This is why I like using forward shipping service, they got business account so shipping with DHL is the same price if not cheaper. Brokerage fee is charge at 2.5% but I can declare what I want. For example, body armor is 18% duty, if I import a body armor by simply putting its name, 99/100 its charge duty as vest of cotton. Not lying to custom its just most don't Google what is the product

//sent on my smartphone, I apologized for any unchecked spellcheck//

Or I could of just spent that extra $10 and bought in country :s oppsss accident

Most of the time I'm good with Canada Post and will love/defend their service, but Ive been waiting forever for this particular item. Items Postal Code(by an American) was messed up, only by putting an A instead of a 4 in one spot, but the rest of the address is good to go. It's added an extra two weeks onto the process.

The CBSA also held onto it for a week. Joy!

So apparently I'm a drug dealer now. A package I sent a customer was labelled suspicious by CP and had to be checked because it was bulging and only had his first name.

Well Eeyore technically you could be considered a Arms dealer.

But your not, you just sell sexy gun porn in the form of GBBRs

Great drugs and guns, guess that puts me away for life.

Don't forget porn. I mean in all of our stupid laws there has to be some law about that. Even if its only gun porn.

Package delivered? MY ass I've been sitting in the living room all day. It had better be in my mail box lest I'm gona ruin someones day.

Side note new guy is lazy. Old guy used to bring anything that wasn't an envelope to my door. He got a few bucks in tip for his troubles too. New guy don't do shit.

Dude the new guys suck, I miss my old postman he was so consistant 11:11 everyday the mail would be here. Now its like 11:00 2:00 sometimes 4:00.

was working on my motorcycle in the garage with the door open from 9 till noon. package delivery attempt at 10:50am my ass, you have walk up my driveway to get to my door. it has also been snowing for the last 3 hrs, and not a single footprint on the snow in my driveway. Fucking retards over at CP. and i know filing a complaint isn't going to do fuck all.

i haven't got a chance to check my mail box yet. Don't have a key on me. But I know the address was correct on the parcel so the fault lies with them if its at the wrong address.

Apparently Canada Post no longer accepts the abbreviated form of Dollard des Ormeaux (D.D.O) Quebec in addresses.
My package was sent from Ontario, arrived at the delivery depot in Pointe-Claire , and was promptly redirected back to the sender because nobody has heard of this mysterious place called D.D.O.
Strange because I've had packages sent from all over the world to D.D.O for over three years without any problems whatsoever !!:banghead:

Crap, that means my mail order bride is going to be sent back too!!:D

My parcel's last update was this:
2012/02/24 19:02 HALIFAX Item transferred to Post Office; being prepared for pickup.

I went to the office to pick it up and the lady said there's nothing for me!!
I showed her the update from my iPhone and she checked inside and there was nothing for me.
She also said they usually don't get any parcels from postman after around 6pm!!!
I have no idea where is my parcel and I have to go back again tomorrow 10am to check again!! we have a bus strike in Halifax!!! I cannot go there every time!!!!

If it's not there then why would someone updates that it's?!
and where is it anyway??! it's not on the postman home waiting for a delivery attempt to the post office next morning isn't it??!!!!!!!!

I got really angry tonight. I've been waiting weeks for this parcel to come.
:(

You think that is bad, wait until they charge you for the return shipping. Total BS.

I just paid for that package return shipping today, another $22.00
As for the mail order bride, I'm asking for a full refund:D
