    We have a lot of very rural clients, clients with PO boxes, etc, CP is the best option to reach everyone. Couriers work great in populated areas, but not so much outside of that. Our AB warehouse is quite rural, couriers are much more expensive shipping from location as well.

    The problem for me was, they didn't try to deliver my rifle to my door, just sent me a notice to get it from the Post office. Which works for NR, but what if it's a R gun purchase~will update on it when my pistol arrives in a week or so. I think I will need a ATT for me to go pick it up from Post office to my home? Maybe i am wrong,and I hope they do deliver it to my door.

    Just received delivery of a non-restricted 5 minutes ago. Was shipped from the retailer as expedited parcel, over 18 with signature.

    Was left at my door without taking my signature. The postie did ring the doorbell though.

    First time in almost a year that they’ve delivered to my door. All of my other parcels that required a signature were sent directly to the postal outlet with a notice card in my mailbox.

    Delivered a day early to boot! Maybe CP is finally getting their act together.

    2. delver the card the same or next day or even later as a BAU letter mail.
    3. the package is directed to the postal office the same or next or later day,
    4. you have to wait until it shows ready for pick-up in the system,
    5. and then you go there to get it
    This has also been my experience, I am used to it now.

    Completely agree...

    We've moved out to the rurals and Canada Post has been really good to us in the last mile.

    my last one through cp was a shotgun, came right to our building instead of notice to pick up at depot, could have handed it to a stranger in the lobby, was just asking who is in apt yadayada to anyone present, good thing the wifey showed up, no age verification, no signature, no id, but i do have to say that anything from ontario going east has been good for eta.

Why straight up lie to me, why not just put online, pickup at post office.
    Because of covid, signatures will only be collected at the Post Office, and those working there are usually not CP unionized workers.

    If I order something that can only be delivered via CP.....I specify that I will pick up the package at the local Authorized CP "store" when notified.
    Less chance of some filthy animal picking up the package off my door step.
