So ordered an item from China end of last month and this the cluster fuck Canada Post is showing when I track my item;

CP has been no help whatsoever and hasn't been able to tell me what the issue is. I google'd around and it seems like others have had this issue but nothing lately. Has anyone experienced something similar lately?

Still waiting for an item that I bought off eBay from China. Ordered it the beginning of March.. It was only worth a couple of bucks, but it would be nice if it showed up any day now.. if ever.

What did you order?
The tracking is definitely wrong. 6 days for a package from China to Vancouver is incredibly fast and rarely ever happens even with priority / express IMO.
Whenever I've had to order from China its taken 1 month. Worst case scenario: Wait till April 27th to get your order and if not ask seller you never got the item and ask for a refund

Not necessarily, my spoiler only took 1 day to process, 1 day to arrive in Canada, and 2 more days to clear customs, before being released for delivery.

I ordered a Xiaomi phone.
I've had issues with CP lately as well.
Order came in from Singapore to Richmond then it went to Calgary then back to Richmond. Then I somehow lost tracking of it.
Not sure what's going on.

If there's liquid or batteries in it, they are really cracking down. Cologne and cell phones have a very good chance of being returned to the shipper

I ordered a Fitbit shipped to my friend's Richmond address. The tracking showed "Delivered" and in fact it was never delivered, reviewed the camera showed nothing.
My friend called up CP and their fucked up "too bad, so sad" attitude makes you angry. They won't even allow my friend to file a claim, saying "sorry, the ownership has not been transferred to you, you should ask the sender to deal with it" what an ass.
Then I ordered the second time, my friend called CP if he can pick up at the nearby post office, they said no! WTF

I avoid CP at all costs.
I sent two slicks mounted on rims via USPS standard post from Sumas, Wa to Pheonix, Az.
Cost me $70us to ship. CP wanted $201cdn.
Took 4 days to get the slicks to AZ. I sent my dad a birthday card via CP 6 business days ago and he still hasn't received it... He lives in Calgary

Ordered a computer from Future Shop a few years ago. Tracked it to downtown Vancouver depot just a few blocks from me and then it sat there for a few days. Then it went to the Richmond depot all of a sudden and then said delivered.
They said the package was probably dropped off at the back door or hidden under the door mat (like no one would see there was a package under there lol). But I had it sent to my work, an office tower with a receptionist. Figured they made a mistake and took it to the Richmond depot and then the mail man just thought fuk it and left it at random address or kept it for him/herself. No one looked any further into it and Future Shop just mailed me another

lol i was tracking a parcel and when it said it was out for delivery, I left a note in my mailbox. It was my day off so i figured they can just knock instead of me having to pick up the parcel later on because it wouldn't fit in the mailbox.
We live in a small townhouse complex with those small, shared boxes. I taped a small note on top of the keyhole to our box saying, for parcel delivery please knock on unit XX.
Pretty clear right? Not to mention that our unit is probably 20 paces from the mailbox.
2pm comes and i wonder why no one's knocked yet. I was home watching tv/playing games and I could clearly hear what's going on out front. I get up to check mailbox, lo and behold, the dipshit took off my note, taped it to the side, opened the mailbox and stuck missed delivery note in there.
:fulloffuck: :seriously:
Still better than UPS though. Those fucking asshats never "attempt".

The alternative is to ship via surface mail. It'll go through, but it can take over a month or two to arrive. That's what we have to do when someone orders hair spray or mousse.

Canada Post has always been pretty bad with China mail, especially if it comes in those small packets. I ordered a G1WH dashcam a couple of months ago and it took a little over a month to get it. From what I've heard however, CP just moved to a new processing plant (by YVR) and they're still having a ton of issues with moving international mail...

Canada Post just sucks in general. Another failing crown corporation that lacks competency. If I have a choice, I would never use them.
Most of the time when CP says my parcel will be delivered by this date, it often gets delayed. Never had I experienced an early delivery from CP.
On the other hand, USPS, Fedex, and UPS is always on-time, or even gets delivered before your expected delivery date. That's service!

Order a power bank on Ebay. have arrive mid march. never got anything even though tracking clearly shows it arrive in Canada.
Try to file a charge back but the seller won't budge till I threaten to file a charge back with paypal and with my CC company.

CP customer support should be called "automated support" because their responses are basically cut and paste and no one bothers to look at what the actual issue might be. So annoyed but not much I can do but wait.

