    I’m sorry but the perfect storm that I see is a completely entitled and consequence free workforce who routinely just don’t do their jobs. Everybody else is fine, CP is the perfect argument against public sector unions.

    You can have issues with any of them. UPS has lost all of my business. I'd rather ship CP than anyone else.

    It has to start somewhere. It has to start sometime.
    What better place than here? What better time than now?

    Canada Post has been dropping the ball lately.

    I think they way issues have been handled shows they lack management, customer service, and don't care about fixing their problems.

    I understand that times have changed over the last year, so you would think that Canada Post would adapt. They haven't.

    Their tracking system is absolute trash.

    The call centre is useless.
    - they can't do anything more than you can. They must use the same Canada Post website that customers use
    - they are extremely rude
    - they can not solve any problems
    - all they ask is "Is there anything else I can help you with?"

    The insurance is a scam
    - they have more ways out of reimbursement for lost or damaged good than they do for honoring the agreement
    - it takes FOREVER to be reimbursed

    With the amount of extra business they are getting, you'd think they would want to pick up their game. Obviously they dont give 2 shlts. Typical of a government run business and public service union.

    What does that have to do with delay issues? They have homes too and order on line I am sure. I think you are wrong to blame the workers.

    Canada Post has been as good as you'd expect given the very difficult situation they find themselves in. They are still my preferred shipping option.
    We'll see how my 2 pending firearm purchases go though. I did have one pistol show up in the community mailbox. Thankfully they put it in the right compartment. That doesn't happen with all my mail.

    Just a suggestion
    There is limited shipping companies available, the Canada post complaining comes up all the time in my opinion Canada post is probaly one of the better. No shipping company is perfect grass is always greener.

    Yup I have shipped hundreds of parcels with CP, and other carriers.
    CP has gone into the crapper, and are becoming unfriendly to the firearms community
