Problems with Canada Post

[Kams Cats]

My regular postie is great. Does his job well and is always polite. When he goes on vacation though, watch out! Then we run the risk of having our mail fall into a black hole, never to be seen again.

I personally have had many issues with CP... They often dont even leave a friggin card. Luckily the depot is just around the corner, but if it says out for delivery, leave the damn card at least. I have to track them or I wouldn't even know they came.

FedEx... they suck... terrible delivery hours in my area, and always seem to tack on a fee of sorts, and good luck disputing it...

UPS / Purolator. The delivery guy and I are on first name basis. He's great, always polite, and never just drops off a card. I'm not looking forward to his retirement, but after 30 years of deliveries, he deserves it.

The higher level of service which includes brokerage is near double the price to the shipper south of border.

There was an occasion where I had to ship something from the US to my company back home. It was cheaper for me to pay "Standard Ground" paying their brokerage fee in Canada than it was to select the "Express Saver" next up service.

UPS is great when you are shipping something of high value that must get there, I used them all the time for business to business . However if I am ordering something personal up from the US valued under $500, I dread it being sent UPS.

Oh yes, no doubt it costs more but in the times I've used it I've calculated the extra shipping cost for worldwide saver to actually cost less than if I were to play Russian Roulette with UPS' extra charge scheme and hope for the best and the package is always here in no more than 3 days and often, if ordered early enough in the day, it is here next day. Sometimes it's just worth it.

I use to have problems with the postal person never ringing the bell and just leaving a slip. But the new guy I have now is great.

The best way to get yer fix, pick up the juice from Ian at Welcome To Maple Leaf Vapes. He will meet you for a pick up if you are near by.
