CalStreets has been doing mail order so long we remember when “tracking” meant staring out the window and hoping the Canada Post truck stopped at your house.

This sticker is a little tribute to that glorious era: handwritten orders, packed boxes, impatient skaters, and the sacred sound of wheels arriving in the mail. It looks like a stamp, feels like Vancouver, and has absolutely no legal ability to mail anything unless your envelope is powered by pure skate shop nostalgia.

Buy one for the sticker binder. Buy two so the blue 20-cent version does not get lonely.

Before tracking numbers were checked 47 times a day and before everyone expected a box to teleport to their porch overnight, CalStreets was already shipping skateboards, parts, wheels, trucks, stickers, and assorted skate weirdness across Canada.

This CalStreets Boarder Labs postage-style sticker is a tribute to that mail order legacy. Inspired by classic Canadian postage, Vancouver landmarks, maple leaves, postmarks, and old-school stamp artwork, it celebrates the shop’s long connection to Canada Post and the skaters who kept the mailman busy for over 45 years.

CalStreets has been around since 1978, and mail order has always been a huge part of the story. Long before online checkout buttons and automated shipping emails, skaters were calling, writing, ordering, waiting, and hoping their new deck showed up before the weekend session. This sticker captures that whole feeling: part skate shop history, part Vancouver postcard, part “where’s my package?” comedy.

The purple 15-cent version keeps it classic and collectible, with a vintage postal look that feels like it came out of a drawer full of old skate stickers, shop receipts, and forgotten grip tape scraps. The blue 20-cent version carries the same idea with a fresh colourway for collectors who know one stamp is never enough.

A sweet throwback tour of CalStreets! Of course Spike the cat greets you with her trademark meowl.

CalStreets – Since 1978

Born in the golden era of urethane and rebellion, CalStreets Skate Shop opened its doors in 1978, carving its way into Canadian skate history from the heart of Vancouver. More than just a shop, CalStreets became the west coast’s skateboarding nucleus—a place where riders, rebels, and innovators found their tribe.

Back in the day, we weren’t just slinging boards—we were official Canadian distributors for the biggest names in skate history: Powell-Peralta, Sims, Santa Cruz, Alva, Dogtown, and Brand-X. If it was iconic, we had it first.

At the center of it all is Rick Tetz, CalStreets’ founder and lifelong skater. Rick rode for Hobie and Sims, earned 3rd place at the Oasis World Freestyle Championships, and took 1st in Canada in 1980 for Freestyle Skateboarding.

Rick also managed Skateboard World Skatepark in Burnaby, one of Canada’s original skateparks that helped define the country’s skate culture. Rick’s legacy isn’t just carved into the pavement—it’s built into the DNA of the shop itself.

From the early days of fiberglass decks and backyard ramps to today’s resurgence of reissues, surfskates, and fingerboarding, we’ve always stayed ahead of the curve.

And if you ever dropped by our shop in the heyday, you probably played a few games on our original Black Knight pinball machine—a staple of the shop that’s eaten more quarters than any snack bar ever could. It's still here at CalStreets HQ, and yes, it still works.

We don’t just sell gear—we live and breathe skateboarding. From freestyle pioneers to street soldiers, bowl carvers to vert chargers, CalStreets has always been more than a shop—it’s been a launchpad for legends. Our team riders and local scene helped shape Vancouver’s skate identity with a DIY spirit that still fuels every session today.

Today, CalStreets lives on through our brick-and-mortar location and online under the BoarderLabs banner—serving collectors, skaters, and culture junkies who know that the real ones never left. Skater-owned. CalStreets – Holding it down since 1978.
