I personally have never had a problem with Canada Post. I even managed (much to my shock) to get my Dad in Ont. his Christmas present on time.

I was so sure it wouldn't get there on time I called my Dad and explained to him that he might not get his gift by Christmas but hopefully he would get it before New Years. I sent it express post Friday afternoon Dec.21 and he got it Mon. Dec.24 on Christmas eve no less! Needless to say I was impressed.

I have never had a problem delivering with Canada Post.

I like them better for the minimal $5 cross border fees.

Be careful for a couple of things:

-if you order something from the states and it gets damaged, each Canada Post will blame USPS and vice versa, and you may be screwed.

-they say they tried to deliver things (but sometimes don't cause they are lazy) About 5 times now I have seen the post man deliver a notice to our group mailbox about 4 homes away, then I check the tracking number on-line and it said an attempted delivery was made but no one was at home (WRONG, I was there watching him, no attempted delivery was made)! Then I have to go to the PO to pick it up. What a lazy ...................

I never have problems getting stuff across the boarder. My problem mostly lies in the "attempted" delivery issues, and the absurd amount of times that they loose my packages.

I'm trying to finish up a claim for an item I rec'ed damaged and I can't get it shipped out to be inspected! I have the forms and the broken package and for some strange reason I have to ship them to Toronto.. they don't have inspectors in Edmonton? The worst part is the postal outlet employees don't know how to ship if or give me a tracking number. They asked me who's paying for the shipping, huh? You damaged it, and it says right on my forms no further postage fees will be charged!

I always get a "final notice" to pickup packages at the post office. I'm lucky it's only a block away but OMG half the time I get there it's a tiny package with a cross stitch or a book in it. They couldn't deliver something THAT small?!

One time I ordered a serger online for my mum-in-law. It arrived and the box was all smashed in and it had HUGE "fraglie" stickers all over it. Luckily it wasn't damaged but I did want to complain about it anyway.

They have been mis-delivering my mail to who knows for the last year. Some stuff makes it some doesn't and when I ask about it they are like "I dunno". Even putting in several formal complaints didn't help.

i had canada post loose a shipment of mine right before christmas only to complain to thier complaints department and have them tell me it was at my post office it took 6 trips to the post office for the dummys to find the package in the back of thier storage area. and after all that the package was found int a destroyed state (someone somewhere ran it over)and they claimed no responsability. if you have time you should check the canada post web site for their policies. lets just say their extra insurance doesnt give you sweet F$%^ All, i will never ship Canada post again

I just got a Christmas card from my brother today. He lives in New York (well, across the Hudson in New Jersey actually, but it's all one big city anyway and New York sounds cooler). Granted he left it a tad late as the postmark indicated it was sent Dec 24th. So I should have gotten this about 3 weeks ago, no? Well he got the street name wrong (Dufflin instead of Dupplin), but he got the postal code right. So I guess it took the PO 3 weeks to figure out that Dufflin is Dupplin .

Cheers,

Yesterday I received a package for something I had shipped to me at the beginning of December. The package was so damaged that the books inside were like puffy paper mache blobs! It came to me from Ontario.
