CanadaAmmo partners with Fedex for improved service

I don't have much luck with fedex over the years and i quit using them completely a few years ago. I'd pay extra NOT to use Fedex - and I do exactly that quite regularly. :)

Guess I'll just have to stick exclusively to buying guns and ammo. :)
 
Canpar has greatly improved their service here recently. Maybe they are listening, and I have to believe that CanAm is a noticeable chunk of their business and we are a significant source of whining.

Same, I love canpar! Only really deal with them with canam, but they have been amazingly fast comming to Alberta, always prompt and friendly service, far better than ups by miles. No real complains with FedEx but I find canpar has always been faster.

Maybe when dealing with Easter Canada canpar drops the ball? I have heard people complaining about CanPar, but absolutely love them here.
 
Will it be an option? Simply asking because, as others said above, in rural areas that FedEx doesn't serve direct it isn't always the best option. I had a package come from Ontario via FedEx... tracking showed it made it to within 25 minutes of my door then stated "Area not served by FedEx, pick up at depot" and the nearest depot they sent it to was 4 hours away...
I would happily pay for a shipping choice personally (I have only had good experiences with CanPar myself)
 
I think its great when a business works to offer more/better service for their customers. Im not the least bit surprised that a bunch of people complain when they do though. Seems to me gun nutz are among the whiniest people on the planet... and least likely to actually DO anything about their complaints.

I have no complaints about Canpar either and am among the many who does not get decent service from FedEx... but I do appreciate CanAm's efforts to offer more options to their customers. Can Am is a GREAT company... I have nothing bad to say at all.
 
CanPar has been excellent so far with typically next day delivery.

Is there a choice, can we select CanPar.

Nobody was complaining about Can Ammo. Some of us pointed out that Fedex does not service rural areas and has a poor reputation. I expect it's not such a big deal unless you're the one that has to drive 4 hours to pick up your parcel. LOL

Not sure about firearms but i know UPS does ammo. They provide service that equals Fedex (at least here in the east)

It does seem somewhat ironic for a company with "Ammo" in their name to partner with a shipping company that refuses to handle ammunition.

And FedEx is pretty anti-gun. They have a no-gun policy for ALL employees and ALL of their premises in Canada and the USA. In Arizona and Montana FedEx properties are some of the few places where I have to store my gun in my car.

Other than that though, they're bar none, my favourite courier in Canada. Open late, and open 7 days per week if I'm not home to sign.

The FedEx guy always brings cookies for my dog, and they're the least likely to miss a guaranteed delivery date. They are also the most reliable at customs brokerage, although that doesn't matter for CanAm.

DHL is quick and cheap, but their only depot is at the international in Edmonton, and closes at 7pm M-F. UPS is the worst, only open M-F till 6 or so, and closed at lunch.

CanPar isn't bad, but it's not FedEx. Canada Post has gotten way more convenient since community mail boxes though, due to the fact that items that would have been pick up tagged now go in the parcel enclosure at the end of my street.
 
I've never received a FedEx package, but canpar only delivers during working hours on working days and the depot is far and has the same work time hours .... Free shipping is useless if you can't get the package. Maybe FedEx would be better on at least one of those points.
