I think I know... maybe not... but I won't get back to you, since I lost 5 minutes of my life too much already.

Just had a chance to get an explanation from Canpar re "not home but somebody else is home".

If you look carefully at the tracking info (Canpar.com), there are 2 services listed:

Services:
Ground
Chain of Signature

Which means they do their work as asked - only YOU can sign for delivery. That's for protection of everybody involved.

Not a bad idea when shipping firearms IMHO. But the delivery hours SUCK BIG TIME!

Having said this, CanadaAmmo ROCKS!!!

I am very happy with Canadaammo, but wish they'd offer an option for shipping with Canada Post. I'd even pay more - here's why: Canpar in their wisdom, only do M-F daytime deliveries, exactly when no-one is home. They will attempt multiple deliveries, when no-one's home, then you have to cut work early to drive 20 kms to the one depot in the city, that's open (you guessed it) M-F until 6.

Exactly !! I figured I could pick up my blueing tank at a local drop off centre when I get home. Only the closest centre is Burnaby which is where Can Ammo is located. 150 km each way. Kind of defeats the purpose of shipping. LOL. So it got returned, Can AM changed the shipping to my wife's work, and her name so she could sign. This was the most frustrating delivery company I have ever dealt with. Luckily, CAN AM was so quick to resolve the problem. I will pay to ship can post next time. Not for ammo though. Or ship everything to my wife's work. CANPAR truly does suck.

I'm a courier and nothing is more important than the good toys ,I can't help the managers screw ups or acts of God weather wise but I work hard so I can buy fun stuff l. And believe me I care more about the cool stuff than Amazon Walmart etc if a company ships you something in a paper bag that's them being stupid the system is jammed pack it like you care seriously trucks are stuffed and there's no help soon it's only getting worse so be nic to the person who brings it you never know they could be next to you at the range.

You can request mail for all but ammo. Just put it in the notes.

We will pass on your feed back to canpar.

I've had bad times with Canpar in my area too. But yes, I requested Canada Post on my last order because of this. There seemed to be no issue on CanAm's end at least as far as I'm aware of, my blood pressure remained constant and normal throughout, and no hairs were pulled from my head.
