Canada Post and their poor delivery service

[The_Rural_Juror]

So I thought that I would return the favour with the mailperson and leave him/her a gift in return. Unfortunately I am out of bananas, so I grabbed the last piece of produce that I had in my fridge.

I shoved as hard as I can but my bulb was just too girthy. Will have to return another day.

P.S. My mailbox is not a floozy.

Is this one of the new slots. I got my slot in 2012 and thought they would all look the same. I'm going to go shove my banana in there soon.

Looks like you got one of the older slots

[suntan]

Slots gonna slot.

I once had my mail lady straight up tell me "I don't deliver on Fridays. Just don't feel like it." Didn't know what to say.

Thats the one I have. Two bigger boxes on the bottom left.

Yeah. It is a new slot. I have experienced both new and old slots. Both have their pros and cons. The new slots are tighter but are more flexible because each mail unit would have more bigger boxes. The old slots can fit many onions but have less impressive boxes.

New one is more of a slot than a box, or so it seems. Lets discuss the pros and cons of boxes v slots

What a riveting discussion this has turned into

Square boxes means they fold everything magazine sized.

Flat boxes usually are too thin for most peoples fat arms, and the mailperson always throws the mail to the absolute back of the box. Why is it that normal people need a "sticky hand", or a pair of chopsticks to get their mail...

I went a few communities over to try and find some of these shiny new boxes but all the newer communities (1 year old) only had the square ones. Im guessing its the super boxes they roll out to the old communities?

The new boxes are the ones they rolled out recently in inner city neighborhoods. I've seen them in Tuxedo.

FTFY

So off I go to Canada Post with my prepaid package to go to the states (I did a ship item on ebay through Canada Post/Pay Pal) She says this is UPS, no this is Canada Post I says, so she scans the USPS tracking number and tells me its not in the system and to send via UPS

She can't tell the difference between UPS and USPS WTF!, so now I'm going to have to go back with my receipt that I printed off saying you have successfully created a Canada Post shipping label.

Weird, the label should still say Canada Post on it. Won't say USPS until they slap a sticker on it at the border.
