Well folks. Today the bad news came. Canada Post lost a Tavor I sent on trade.
Last month, on July.21, I made a trade with a wonderful fellow in Ontario. I was to be sending my IWI Tavor away to a new home. I packaged up my rifle, carefully loading everything into the hardcase, and wrapping it up with enough tape and shipping wrap to keep it alive if it were thrown into a volcano. The next day, the Tavor was on it's way to it's new home and my new rifle was on it's way to me in Northern British Columbia.
After a week had gone by, I got my new rifle! Yay!....but no rifle for my friend in Ontario? We decided to check the tracking information - alas, it was last scanned in Edmonton. We dismissed the hold up and decided we'd be patient and wait...and wait we did.
After a week of patiently waiting, we thought something had to be up. We contacted CP and reported a package that had not been delivered. CP took over a week to get back to us, and with very little information of their progress. We contacted the RCMP and informed them of this rifle gone missing while in Canada Post's trust. The constable in charge essentially told me "That sucks. Can't really help you here...good luck!"....So much for that.
After several weeks of calling CP to try and get an agent to contact me, me and my recipient were left in the dark. Waiting for ANY information about what was happening. What steps were being taken. No one seemed to give a damn that a $3500 rifle and contents had just gone missing. Funny.
So today I get a call from CP and she outright tells me "Yeah, so we cant find the package. We looked all over and it is gone. I'll send you an email so you can make a claim. Thank you for choosing Canada Post."
You're welcome?
So, anyone have experience with this kind of nightmare? Because this sucks...
