Re: Dear Canada Post, We Need To Talk.

Order from Amazon.ca today - earbuds and new clock radio with extras.

By Canada Post, expected delivery Tuesday, 3 working days.

I reckon Monday depending on whether it's from Van or Tonto.

Re: Dear Canada Post, We Need To Talk.

Ice maybe? Maybe someone fell and they're not sure it's safe to get to you to deliver so keep putting it off and verifying is more about checking the area?

Re: Dear Canada Post, We Need To Talk.

Nothing so shady. I just remembered there had been at least one thread on tipping and one came up on a search where you mentioned it.

Does that sound convincing? :sneaky:

Re: Dear Canada Post, We Need To Talk.

Funny watching the mail person, in Santa hat, deliver mail then get into car, drive three houses up and deliver again and so on.

Re: Dear Canada Post, We Need To Talk.

Really?

It's funny. I've only ever used something other than Canada Post once and that was UPS because the laptop I was returning involved a pre-paid return label and there was no choice but UPS....

Re: Dear Canada Post, We Need To Talk.

Less so now but a few years ago in the approach to christmas, they'd deliver mail at all hours and all days. Around 10.00pm once. :nod:

Re: Dear Canada Post, We Need To Talk.

A recent Amazon order came from Fedex - first one ever I think. The last one was back to Canada Post. Both took about 3 days to arrive.

I've ordered a few things from Walmart and they've always...

Re: Dear Canada Post, We Need To Talk.

Re: Dear Canada Post, We Need To Talk.

It's a bit awkward when that happens.

I ordered a mouse that was just about $5. It sounded similar to my favoured mouse that retails for an outrageous $40 (yeah, right) but is often reduced to...

Re: Dear Canada Post, We Need To Talk.

That would have been pretty good from Hong Kong, just about a month.

Things like replacement laptop keyboards are well worth ordering from HK, Singapore, China etc if you can wait. Can be as...

Re: Dear Canada Post, We Need To Talk.

Not from Canada Post though. We all know I get favourable delivery from them ;)
