So yesterday was supposed to be the day I could admire and show off my new anschutz 1417 .22 with meister grade stock.
Unfortunately, purolator didn't bother to deliver on the guaranteed delivery day, and despite it being shipped with signatures required every time it changes hands along the way, it's currently showing as still at a sorting office in Toronto. But purolator tell me it's actually on a truck in Calgary. But due to the huge storms we've had they are back logged. So they haven't unloaded the trucks yet to sort them and are working all weekend to catch up.

Now I wouldn't mind, but wtf is she talking about? What storms? We had one reasonably snowy day almost 2 weeks ago, but it was hardly a storm.
And wtf is the point of hand to hand tracking if they don't bother.
So long story short, they don't know when they will deliver it. And my very high cost secure shipping obviously counts for nothing.
So my long wait for this rifle continues.
 
Didn't Toronto get a couple centimeters of snow recently? That would have of course have resulted in mass panic, a cessation of all government services and the total collapse of civilization in the center of all things. Hopefully, they'll get the armed forces out there soon to restore the status quo and you'll get your gun. :)
 
North sylva.

Annoying thing is she kept going on about the "terrible storms" in western canada. And they couldn't give any estimate delivery date at all.

I just wonder why living in the west I didn't see these storms. Nor did anyone else I know. Lol.
 
I don't know about Cochrane, but Calgary got the storm 2 weeks ago. The city just finished digging out some areas in the NE. Cars were burried for 10 days in Skyview Ranch. A lot of the residential streets are still almost impassable.

But that has little bearing on trucks and planes coming from Ontario. The other 4 packages I got this week from Ontario got through just fine.
I drive into the city daily and have had no issues, however I accept the residential streets can be bad. But that's a result of the city doing a crap job, not because of a terrible storm.
I mean that was nothing compared to what we will get when winter really starts.
 
What they mean is they are extremely busy due to the holidays coming and want to make as much money as possible, and what most transports do is stop deliverys early in the day and concentrate on pick ups because pick ups is new money coming in whereas your delivery has already been paid for.

Ain't that the truth. I mean if it was really the storm then that had already happened over a week before it was even sent. So why accept a package with guaranteed 3 day delivery if you knew you were back logged.

That is the biggest frustration in Canada. Every single shipping option offers crap service and sky high prices. And there's nothing you can do about it as there's no good alternative.

Anyway. At some day in the future I'll have a nice shiney anschutz to show off.
 
Shipping can get crazy during the Christmas Season , I just hope your firearm does not go missing like the two handguns did with Canpar . ( another horror story on CGN )
 
honestly i think you should crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and hear the lamentations of their women, that will teach purolator

Yeh if that happens I will not be happy. This rifle was very hard to find, and the wood on it is once in a lifetime quality. It was ordered as a meister grade but when it came it as far better than any other meister grades the guys at north sylva had seen. From the pics he sent me it looks amazing.
 
Guaranteed is guaranteed. If they do not attempt delivery on the guaranteed date, you don't have to pay. Raise a little hell and get your shipping back, but you might have take it up with Sylva as only they can initiate a refund request.
 
I am waiting for freight, non gun, been getting the same bovine exhaust for an excuse too. Very frustrating. Totally lost it on the chick that tried to feed me that carp.

I think that's why they are blaming the weather. That excludes them from any liability.

Reality is, any weather events that could even slightly delay it, happened way before they even accepted the shipment.

And I think like most Canadian parcel firms, the guarantees are not actual guarantees. More like service standards.
 
Bring it up with them anyways. If you feel it's worth your time, you won't be out of pocket for pursuing it. You may not get a full refund, but at the end of the day you paid for service that you did not receive, and should be entitled to compensation for it. They still delivered it (well, hopefully), but if you paid extra for a guaranteed service, you should be refunded the difference because they failed their guarantee.
