If you don't ship using Canada Post, who do you use?

used Purolator a while ago but found out it was canada post leaving the territory. received from puralotor with purolator truck in town. remington used them for ammo and rifles for us at home ...
 
I've shipped a few items for warranty and it usually works out ok. Once CP lost the shipment in their computer system but it was received at the other end. CP wan't able to explain how it happened but they let me know later that they were able to confirm that the shipment arrived at the destination. Of course I had already confirmed it was received. Perhaps a glitch in their system.

I contested the change, and went to a different postal outlet where I got insurance on the package yjhe same day. The next time was shown it in writing at the same outlet.

Have a fishing friend who works for Canada Post, and he confirmed the same to me.

Hmmm....I am still insuring as of yesterday, but possibly because the local girls don't know about the change... I wonder if they accept insurance on a firearm, and there is damage, if they will cover it or will cite the new regulatory change?

I'm there every day... and have a delivery arrangement with the local office because I had too many rifles left on my doorstep when shippers didn't add a signature requirement.
 
I quit paying Canada Post to steal my stuff years ago. It’s like buying auto insurance for the cab your about to ride in.

I can't find it on Canada Post's website. All I find is this:

Hmmm, perhaps it has not been updated on the website, but I can tell you for certain that none of the commercial outlets, nor the main postal station here, will sell you insurance on a package containing a rifle.

It was at the main postal station that they showed me the ruling in writing.
