Canada Post parcel delivery

Why is it you have an expected date on your site when that date is never correct? I have a parcel sitting in Gateway Sorting facility longer then it took to arrive at the location.

This is a pathetic disgrace that this is taking place and should not be the case. It is not the first time I have encountered this and I am sure it will not be the last as you are well known for issues like this.

You cannot tell me that it takes over 8 days for a package to go through the system and be delivered from Mississauga to Mississauga it is a gisgrace that this is the case. Not to mention that the postal workers are getting lazier and lazier each day and do not give a damn how they deliver items such as those that state not to drop ship and they do it anyway.

It is high time you become accountable for your actions and the postal workers actions and fix the broken system and not come up with excuse after lame excuse.

Canada Post mail not delivered to or from taber alberta

Please refer to Ticket Number [protected] for the Card I sent TO Taber (from Edmonton) back in December.

The reason I believe there might be theft of mail, is because now a Mother's Day card that was sent to me from Taber, has not arrived, although another card from Taber, sent from the same Taber mail box, at the exact same time arrived. Both cards had return addresses, and both cards were mailed to:

405, 17150 - 94A Avenue
Edmonton, AB T5T 6L7

Although my son thinks this is just a coincidence, I don't believe it should happen twice. I also don't think I should have to send my mail express post (traceable) to ensure that it is delivered.

I am asking for an investigation into Taber's Post Office, and a delivery or return of these cards.

Thank you.

Canada Post parcel delivery

In 393 portage avenue Winnipeg Manitoba I had a shoppers drug mart manager harass me and make false accusations of assault to my place of employment at Canada post as letter carrier on May 15th 2017. There were 3 altercations at 10am, 2pm, and 3pm where I was attempting to deliver and pick up mail.

The manager first confronted me when I delivered 1 missorted package to the postal outlet in the store demanding I take the box back and deliver it to the back of the building. I said it is already delivered I am new and will now know next time. He followed me out of the store demanding I take the box and my name.

I returned at 2pm to do a pick up and he continued to harass me asking me if I liked my job I said yes and laughed and he said its not funny and he was going to complain. I said I couldn't wait any longer and would be back at 3pm for the pick up as I had other items to deliver . He said no you have to wait. And I said I could not. When I came back at 3pm he answered the door again and said I would never enter the store and followed me out with my parcels so I forgot to scan the door and had to buzz again he answers the door and I say I forgot to scan my barcode and did. He calls my place of work and said I tried to hit him.

Absolutely unethical behaviour slandering fellow employees I'm ashamed to be involved in this incident and will be taking legal action against him immediately.

My contact number for more information is [protected]

Thank you,

Amber Muir

Canada Post canada post customer service

This happened on May 12th, 2017 at around 6:45 pm. Basically I said that I purchased 1 stamp to the US for around $1.08 not including taxes. Mind you, I was off by a little bit. According to the Canada Post website rates for single stamps, up to 30 g $1.00 and over 30 g - 50 g is $1.20. He boastfully and cockily insisted that the rates haven't changed for 5 years it's $1.20 without specifying the exact weight. In addition to this rude and disrespectful behavior, he said that there was something wrong with me while making the lunatic hand gesture in my face. Even if I'm wrong, I do not deserve to be treated this way. I would suggest the manager in charge immediately reprimand the employee. If he's the owner of that particular location, I feel sorry for his customers. Overall, the worst customer service I've ever received from Canada Post. Disgusting.

Canada Post canada post at brentwood village mall

On May 9, I had to pick up a registered item from this location. I arrived at approx. 2:10 to find the store closed with a sign indicating they would return in 25 minutes. One woman traveled in and out of the store giving the excuse each time that she needed to close in order to get lunch. Then she needed to get soap because there wasn't any in the public washroom?!? There were 3 of them in the backroom of the store "having lunch" despite the 3 people waiting outside. Regrettably, this is where Canada Post brings my mail otherwise I would never return. I am certain that Canada Post could find a more suitable location for this outlet. Please read the customer reviews for this location; there is a problem which, in the end, is not good publicity for Canada Post.

