    Last time I had a Canpar delivery it went something like this. Driver pulls up. Grabs package. Hands it to me. I sign for it. Then he practially yells so loud the entire neighbourhood can hear it "What's in the box? A gun?"

    When I pay Canpar to be 21 Jumpstreet, I will let them know.

    Ya I like this idea so I don't have to drive to the other side of the world to pick up my parcel when I miss the delivery.

    I'm not sure if pickup was the issue. I think it's what they did (or didn't do) after pick up was the problem.

    I'm not impressed with it. After being given the wrong pick up warehouse address initially, I turned around and started driving to this new satellite affiliate. On arrival the building complex had no visible legal address that I could find, I had to go by GPS and counting from other addresses on the road. Some of the signs were in english, so I had that going for me. There was no signage for Canpar. I called their support line for some help. A solution for locating where their affiliate was resulted in a call back, since they has to do some searching themselves where it might be. The furthest I got with the call back was it was a courier business located in another business somewhere in that complex. At least I had the complex right. None of the english signs had the affiliates name or ever a CanPar logo. I was going to start going from store to store asking, or hopefully coming across this affiliate, but fortunately came to my senses before I reduced myself further this hide and seek game Canpar was playing. I called the support line again and I had the package returned to the shipper.

    So instead of the worlds worst courier service, they're handing it off to gas station workers. Honestly Canpar is the reason I stopped buying from Canada Ammo. Its that bad where I live. I have pretty much a 2 week window after the delivery date, after the sorting facilities lose track of it, after it goes MIA with a delivery guy that doesn't answer his phone and they have no idea where this guy is with my guns and ammo in his van, he randomly shows up. Way past delivery date. Now my package will be left at a gas station. I'll wait to hear from others before I place an order.
    WTB full semiautomatic assault rifles, double barrel extended magazine clips, 30 magazine clips (half second or better), shoulder things that go up and high power ammo that can go through walls.

    They and DHL Loomis have been doing this for some time now at our local pharmacy. Way better for me (who lives way out of town and gets courier deliveries to a friend in town) This way I don't have to wait to meet the courier.

    It might take a trip or two to figure out your local procedure, but mine is like this:

    Me: "Hi, I've got 4 packages from Canpar,

    Them : "Okay, here sign this, I'll go get your packages"

    Me: "They are really heavy, I'm already parked in the loading bay, I'll meet you there"



    Canpar has been mostly great for me. They lost track of one shipment, once. Considering I get dozens of packages, that's ok.

    I would stick my dick in a bee hive before I'd voluntarily deal with Can Par.
