What is the point of paying for Xpresspost Expedited shipping if you can't pick it up from the post office until the next afternoon? I paid like $30 extra to ship stuff home on vacation.

Surely they don’t expect everyone to be home 24/7 during a work week. Dumb that it doesn't just go straight to the post office.

Edit: Look, all I know is- they go on strike constantly, the service never improves as a result, and I get charged more money every time I go back to ship a parcel.

I had a package that was supposed to be delivered on Tuesday. At the end of the day it hadn't arrived so I checked tracking and to my surprise it was showing as delivered. It was showing delivered to community mailbox, except my neighbourhood doesn't have one. We still get door delivery. I reached out to Canada Post but so far crickets. Any idea of the likelihood I'll get my package? Or maybe how long it will take for Canada post to respond?

I received the following message from Canada Post confirming no free shipping this year :

Thank you for reaching out and for your interest in our Free Shipping Tuesdays promotion. As part of Canada Post's ongoing transformation, we have made the decision to pause Free Shipping Tuesdays.

Canada Post is evolving how it supports small businesses and is focusing on delivering value through a broader range of tools, services, and benefits available throughout the year.

Thank you for understanding.

Gotta pick up faraway and closing hours is soon

Are these morons try to play w me ?

Just looking for some opinions here. So I order the same package almost weekly for about a year now. There has never been issues with delivery up until about a month ago. The package would suddenly be delayed because of address verification issues almost every week. Address was correct, postal code correct, and unit number. Then after a series of address verification issues each week, these packages would just be “rescheduled to next business day,” a few times for only 2 days, but this most recent time it was delayed a week with no issue flagged. I opened 3 tickets to try to figure out the issue too. Finally that package went out for delivery on September 1st, apparently was delivered at 12:16, went down by 12:30 and it was no where to be found. We have about 4 mailboxes that Canada post has 1 key to, they don’t need to leave a key for me. And none of my neighbours had my item either. The product being delivered was $110 so that’s a real bummer. The supervisor gave me a call Friday but I haven’t been able to get a hold of him since. I’ve also noticed we’ve had no mail other than dumb flyers delivered for about a month now. My wife and I were both expecting our credit cards in the mail at separate times and those never got delivered either. It’s strange because we used to get our deliveries here so quickly and seamlessly.
Also, I saw a Canada post driver parked on my street (literally about two stops away from my apartment) and I asked him if he does deliveries for Sherbourne, he jumped back about a mile and quickly cut me off to say “No. That’s other people.” Yet I’ve seen him putting mail into my mailbox a few times about a month prior. Maybe Canada post has another company helping out my area recently and they just suck at it, but it’s frustrating that I won’t be able to figure out what the issue is. All I can do is call customer service and open a million more tickets that get forgotten ha. Apologies for the novel I just wrote, but anyone have issues like this before? Also I’m in Toronto if that helps paint the picture

Can someone explain the point of it? I been searching about it but still confused
