I hope it gets to it’s intended destination.

I ordered a Costco gift card from AirMiles. It was mailed 28th Sept...have not received it yet.

I sent a shoebox sized parcel, by surface from Canada to the UK in August. It arrived on Monday!

I've only recently found out that if you have a PO box mailing address then Canada Post will never deliver a parcel to the house. The tracking info says that delivery was attempted but it hasn't been. Even though they have your delivery address they will take the heavy unwieldy parcel to the post office. We had to unbox a toolbox on wheels so we could get it in the car, may just as well have bought it from a store.

I’ve never had anything get lost or go missing, but they are very expensive, sometimes more than UPS or FedEx. One trick I did learn is that anyone can sign up for the Canada Post small business account for sending stuff, there’s literally no restrictions - you get faster shipping with tracking for the same price as slower/untracked and the occasional free shipping day.

That is a great tip. I may well look into that , Thank you !

I got letter mail today with a post mark of January 26th, a wee bit slow in getting to me...

Seems its taking about a month for letter mail to go from BC location to BC location, one arrived today, postmarked Feb 26, today being March 29, took over a month.

That's only slightly longer than mail took from India to Britain in the 19th century. #notbyCanadaPost lol

I am not sure what their issue is, it's not a one off, this is the 5th or 6th letter mail that has taken a month to arrive, I even mailed a letter to myself to see and sure enough it took about a month.

I wish they would get their house in order.

For the first time ever, Canada Post is annoying me.

Last Wednesday I ordered some diabetic test strips from Shoppers website - there were big bonus points on offer. Delivery 5-8 days it said, so I (foolishly) figured by Thursday this week. I could stretch my supplies.
Of course, if you don't count weekends, then 5-8 days would be today (Weds) to Monday next week.
No matter though, my email acknowledgement last Weds said delivery expected Friday last week.
Thursday last week I noticed the tracking information had expected delivery removed.
On Friday it said delivery expected Tuesday this week. Well that's still okay.

I'm used to seeing where a package is and on what date finally seeing it at Moncton (or Dieppe) and then the next date/time out for delivery.

On Monday the tracking information was apparently updated but there was no new information.
Tuesday it was updated but no new information.
Today, Wednesday, it's been updated again but no new information.




I suppose they still have until next Monday, but because they said Friday and then Tuesday I didn't stretch my supplies out.

How annoying and frustrating for you... and potentially health critical!
Try using this website for tracking - I've found it excellent ( a lovely find by Jsmth321) -gives details others sometimes don't.. https://parcelsapp.com/en/tracking

I'm happy; the items I ordered on Sunday night were packed up and mailed in Vancouver on Monday afternoon, processed in Richmond at supper time Monday, processed in Regina early this morning, and sent out for delivery 15 minutes ago, a day ahead of schedule.

Thank you. That one contains nothing about where and when, in terms of stages but it does say expected delivery between today and Friday, which at least tells me something.