Could it be held up by CBSA? I know the tracking status is supposed to indicate if it cleared customs though.
My previous postie who delivered in my area had a gambling problem from I could figure out. We used to not get the Casino $5 free play direct mailers when my friends did. I figured at first they were doing targeted advertising based on the postal code. It wasn't till I got a mailer missing a page that I realized what was going on.
My friend at CP told me, it wasn't an isolated case. We now have a different postie on our route now.

My wife orders books from Japan on a monthly basis. These are delivered via Canada Post. One package was delayed by 3 months. When we finally received the package, it had this note.

Seems like Canada Post sent the package back to Japan, but the Japanese being Japanese refused to accept it because Canada Post didn't follow protocol.

I dont think CP is that bad..ive ordered plenty of times using them with shipments coming from china. Usual time it took for my items to arrive was 2-3weeks and I didnt have tracking either. Purolator has also been good as they allow for you to pickup from their warehouse. Note about purolator though, You will likely not recieve your item on a Monday because they do all their business shipments first and then they get down to you.
For anything coming from Asia... one word: EMS.
I have sent multiple packages to myself/wife when I was in Taiwan and never had a problem.
Cheap out once using Airmail and it took forever (tracking just showed it was "in process").
What I don't understand is how Canada Post pricing works. I sent a pkg that's 4.xKG via EMS and it was just a tad over 50CAD after conversion at the time (13xxTWD)
I mailed it on Monday morning in TW and my wife got it on Wednesday afternoon here. No hassle no fuss.
I came back to Canada, and a check to US took over a week to arrive (mind you, once it got to US, USPS took 1.5days to deliver from here to Ohio) and it costs me 35CAD?!?

So got my phone today after I spoke with a CP supervisor a couple days ago. It was sent EMS and it was sent to Grand Prairie a total of 4 times. In fact, someone in Grand Prairie had to attach a had written note, in all cap letters, that my item was suppose to be sent to Vancouver. My address on the original shipping slip was correct.
The incompetence of Canada Post is beyond me, imagine the resources it took for my parcel to be bounced around from Richmond to Grand Prairie for the past couple of weeks.

They are considered 'dangerous articles' by the universal postal union (http://www.upu.int/en.html). Lithium batteries can explode, and I guess they're worried about fires on planes. Also anything flammable has always been banned, and cologne/perfume are highly flammable
You can get away with trying to sneak them in, but just recently I had 2 packages that were inspected on the way out, and returned to me. They both had hair mousse which is compressed flammable and therefore "dangerous"
So they have to be sent via surface, which takes 60-90 days instead of 7-10 days. FailFish
It's ok we had a check sent from Minnesota to Vancouver BC in February and it arrived a few days ago. It went to Bermuda :lawl:

Package showed up at my door, it's X's official accountant certificate with three zip codes on it. Contacted the organization for the proper address and now I'll be delivering it tomorrow evening. There were so many Canada Post redirect stickers on it that I could not tell where the hell it was supposed to go.

So yesterday, the mailman from Canada Post "attempted" to deliver my package at 3pm and also "left a deliver notice card" which I never received.. I was home all day and I didn't hear a single knock and in fact, no one even came in through the front gate between 2pm-4:30pm. If I saw someone entering the front gates I would have known because my computer is beside the window and my curtains were wide open during the "delivery attempt".
What bothers me is that CP customer service told me that my package is available for pick up today at my local post office and even told me "they are open" however after commuting to the post office in the snow, I found out that they're closed until Jan 3rd.
CP also has a policy that if the package isn't picked up within 15 calendar days after it is deemed "available for pick up" (after a deliver attempt), it gets shipped back to the sender. So because CP "attempted" to deliver my package yesterday, customer service told me that I have until Jan 13th to pick my package as it was "available for pick up yesterday" but yet, I'm unable to pick up my package until the post office reopens on the 3rd which seems very unfair. In addition to that, I leave town on the 2nd and won't be back until the 15th. So my 2 options are to either get someone living in the same house hold to pick up the package for me or fill out an online authorization form for a friend to pick up it up. Why do I have to go out of my way for their error and false advertised service?
It's very frustrating and disappointing when you pay for a service but only to receive shitty/almost zero service. There are absolutely no excuses for this CP mailman as there were no safety hazards nor COD fee and even a UPS man was able to deliver our other package the following night.

