Small business owners in Calgary say they are concerned about how to continue operations during the holiday season .

Independent store owners and merchants are more affected than big box retailers, business community representatives say.

They say they have to deal with rising costs of more expensive mail delivery services, time lost in administrative complications and customers shifting from shopping locally.

Local businesses have been employing a range of strategies to deliver products, including choosing alternative services and asking customers to pick up in store.

Local jewellery store TUU by Coutukitsch , with his wife, said their business has not been affected as they normally rely on multiple delivery services to ship packages.

Staff have to circumvent usual processes to load shipping information and create new systems.
