[DustMagnet]

Good news:

2012/11/08 13:19 MONTREAL Item processed at postal facility
2012/11/08 09:19 MONTREAL Item was released by Customs and is now with Canada Post for processing
2012/11/08 09:14 VILLE ST-LAURENT International item arrived in Canada and will be reviewed by Customs
2012/10/30 01:04 CHZRHB,Switzerland International item has left the origin country and is en route to Canada
2012/10/30 01:02 CHZRHB,Switzerland International item processed in origin country

My package cleared customs in five minutes?

Bad news:

2012/11/09 12:38 SIDNEY Canada Post processing error; item re-routed. Possible delay

Oh no, they sent it to Australia!

I assume (wrongly?) that since they don't specify, there is only one Sidney and that is the one 30 minutes from here. Given that, they must have caught the error, as there is no way they transported this package from Montreal to Vancouver Island overnight. Does that mean that the package must travel to Sidney to be bounced back down?

"Canada Post processing error found; item re-routed to correct delivery location"

Fuckers

I shall be called Grumpy Grumpy for the next lil while....




This is what it should've look like


There's nothing left to salvage, even the rubber band got tore up.

Found this in middle of a road in my community as I drive home today. Not sure what happened.
Canada Post CS was 5% useful.
Can I file a complaint against the person who deliver it? NO
Was it the mail man or the truck driver who was suppose to deliver it? Can't tell you
Can I file a complaint? NO
What can I do? tell the sender to file a complaint
But this damage is clearly result of Canadian side (with the stuff inside soak with snow)! Doesn't matter.


Oh for your info, I tried to snap the broken pieces, they're quite strong. There's no way you can break these by smashing with any kind of throw.

Yikes :shock: Were there tire marks on the box?

[COL.TIKER]

In the middle of the road? Probably run over then. Good thing you even found it lol.

[Danke]

Yesterday I was checking tracking #s on a box of parts from Airsoft Parts Canada and set of Goggles from the classifieds and they both showed still in transit.

I asked myself "why is it so long to come from Ontario" and about an hour later the Postman was at the door with both boxes.

WTF.
Mind if I translate it and repost this to a Chinese forum? I want to let my friends know that China post is not the worst in the world... I will state the original author (you) and link to this original post.

Canada Post's shipping calculator is retarded.

Observe. Shipping a small item internationally with the dimensions of (LWH) 10 x 5 x 6 will cost at least $36

But shipping the same item in a box with the dimension of (LWH) 23 x 10 x 9 will cost at cheapest $9 for surface and $17 for air.

What the fuck?

So I asked the post office worker and she said that the machines have a harder time grabbing small boxes or something.

How retarded.

[Syphlyn]

Got my order 1 day before the "expected date" yet to open it but seems to be is untouched condition - the box anyways.

Their tracking, and especially their email notifications, are useless. Sometimes I get the email a week after it was delivered, sometimes (now) I'm supposed to get an item, it's 2 days late but I have absolutely no information of its whereabouts.

[Deaf_shooter]

order stuff from usa and pay extra for express that promise me 3-5 business days, only service this website provide was USPS which deliver all way to Canada Border and hand it to Canada Postal for last part of trip.

It went from one end of Canada to the other because it originated in Los Angeles and entered the country in BC. What do you want them to do, use transporter technology?

Winnipeg is in middle of Canada and much close to BC than GTO area, so why need to sent to Mississauga?

It would certainly give them a competitive edge... I recently lost a $300 camera to USPS between toronto and newyork, as if the first guy that touched the box took it... so I can't complain too much about canada post atm myself.