In the month of December CP lost two of my wife's packages, one from Chapters and one from Hudson's Bay (thankfully both companies refunded our money).
Like i-vtechyo, we also often get calls from CP about packages that are about to be returned due to the 15 day hold limit but no delivery notice precedes them. On The bright side, this happens often enough that the calls aren't surprising anymore.
Flex Delivery is key.
No have to deal with mailman. It arrives at Shoppers Drug Mart Post Office, I get email, I go pick it up. Post office is open till 9:00 pm. on weekdays.

This is what I do now for 99% of my online buys.
It is almost "necessary" for people living in apartments, where certain courier companies cannot get into the building and will leave a delivery notice on the LOBBY door. Then the wind or some jerk removes the slip and you never knew it arrived :[
If I'm not mistaken, Canada Post has access to most apartments though? (heard from a friend who worked as a CP delivery guy)

We pretty much only use flex delivery, however, lately there were a few items that were not entered into the system. The packages were just sitting in the storage room. It wasn't until we inquired about some missing items that they went through everything and found those packages.
Also my mom does enough online purchasing that some of the people working there know her by name :pokerface:

I think it is quite important to check in at your residence's assigned postal facility once a while ( I rent a mailbox at mine, as a backup since communal boxes you never know when it will be broken in). You can glean so much information about your route. eg the person at the facility gave me a heads up that there are new mail delivery assignments so the mail people will take some time to get used to the new route etc.
I can't emphasis enough, get to know your posties. For me I rank CP, UPS, Fedex, DHL then Purolator.

Have you checked your mailbox? If the package won't fit on the truck it will show up as "attempted" and you'll get the little slip in your mailbox.

Canada Post has always been solid for me. Aside from the 1 time I sent something to the US that got redirected to USPS, package was out for delivery to my buyer and was never scanned as delivered...
opened an investigation, Canada Post tried tracking it down to no results and sent me a cheque for the item value+shipping fees
Flex Delivery is also a highly recommended service. Like MG1 said, package arrives at the post office > you get an email > you go pick up whenever it's convenient.
No more "mailman never came / didn't leave a notice card etc etc" headaches

I don't see a problem? they were off on 24 25 26 and 27 due to stat holiday
For those of you who live in apartments, put your buzzer # on the package
As a philatelist (stamp junkie), I have a love/hate relationship with Canada Post. Having said that, their customer service has always been good. I have standing orders through their collector's division. Never had an issue with them sending stuff out in a timely manner or arriving in a decent amount of time. Now, if they can get the mailperson to stop bending stuff that specifically reads, "Do Not Bend," it would be a great service.
However, since Flex Delivery, not a single item has arrived damaged. We're talking everything from large tubes, containing uncut press sheets, to small packets and envelopes. Not having to deal with temps and noobs, is a blessing not even Flip can match.
So what is the proper term for the person who delivers the mail? Mailman, mailwoman, mail person, etc. BTW, theres this rather hot chick who delivers the mail in the Kensington Halifax area. Not my neighbourhood, but she's a hottie. Hot mail........ lol.

You don't see a problem? Expected delivery 28th. This screenshot was taken on the 31st. *I know it's a Saturday but wait* What's interesting is on the 28th I received other packages. If they would update the tracking that would be nice?
Side note yes I do live in a townhouse complex. Previous mail lady told me my route is easy and they like apartments and townhouses because the mail can be delivered to all the units in one spot vs going house to house *except big packages *. Since she got sent to another route I straight catch them dropping delivering tags in the mail box room vs trying to deliver them. That is laziness. Oh yeah and my location the packages get brought to Aberdeen mall... fail lol

To be fair, you can't really go off of expected delivery; especially during the holiday season. I'm sure CP is backed up from thousands and thousands of parcels waiting to be delivered. Ill give them the benefit of the doubt because of that :)

These guys honestly do things that baffle me
I've had packages stuffed into my mailbox before to the point where the box is deformed and I can't even take the thing out. Or they do the typical sticking of the delivery notice on the door even though they didn't even try...last time the guy didn't even bother taking the package out of the vehicle
And of course somehow the large envelopes that clearly say "DO NOT BEND" somehow end up bent.
Definitely going the Flex route; speaking to the Ombudsman is generally useless as well, sure I end up receiving my package instead of it being completely missing but it still took a week or two, if not three over the projected "delivery date"
Not sure if pure incompetency or laziness or both

