Purolator — Multiple delivery reschedules

I had a package shipped from Toronto on Nov 30th via Puralator. The package arrived in Edmonton on Wednesday, Dec 9th. On Thursday, Friday and Monday, I kept track of it and it was on the truck for delivery and every time, it ended up being taken back to the depot for rescheduled delivery. I called their customer service four times, waiting over an hour each time with nothing to show for all that effort. I have been instructed to fetch the package from their warehouse yet I explained to deaf ears that I use DATS (that's transit system service for persons with disability) and I have to book my trip ahead of time. I have no other means of transport to get the package from their depot which is located miles away in the west end of the city. I hope they do not treat all their customers the way they treated me and I do not think Puralator cares about their residential customers like they do with their corporate clients. In that same time frame, I have received multiple items via Canada Post with no single missed delivery attempt. I wish their was a channel to communicate with their executives to remind them about basic customer service and why it's lacking at their company.

    Purolator — Late package at first and then no update

    I pre-ordered a video game which was supposed to be delivered on Dec 10. It then had to be rescheduled for the next business day, which is understandable given the circumstances. The package ended up never being delivered and the package tracker did not update itself.

    I tried to contact their customer service to no success.

    All I need is at least an update on my package. Was it lost? Did the driver encounter problems? Transparency is needed.

    Thank you.

      Purolator — Delivery

      For the past 3 days, they have been telling me that my package is arriving on that day. I have been dressed and ready to run downstairs of my condo in case they get here. I am afraid they'll leave with a sticker on my door and get me to pick it up. On all of those 3 days, at around 8 pm, they say delivery has been scheduled for the next day. This is infuriating because I have not been able to get ANYTHING done these past few days waiting for them.
      This company doesn't even answer your call. There is probably no one even there to answer. I have been wanting to call and ask if I can come and pick up my package but even after more than 30 minutes of waiting on the phone, they didn't answer so I hung up. I have called twice now and the same thing!

      How in God's name are they still a thing. Why haven't they been out of business!? Why haven't they fixed any of the issues customers have complained about for years!

        Purolator — Incompetent shipping

        They ripped an important document right down the middle, almost in half. The document was well protected in a hard cover sleeve and box yet they took it out of the case and it looks almost intentionally ripped. I only found out when I received the package. No justice and customer support not only was rude but showed not responsibility.

          Purolator — Reckless driving. Damage to property.

          The driver came speeding into the court and down our driveway. He dropped the parcel off without ringing the doorbell and proceeded to turn around onto our lawn over our dog fence, narrowly missing our oak tree and leaving a rut on our lawn and mud on our driveway. He sped out of the driveway, stopped at the neighbours, and sped out of the court neglecting to stop at the stop sign before speeding down the road. This reckless driving is very alarming considering we have small kids and a puppy who often play outdoors, as do the other neighbours! It's only a matter of time until this driver causes serious injury or property damage!

            Purolator — Clothing

            Hello, I hope this message finds you well. I have heard many complaints regarding packages not being distributed because of "lazy drivers" and the performance exhibited by Purolator is satisfactory. Therefore, I kindly request for this situation to not occur with my package. I am on a very tight schedule and I urge for you to please bring my package ASAP. I have a package under the name of Tanya Sadana and the Tracking NO. [protected].
            Once again, I understand that there may be delays due to COVID-19, but I kindly ask you to please aim to bring my package by tomorrow (December 4, 2020).
            Thank you so much for your service.
            Warm Regards,
            Tanya

                  I ordered an audio interface from Best Buy, and it was shipped by Purolator. The package never arrived at my apartment even though i left the correct address, postal code, name, and apartment number when making the order. The driver simply checked the delivery off as completed but did not provide proof. Now, the package is missing and Purolator refused to help me. They launched an "investigation" that they later closed because they came to the conclusion that the GPS records show the package at my address and that the investigation is complete. Then they stopped replying to my emails and attempts to contact them. I called customer service three times and got zero help from them. The investigator on my case refuses to answer me and will provide no information on the package. Please avoid Purolator, they won't help you!

                    Purolator — Shipment

                    A lawn mower has been ordered from Costco and shipped through Purolator. Initially there was an error in the address which has been corrected as soon as we got the tracking. There is no update of status since July 13. Multiple phone calls have been made with customer support. Yesterday we received email asking how the product look like. When we called they could not provide any information about the product, they do not know where it is. Seems like product went missing. The status shows that it returned to sorting facility and waiting there forever.

                    We are very displeased and dissatisfied with the service of Purolator. The order has been shipped on July 2. It is taking forever to deliver a shipment.

                      I was expecting to receive a package from Purolator this morning. I was at home and the driver didn't bother to knock at the door not ring the door bell. He left delivery attempted notice on my door and I see package will be ready for pickup on 07/09 at nearby Purolator location to my house. Upon seeing this notice, I tried to contact chat representative and discussed about this issue and she said unfortunately she cannot help other than putting complain against the driver. I asked to at least make it available for pickup today to nearby Purolator location but she could not help. This is frustrating and pathetic service from Purolator. I lost my entire day without the package and it was very urgent for me to receive the package. I need my package by today under any circumstances
