Anyone else having issues with Canada Post lately?

[Zhariak]

Trying to get some stuff delivered. Forked out like 50 bucks for Priority NextAM shipping from Ontario...

Shipped Thursday (19th), estimated delivery was Friday (20th). It's now the 25th...

Item got to Calgary on Saturday, and according to tracking it's just hanging out in the Calgary postal facility.

Called, they say they only have whats on the tracking and they initiated a "trace" (whatever that means).

I get soo annoyed when my only option is CP...

Anyone else having issues lately?

I ordered a item about 3 week ago via Canada post, was suppose to take around 7 days. Still no sign of it!

Shouldn't they still be working until then? Priority Next AM package, and it's been over 5 business days!

really?! i just ordered a bunch of parts using usps instead of ups... canada post is always good to me. last time my package showed up a day early! and i love how you can just pick it up at the corner store if you miss the delivery guy instead of dealing with ups or fedex when you have to sign the leave at door slip and wait another day

Did your package contain a mysterious white powder? If so, it was confiscated yesterday, after the facility was evacuated

Your guy actually tries to deliver???? Do you slip him money under the table? lmao

Both at my new place, and old. They just dump "mail delivery attampt slips" in to my mailbox on the corner.

Yesterday a registered letter came in, watched him fill the mail, was going to ask about my missing package but was too busy eating. I finish up quick, he's gone, walk over to check the mail, and BAM, delivery notification failed....

These contractors piss me off. They NEVER attempt delivery, and the guy at my new place delivers the mail at 7:45PM every night. WTF


And as of today CP is reporting my package as still hanging out at the Calgary postal facility...

I got a package delivered from China on a Sunday, I pressed "buy" on eBay only 5 days earlier.

grrrrr hahaha


Anyone know the diff between "Item processed at local delivery facility" and "Item processed at postal facility"?

I always though local facility is last before out to delivery, but apperently it hit locally, and then was processed at the postal facility?

I hate Canada Post, I've had way to many issues with lost packages, late mail and general fuckery to use them anymore for anything besides .50C national mail.

I'm sick of it... Numerous issues here too...

In the past I've tried to stay clear of companies that ship via Canada Post... Only making certain exceptions...

As of now, I'm never purchasing from or doing business with another business who ONLY ships with Canada Post...

[nickyh]

I've had a package sitting at customs since May 18th in Vancouver according to the website, as of today it still shows it's there.

I know a guy who works for Canada Post, apparently if they do vote to stike it will be a long one.

I've had an issue like this before, you should be able to get a refund if you forked over extra money to have it delivered by a certain time.

But yeah, screw Canada Post, I've had my ebay seller rating screwed up because they can't deliver stuff on time, haha.

Apparently, the Union has sent Canada Post their offer. But they just haven't received it yet. A tracking case has been opened.

My mail man does the same thing, and as stupid as it is to not even try to actually deliver a package, it gets worse.

I got a card in my mailbox and went down to the post office the same day to pick it up. When I got there, they told me I had to come back tomorrow. See, even though they go to the same fucking mailboxes every day and know goddamn well they're not going to even try to actually deliver the package, they will still put it on the truck. So you have to wait for the mailman to get back to the post office and unload the truck before you can get whatever you're supposed to get.

I suggested to the woman at the post office that maybe it would be more efficient to just not put anything on the truck that they have no intention of delivering in the first place, and she had no idea what I meant. All she could say is that's how it works and to come back tomorrow.