Canada Post small business solutions

When will Canada Post finally offer affordable, trackable shipping options for small businesses with low volumes? Canada Post kills jobs, Canada Post kills businesses, Canada Post kills the Canadian economy by not providing competitive shipping options! This is not my personal thing, this is a political disaster. The government should open their eyes and force Canada Post to provide the missing service. Online business in Canada is almost impossible, because every Canadian customer can have everything available in the US and the rest in the world for a fraction of the shipping costs Canada Post charges us. Canada Post causes the Canadian market lacking on online businesses dealing with low value products. Almost everything with a value of less than 5-10 Dollar comes from China, or even USA, because Canadian businesses don't have the opportunity to get their products shipped for just about 5 Dollar or even less. And on this point, Canada Post with their high-price product strategy and their outdated 20mm limit for letter mail products is responsible for some hundred million revenue per year going to foreign countries. This is where the politics needs to kick in, and to force Canada Post to update their products to today's market requirements.

Canada Post driver - behaviour

This morning, May 3, at 8:25 a.m. I was driving south on Vanier Parkway/Riverside, approaching the stop light at Industrial, when I was beside one of your trucks. The truck was moving side to side, within its lane, but erratic. As it was stopping at the light, the driver slammed the brakes on several times, causing the truck to lurch forward. While the truck was stopped, it was rocking back and forth, and I could see the driver in the truck physically moving inside, back and forth. This was happening the entire time the truck was stopped at the light. Once the light changed, the truck turned onto Industrial, and I turned up Alta Vista, so I lost sight of it.
This behaviour appeared quite irrational, and concerned me quite a bit. I am fairly certain that this is not the behaviour Canada Post wishes represented.

Canada Post drivers of step vans on bathurst.

Dear Sirs

Standing at the intersection of Bathurst and Nina St. May 2 2017 on the west side waiting to cross, not one but two Canada Post step vans clearly went speeding through an obvious red light. This was at 9:25 am in a school zone, thank goodness all the kids were in school. This was totally reckless driving on the part of your employees . I hope that someone in charge of this route will be advised of this. i have seen poor driving before at this intersection before but this takes the cake.

Canada Post packages not brought to mail box, doesn't pick up mail

Recently, we got a new mailman. When we order a package, he doesn't bother to put it in our mailbox/bring to our door, he just writes up a "notice card" for us to pick up our parcel at the Canada post office. I own a business and receive packages quite regularly, so this is very inconvenient. Also, today (April 26, 2017) he didn't pick up our mail even though our flag was up. We are very disappointed in this new mail man

Canada Post document with tracking missing in mail and no proper answer to inquiries.

Dear Sir/ Madam,
Subject: Document missing. Tracking number RN [protected] CA
i called twice to find out why the document had not been delivered for so long. The response was that it is in limbo at customs without access to any other avenue to ensure it is delivered.
I have to mention that it is a time related document and so its delivery should have been as scheduled.
Please look into this matter.
Thank you

Canada Post delivery standards

They have consistently delayed packages coming from the uk and just talked to an agent that says they will only track items coming form the us.
They have actually lost packages and I was smugly told the only way to put a trace is if the sender requests it (As if was the senders problem not the lazy bums at canadapost)
Their system used to be reliable to me up until this year and they still have the gall to complain about people not supporting them; why should we support mediocrity?
I will have to start using other carriers

Canada Post mail delivery

Our mail delivery is all over the place. Sometimes we go days without getting any. Sometimes it ends up at the wrong place. Sometimes we don't get it until 5pm. This is unacceptable. How can a person run a business? We are a commercial business and there are three businesses at our location and there should always be mail. I talked to other businesses in the area and they have the same complaint. This week we haven't had mail April 24 and 25 and we haven't seen any sign of him today either.

Canada Post mail delivery

Since they stopped allowing tracking packages from China for Ebay purchases I have now lost over 20 yes 20 packages in 3 months.

I can see the items make is to mississauga or Richmond then they just vanish!

I call they don't seem to care. Obviously something weird is going on and nobody at customer service cares. Its all just run around after run around. Even packages I pay express post take 2 weeks to come and the delivery man doesn't even attempt deliver or leave the slip, my regular mailman brings the slip 2 days later dated 2 days before. Every. Time. I do all my shopping for lots of things online and I can't get anything delivered it's a joke.

The few times I did get a delivery it was left in plain sight in Surrey in front of my door!

Any other company that even attempted to run like this would be shut down. I don't need endless supplies of junk mail I want the stuff I paid for that I know is being stolen.

Any package without signature needed goes missing and my regular mailman also ends up bringing those.

You should be ashamed!

The same thing is happening to me, tracking takes 3 - 8 days to enter Canada then stops, weeks, many weeks go by and no packages?
I have talked to others and find that some packages (guessing some that has sat idle for weeks) just get sent back easier to load them on a boat than to deliverer them.

Your are right they should be ashamed!

MAKES ME want to go POSTAL !
