Canada Post Love-Hate and All Things "Shipping" Thread

Folks have differing levels of tolerance for the frailties of humanity in others... I discern that Ted is a pretty magnanimous individual... and then others are on the opposite end of the spectrum; "surly & self-centered"... I too, am curious who that seller is, because with a carton shipped in that fashion, they have no business selling or shipping... I hope we never cross paths.

The other issue with the feedback system, is that retaliatory feedback can end up hurting you more than the perpetrator.

EE feedback aside, life is much more serene and fulfilling if you are able to let things go, and trust to karma or judgement day (as you prefer), for the ways of the wicked to be repaid.

you are right Ted is really above most of us on believing on the humane nature. some are really fast to thrown him stones, while he wasnt about him. guys just focus on the Kurgan rifle.

all the best.

Its my experience too that express post is the same time as just regular parcel. Ottawa down to Windsor, up to Halifax, or anywhere else along the way... the time is no different, sometimes even faster with regular mail.

I guess if you are going from Halifax to Vancouver maybe then you want to do express post. Not if its even semi local.

If you talk to a postie that knows his stuff, they will let you know if it is worthwhile. Some routes there is no 'quicker' way than what standard mail would get you. Others there is a great time savings. But generally if it's within a days drive, it isn't going to save anything, because it will be tossed in the truck along with all the common folk's mail.
 
I never had issues with Canada Post or any other type of transportation company. Never had an issue with EE either, with the 40 transactions to date.

I'm surprised that you would comment on a trader rating feedback post since you gave 2 negative's last year and you also have the false "stolen" rifle accusations you filed against IRUNGUNS only a week or so ago to account for......... I guess all must have been forgiven, eh ?
 
Wrong Way said:
So.... Ummmm.....any particular reason why a scan through your "feedback left for others" doesn't show a (single) negative?? Jeeze....you'd think that a CGN would want to warn other good people here. Pretty hard to know who not to buy from when there's no accurate feedback left on bad sellers trader ratings....I wonder how many others have been screwed as a result.

I don't think that I've ever heard Ted say anything bad about anyone. It's actually quite a nice change from the way most people operate.

P.S - if it is marked as a firearm it might be on it's way back to the sender... CP's new policy on firearms is that they MUST be shipped regular post with signature required... Xpress Post is no longer an option for firearms... some pissy CP worker might have caught that and sent it back.

Not a "new" policy.

Just because you do it doesn't mean it's legal.

You are so wrong it is stupid... why would you think such a thing? I send and receive over a hundred a year that way... and my post office and my delivery person is fully aware they are firearms.

Lszwajda has already posted the reference to firearms being defined as non-mailable matters unless VERY specific steps are taken, including the fact that there is only ONE type of service allowed depending on the type of customer you are, and it doesn't include Expresspost.

Not only that but, because of that and the Storage, Display, Transportation and Handling of Firearms by Individuals Regulations (SOR/98-209), it's actually a criminal offense (section 86.(2)) to ship a firearm using expresspost.

16. An individual may ship a firearm by posting it only if

(a) the firearm is a non-restricted firearm, restricted firearm or prohibited handgun;

(b) the destination is within Canada; and

(c) the firearm is posted using the most secure means of transmission by post that is offered by the Canada Post Corporation that includes the requirement to obtain a signature on delivery.

SOR/2004-277, s. 4.

The ONLY service offerred by Canada Post to ship firearms is the one stated on the page referenced by Lszwajda. Any other service is a breach of the regulations.

86. (1) Every person commits an offence who, without lawful excuse, uses, carries, handles, ships, transports or stores a firearm, a prohibited weapon, a restricted weapon, a prohibited device or any ammunition or prohibited ammunition in a careless manner or without reasonable precautions for the safety of other persons.

Contravention of storage regulations, etc.

(2) Every person commits an offence who contravenes a regulation made under paragraph 117(h) of the Firearms Act respecting the storage, handling, transportation, shipping, display, advertising and mail-order sales of firearms and restricted weapons.

Punishment

(3) Every person who commits an offence under subsection (1) or (2)

(a) is guilty of an indictable offence and liable to imprisonment

(i) in the case of a first offence, for a term not exceeding two years, and

(ii) in the case of a second or subsequent offence, for a term not exceeding five years; or​

(b) is guilty of an offence punishable on summary conviction.

R.S., 1985, c. C-46, s. 86; 1991, c. 40, s. 3; 1995, c. 39, s. 139.

One interpretation of "stupid" is admitting on a public forum the fact that one commits criminal acts over a hundred times a year.
 
Here is hoping that the OP's prized rifle is simply late or "in transit" unofficially. It could be that it is on its way back to you as well. Either way, odds are very good that you will have a relieved reunion in the very near future.

This is a myth perpetuated by the uninformed...and it's that type of misinformation which yields our feedback system next to useless. Perhaps a refresher on the rules is required?

A seller can *not* leave retaliatory feedback. In fact, they (sellers) can not leave a negative at all. It's right there in black and white...see for yourself.

I was screwed by a seller on the EE - a real wacko. I should have known better as he had a previous negative rating but I figured one negative isn't the end of the world. Anyways I left him a negative rating, he tried to leave me a negative but I reported it and it was changed to neutral.

The sad part is, I have had two other members since pm me about them also being screwed by this clown - but both left him positive ratings because he threatened them - this is total bs. So he keeps on screwing people....

Now if I have any gut feelings, or warning signs - I walk away. The chance of a good deal isn't worth being screwed.

Why not? said:
Surely not?

Received this package from a CGN member...




... who is still advertising firearms for sale here.



Great packing job! Arrived just as you see it. :runaway:



Back on the original topic, I would not lose a lot of sleep yet, Kurgan. I had one that went from here to the East coast, then back to BC, before it got delivered properly there

Best,
Ted
