WOW! I mean really Canada Post!

[vise]

We've all done our fair share of bashing Canada Post over the years as we've patiently waited for our vapemail, only to be disappointed with having to wait another day (or over the weekend). But I've always been one to give credit where credit is due, and I'm totally shocked to be saying this, but this time (first ever) Canada Post has done a fantastic job, and exceeded it's own service expectation!

I placed an order with one of my favorite vendors on the afternoon of Wednesday January 23. The item was accepted at the Dartmouth N.S. Post office at 9:49 A.M Thursday January 24th. Guess what I have in my hands today at 10:15 A.M Friday, January 25th? Yup, my order that I placed on Wednesday afternoon! In just over 24 over hours from when the package was accepted at the post office in Dartmouth, N.S. it traveled just over 4,826 km to my mailbox! I am absolutely shocked and amazed that I got my order delivered in 24 hours! On a good day(s) I get orders delivered from B.C. in 2 days (on average 3 days).

Either I got extremely lucky with this delivery, or else Switcher is a commercial airline pilot and he flew the order out personally! Here's a screenshot of the Canada Post tracking page. I'm going to frame it because I doubt I'll ever experience this again!

You're correct...you got extremely lucky with that delivery! They do surprise us from time to time

 

[BuzzKilla]

i guess someone was being audited that day... lol

Check this one out. This was my first order from canvape. Expected delivery was the 11th, they then pushed it back to the 14th.

Extreme weather conditions was 2cm of snow over the course of the day. I was choked when I saw that at first. They pulled through though and even made it a day early from the original date

It is a bit of a mystery, NS to AB in 2 - 3 days. I think Switcher has pull with CP.

The question is how can a package from NS be delivered within the same time period as a package coming from ON or BC?

 

[ridethespiral]

Maybe Halifax has it's own CP hub? Then it just flew straight to edmonton.

This is all speculation though

or it was sent priority...

 

[nuclearbroccoli]

That's not Canada Post being fast - I think your supplier is psychic. They just sent the order a week early, and Canada Post messed up the tracking.
That's much more believable....

Nope, Expresspost. Like I said, I'm totally shocked that it arrived in 24 hours! On average it takes an expresspost package 4 days from Dartmouth to my mailbox, but not this time. I have a theory though that maybe CP hired some new people along the line that weren't aware of the CP delivery expectations and processed the package quicker. Or...maybe Switcher DOES have some pull at the post office?

That seems more plausible!

Mine looks very similar to that except that it shows at 1/24/2013 00:04 MISSISSAUGA in transit and hasn't updated since, but it is supposed to be delivered on Mon. I expected an Edmonton update this morning or tonight, but nope.

Mine has one more transfer after Edmonton so for it to be there Monday it really should have processed in the plant tonight.

I like happy endings

 

[Smile n' shine]

That is amazing!
I wonder if CP hired new people who work harder. I recently sent a parcel to BC from ON and it was received in less than 5 days.
Most family packs I send out take 8-10 days. Something has changed, but I think you were really lucky.

Which vendor is this? I live in Halifax and was unaware of a vendor so close to me.

I think: JR Custom Turnings

 

[Esharp]

Well, I ordered a Joyethech Evic on Wed. around 8:30 at night from Toronto, and it was in my mailbox on Friday when I got home from work. And Friday we were getting hit pretty good with a snow storm. I'm impressed!!!

 

[CPT.SPALDING]

I think: JR Custom Turnings

It sure is.
Also my new favorite Canadian vendor.

 

[martinc]

Its not just CP but the vendor that has knowledge of when to drop a package so it gets there quickly...

Time of drop could mean next morning or 2 days for expresspost

Like the package I ordered from Canvape (over $100,so free shipping)got it next morning(friday) even though it was scheduled for today

 

[blaufisch]

Yep, i've had some good luck lately too. My deliveries from canvape have been arriving in less than 48 hours of ordering, including one during the recent snow storm. Liking the trend, now i'm spoiled
