, weird and keeping it real.
Get a paint booth type thing for center bay for that type work
😮hopefully short-lived strike
6:37 this guy thinks a shop supposed to be pretty like a hotel. It's a shop lol
Hey chrome. They sell grip tape to put on the stairs. It’s for people and pets so they.don’t slip. Also they sell grip paint. It has like sand build in the paint.
Definitely an office piece
⚠️I hope trump doesn’t put tariffs on Canada! Stock up if you can.
I think he's looking at bigger production products. Not shirts, stickers and such
Yea as Ben said…he’s not slapping youtubers. He’s slapping large businesses. Especially US businesses trying to save a buck manufacturing out of the states.
Hey Chrome and Cruz......love the music......I swear Cruz feel your pain....Hey Amanda...and Darryl
Art in your office

Time, cost (boat fare), etc
Bringing it yourself across the boarder could be complicated with US customs vs relying on Canada post (Or other courier) to do all this.
It was better with the yellow on the stairs
CHROME ‼️👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Chrome. I have a 68f250 390 c6 doing camper build. Hard times..
Why can’t Cruz stay in the shop?
1st here in line Chrome and Cruz we are here
Saw a shot of your Starlink antenna (van with Cruz). The face is trashed! How is reception?
Instead of shutting down. Stay open and leave it to the consumer to decide if they want to use other delivery services.
Nice needed someone to replace lole well not replace but allow him enjoy retirement
WTF 💔 He Earned His Freedom To RETIRE ❤
My brother in his shop in WA and I use pirateship very reasonable easy shipping
Dhl is more then 50 try 78... its insane..you can do.flat rate ie x amount and just figure it out thennout it at a flat price
IF the business' who are impacted by labor disruptions would speak up at Canada post (the management, not the frontline staff), this would be over far faster..
Maybe you can have it taken in to Washington state and shipped
Down here UPS is cheaper for parcels than U.S. Post.
That varies. Between the top three, UPS, USPS, and fedex, prices are comparable.
Morning fellas ✌️✌️✌️
👍
Only way around that would be having a 2nd warehouse outside Canada to ship to non-Canada addresses (like USPS)
Too many excuses there's always an alternative to shipping even though you might have to raise something by a couple of dollars temporarily, never shut down just because of one place that's just an excuse, so find another alternative route until the strike is over and get your big boy pants on and handle business
hayat sana güzel mübarek.
Sue them right back.
always at xmas time or all other holidays around same time....and Cruz might need a pound or 2 less of treats anyways..lmao..kidding!
😅😅😅😅 sounds like an easy way out of a shop
With the holidays coming up I doubt they will be striking very long.
What's up, Weirdos!

I wondered if that was going to effect you.
