Canada post is unreal

[misfish]

Well, I do not know whats going on with Canada Post these days . I have had two shipments not get to it,s destination. One being for a member here. As always,I send a picture of the package to confirm the right address is written on the package before mailing out . This really bothers me,as I take it personally when this happens . Canada post is something else.

And they wonder why CP is loosing money. Over priced, under serviced!

Ya that is crazy. I seem to have no problem getting my bills.

No mail today . I guess they take provincial holidays as well as snow days. Should be called Newman Mail

Well,I was able to hook up with our member this morning ,as he was fishing with an outfitter on the 2nd line.  Met up with him and handed over a whole new batch of baits . 

Canada post, nor wind nor blowing wind and low vis,will stop the loony bin bugs and grubs guy ,from getting to those that want. 

Well, to a limit 😆. It was a nasty morning, but it was a day that was special, so I made the extra effort to make sure the day started off well . 

Must be the newfie in me byes.

and how long did it take that package to get there to you from me?  Was it six weeks?  (From Kingston to Barrie)

I was out with my dad who is 82 to spend the day on Simcoe. Really appreciated the incredible effort you made, Misfish, to deliver the package of lures to me before going out (since CP can’t seem to deliver packages from Barrie to Waterloo in 2.5 weeks!) You drove through some nasty weather to make it out to our meeting place and I truly applaud your commitment to service, dedication and generosity. You are a class act and I’m glad to have met you in person, Brian. 

BTW, those bloodworms worked very well - thanks for everything. You are an asset to the fishing community!

I have had more than my share of issues with CP over the years Brian. I'm not sure if you remember a former member here, IceGuyD?
Many years back now I ran little raffle on this site for a custom built ice rod and he "Don" won it. So he gave me his work place address to ship it to.
As the weeks rolled on he failed to receive so I inquired with CP as to the whereabouts of the parcel. They claimed it was undeliverable as the address I used did not exist. Strange!

When I asked why the parcel had not been returned to me they said they didn't know where it was! So they eventually they issued me a cheque for the value of the contents ($150.00) as I of course had insured the parcel.

So to be fair I built another rod for Don and this time delivered it to him in person on the way back from a Lefroy ice outing at the address that CP claimed did not exist, it was at the time the well known adult entertainment establishment known as "The Cannon Ball Express!" It was a good afternoon to say the least. 


So months passed and I'd forgotten all about it until a parcel arrived at my door. Yes, it was the ice fishing rod. It seems that once it was deemed undeliverable they sent it to a sorting facility in Ottawa rather than returning it to the provided return address on the packaging. Idiots!

Needless to say, I now had the rod and I also kept the cheque.

Was my way of making sure tour day was grand bud. Now if I had only remembered how to get to the 2nd line my first try. 😆.  Been many years since I had been down that way.

Speaking of Canada Post, aren't the early voter cards supposed to be out by now, stations are opening tomorrow.