For some of you, have you ever thought about putting your work address as deliver ? If it's allowed of course.
if it's shipping from anywhere but Canada Post I ship to my work since it's open 7 days a week and guaranteed someone is there the whole day. The reason I won't use my work address if it's Canada Post anymore is because of where I work, and the postal code associated to my work office they default all packages and letters to the main City Hall building vs delivering it directly to said office. It makes it more annoying for me since I gotta drag my ass over to the Hall and only during normal business hours.
Or I just utilize my parents address a lot since they're retired and are often home.

flex delivery basically allows you to get parcels/mail shipped directly to any Canada post office and you go pick up whenever it's convenient within 15 days. They give you your own PO box address.
vs
just to your home - mailman may never come, may not leave a delivery notice, no more missing /stolen packages/packages being left out in the open on your front door, no bent documents etc
absolutely love the flex delivery option and highly recommend it to you guys. It's free too

Once, so far, I've had a delivery from Amazon's own guys. It was a window regulator. I was still at work, the delivery guy called my cell, asked if I was at home. I told him my parents were, then he said that he thought they were afraid to answer the door and asked if he could leave it at the door, which I was fine with anyway.
I called my parents right after to let them know and they had no idea the delivery guy was even there looool.

I've had packages stuffed into my mailbox before to the point where the box is deformed and I can't even take the thing out.
I did once get a package that was nearly exactly the size of the communal oversized boxes (the ones where they leave a key in your smaller box so you ca open it). It fit fine when the postie put it in, since their key opens the entire front, but with the frame around the individual door the box was a very tight fit. I had to stab my key into the box and slowly wiggle it back and forth to scrap it down both sides til it came out. My neighbours must have thought I was an idiot standing there taking 15 minutes to get my mail :lol

theres a difference between buying from actual "ship and sold by amazon/fulfilled by amazon" which comes directly from amazon's warehouse meaning shipped via purolator. and then theres buying from 3rd party retailers on amazon, which is probably ur case, shipped by the sellers choice of carrier, which is japan mail which becomes canada post.

Hey y'all, postie here, ask me your questions!
In a nutshell it comes down to staffing isxues. Carriers with high seniority get 6 weeks vacation and they all take it in December. The relief system isn't designed to accommodate that and they were **very** short on staffing quotas this year. So you have people with a few months cumulative experience taking out routes during the heaviest time of the year. I have 600 "calls" on my route and my average was 100 parcels per day, so for 40 days straight that's 1 in 6 houses getting stutf. That takes time. Priority is: scannable parcels, junkmail then regular mail. Add in ice and most carriers were told to do 1/3 (the junkmail section) then focus parcels. We weren't ready for this but hell did most of us try. I did overtime everyday, including weekends and holidays for 4 weeks, I hate Christmas, I'm tired, broken and can't wait for another parcel service to give us some relief. FYI Fedex, USPS, Purolator and UPS all gave us their overflow this year. CP did a million parcels a day every day in December. Its fucking grueling and that relief carrier on your route is hanging on by a thread, so a smile goes a long way.

I know that our packages are important and it's frustrating when you don't receive them on time, so hopefully this comment from reddit sheds some light on the situation.
Worst time to be a mailman with all this snow.

working at Fedex as a courier, it wasnt much better for us. Not sure what that poster meant by we gave them our overflow..we were pretty swamped ourselves. UPS , not sure bout purolator, at least hires extra personnel to go with their drivers to tackle more in each route. And we dont get vacation during holidays, we go on a blackout where everyone has to be working lol And the snow really screwed us this year, we can't deliver a lot of packages when people live in really big hills and/or streets dont get plowed and we have chances of getting more stuck than usual
December sucks for all postal workers so you need to cut them some slack, especially with how cold the weather has been the past few weeks (and all the ice on the roads).
You can call Canada Post if they leaves a notice on your door without knocking or ringing the door bell. That's one of their biggest complaints, so they've been trying to crack down on that. Friend that delivers mail told me that the other night during Xmas dinner.

^ True... I was at the post office picking up a package the other day and the lady in front of me was ranting away that she stayed home all day and no one rang her doorbell just found the notice... and the post office lady showed her how to read the card and find the letter carrier's ID# and call in to complain about it.
