I ordered a package about 3 weeks ago, nothing special right. Well, the fact that it was supposed to arrive during week one is really ticking me off. Whats even more brilliant is the fact that I specifically asked for 1 week or less delivery. Now, I called the place I ordered from, and they said that they had delivered it... so the problem lies on the sholders of the postal system. Now, you may be thinking that its only one package.. its not. My mom ordered a package 5 weeks ago in the month of June... still hasnt arrived.

So, anyone know why the postal system here sucks?

Dunno, the fact that there often scandals about the postal system (well, In Canada's) doesn't help.

Heh it's funny how stuff in your area sometimes takes almost a week or a liiiiiiittle tiny bit less to reach your house. When the report cards are supposed to be sent on a certain day, they don't come till about a week later. It's funny XD.

The postal system just sucks.

It shouldn't have to take too long just to send one thing. It has to go through a bunch of crap though so I kind of see what..but then I don't.

Supposedly, by law, the mail has something like a month in order to arrive by standard mail.

I, personally, have never had major problems with the system. Knock on wood.

Your Postal System seems fucked up.

If ours won't deliver within a weeks notice, the sender has the right to complain.

Our Law states that a priority and signature letter is delivered withing 10 days.
Standard is next workday with priority (A-Post) and next 2-3 workdays with Economy (B-Post).

Same for pakages.

I rarely use the mail here, but there's nothing to complain about... a letter sent to Toronto takes 2-3 days to arrive. Same with packages.

Canada Post isn't THAT evil.

Hey man...

These dudes go at it regardless of the weather. That includes rain, sleet, or shine. Or was it slow. I don't see you going out and delivering several tons of post per year.

Oh boy... Im gonna say if it doesnt come by Saturday, then I'm gonna be making a few phone calls .

I'm getting me a new mouthpiece for my trombone by mail order (Because ALL of the music stores dont carry it for some reason) for Marching Band. . HOPEFULLY it will be here within the next week, otherwise, I will have absolutely NO time to adjust

I envy all of you people with your... quick mail service

Wow, why would a music store not carry one?

That's really odd. I got my tuba mouthpiece right then and there.

I've had to call in a few queries and complaints about the whereabouts of my mail, but I've yet to actually lose it.
With international stuff, it usually goes by air, and you know how airlines can be. That doesn't help.
