As long as I get it I'm happy...

The CP lady I spoke to said that she couldn't give me any information on the package, and that it should've already been delivered, but obviously hadn't been. So, in order for me to actually GET the stuff I paid for, she suggested that I contact the shipper, get them to resend the merchandise, and get reimbursed from Hong Kong Post. (or whatever they're called).

Which sounded completely retarded to me.

oooo The CP hate thread.

2 Weeks ago I had a shipment due to be delived to my house(Non-AS). I wake up around 0920 and checked the tracking number - said that delevery was attempted and slip was left on my door. This was dated at about 0800, so I went to the door to look and there was nothing. I had some stuff to do in town so I left home. When I got back - regular mail had not even been delivered yet. I knew this was a sign of trouble to come.

I took my laptop and a chair out to the porch and waited for the mail person to come by, hopeing to catch their attention and ask some questions. After getting sick of waiting I decided to go to the post office and ask wtf is going on. On my way down the drive I checked the mail box one last time to see if they had evevn come by to deliver normal mail, they had, and the attemped delivery slip was in my mailbox... and not on the door. Between the time I steped through 1 door to grab my keys, coat and boots they had delivered normal mail, not come up my drive AT ALL let alone knock on my door.

When I got to the post office the lady there said I had to come back at 1700 to pick of the package because it was still on the truck (it was 1500 at the time). I was pissed and just walked away with the number she provided me to call CP. I did.... fruitless attempt.

I went back at 1700 and the lady turnt arround and grabbed a package that was behind her when I went in at 1500 and handed it to me. It had been at the office THE WHOLE TIME. They didnt even ATTEMPT delivery. I was Furious.

I argued to the point that I got the full price of my express shipping back.

I hate CP SO much when this shit happens.... but they manage to get most of my parcels right.

lol usually when i come back i'm told 'sorry it hasn't been registered into the system yet, please come back tomorrow', when 90% of the time the fucking package is behind them grrrrrrrr.

Which means " I don't want to deal with your complaint because of our screw up. Please come back when its another persons problem."

Yeah, but when it's about $1,149.87 CDN you get a tad nervous.

Like right now :/

lol well how about my PTW that i shipped out... for 1 week it was missing in action... god that was nerve racking... even though it was fully insured for a couple thousands.

Then you know my pain.

use FEDEX guys, just... use it. Any courier company is fine.

+1 to Fedex but it was like $180 to ship my PTW + insurance, CP was $65 with insurance... lol

It's a shame how that's the mentality now when dealing with Canada Post... I mean, I'm totally in the same boat, but still...

No more expecting it to be on time and secure and not beat up. No more being satisfied when they do what they say they'll do. And gods forbid something be early and properly delivered, that just won't do.

...just being relieved that they haven't screwed up so epically that reindeer and elves are playing with your video games that you ordered a year ago... (sigh... I'll never get to play the Force Unleashed...)

wow sounds like u guys had a tough time with CP. my courier has always been nice.

They are so freaking lazy, i ordered from velocityarms, and i live 30 minutes away from VelocityArms, and they didn't even attempt to ship it on the first days. Lazy Assholes.

EDIT: I'm referring to CanadaPost not velocityarms. I love VA

Are you talking about CP or VA? Cause it sounds like you're shitting on VA.

Where I live, CP won't deliver, you have to go check your mailbox at the post office for a delivery card. It had been about two weeks since my package had been shipped, so I decided to go down and check my mailbox. There was no notice card left. I then go to the desk and ask the lady if it was possible that my package had arrived but that I wasn't left a notice card. She casually answers: "Oh, yeah!". Of course the package had been there for a week. Patience and tolerance is key when using CP:)
