mail has landed!

got mail... and it is the gas bill

about fucking time. Good on the Harper government to do something about those dogfuckers who always wants more and more...

Still waiting on 5 different packages to come in.. Picked the worse time to place orders online :(

^Same :fuuuuu:

So I didn't read this thread, so hopefully this hasnt already been said.

I can't fucking believe this shit, most of the shit that comes in the mail is just that... SHIT. Fucking flyers and advertisements I dont even fucking want, waste of paper polluting bastards.

If Canada post cant make the balance sheet work and needs tax payer dollars to function, maybe it's time they up the rates to these companys that insist on sending me stupid shit week after week that I just toss in the recycle bin.

Screw you Canada Post/CUPW, UPS can make money, why cant you fuckers???

This whole situation just makes me raaaaaaaaaaage.

EDIT: Before anyone gets too excited and bitches about Canada Post posting profits, you need to look at the long term numbers to understand.

got my msp bill today :lol

+1

My roommate just told me we still have no mail! I live 2 blocks from the post office too! :speechless:

Same..they're probably still sorting out mail/parcels at our post offices

nothing of importance today..perhaps something pertinent tomorrow

Finally got my ink cartridges so I can print shit again

nothing today, hopefully tomorrow!

got mail today

a pack of nutella sample

:alone:

Dude, usually I agree with you, and I am against the CUPW, yet you cannot compare CPC to UPS. CPC has to deliver the mail to all of Canada, for the same cost of a stamp. This means CPC will always lose money where UPS would just charge an arm and a leg to make the same delivery.

I dont think tax payer dollars has to do with anything toward canada post. Canada post is a service, it's operated by the product that it provides and the volumn of mail they get. That's how the workers get pay and not from tax payer.

Like taylor saids, cpc is always cheaper then any other company..i used to work for fedex i know.. and everytime i get something from Ups.. i always get these stupid custom broker charges..i rarely get that with canada post

anyone receive their packages yet? (not just mail)

nope =[ waiting on 5 packages, and only one them has a tracking number. "Service disruption at this location"

I got mail (letters only) on Tuesday and nothing Wednesday.....no packages either .....waiting for some from local shops and HK

........ Canada Post is a gov't & union company. TAX PAYERS pay for A LOT of their salary. Our taxes espeically go to the god damn high pensions that they keep wanting to raise up and up.
Why do you think their rates are so cheap? Because they get enough surplus from our tax dollars that they don't need to charge for all those stupid extras (brokerage...). Only thing that is poor about Canada Post is time, if your in a rush don't rely on CP, pay the money and get it Purolator'd, Fedex'd or UPS'd and pay out your ass.. Maybe even Priority Air Express for Canada Post, but again lots of $$.

i had something shipped from the US via USPS. then the strike happened and nothing updated on the USPS tracking #.

Just to clarify, the package turns over to CanadaPost once it reaches the border right?

^^ yes it does.

well as a tax payer, i guess you can't just blame it on just cpc. How about all other gov't jobs and city jobs, cops etc...don't they get pretty good pension also?

Most public sector workers get a defined benefit pension which means that your pension is based on your salary when you retire and is indexed to inflation.

I understand where all the hate about pensions comes from, but honestly, if you're valuable employee, you'll get compensated accordingly in the private sector. And if you're compensated accordingly, you're supposed to use that extra money to fund your own retirement.

On the other hand, you could always join the public sector...

dam my packages still mia.
i guess they doing letters first
