I still have members who haven't received calendars. The longest has been two sent Dec 7. I may have to rethink CP fund raisers until this postal mess is fixed.

 

Thanks for mentioning this Todd, You are being very discrete.  In my opinion, I can appreciate Canada Post's awkward position, due to larger commitments, ie the Federal Government. 

But under the circumstances that this pandemic has put the world in, with illness to employees and cut backs due to operating costs, if service is being compromised, they should do the same as other industries and service and stop the service,  To take clients money and not deliver the service is almost  fraud.   

IMHO

 

Seems strange the inconsistency in delivery of packages, must have been some things got stuck in a corner somewhere. I shipped a steering column tube to Iroquois Falls, ON before Christmas, it was there in about 4 days. I dont think they should shut down temporarily,

Covid has added so many layers of process to everything and then if you get a runny nose or cough, protocol says stay home. My daughter who works at Ottawa Childrens Hospital, has had to stay home 3 times due to symptoms and get a Covid test each time. And worry and quarantine from her family until she gets the results. Fortunately she has tested negative. She works with kids who are suffering from things like Spina Bifida, readying them to enter the school system. She wears full PPE including N95 and face shield.

Life is stressful and weird these days for people working and not working, havent had a funeral for my Mom who died last year, havent seen my kids since August 2019. A few mail delays are not much to worry about.

Reading through the posts I had an opposite experience recently so sounds like I lucked out. Bought an emblem and taillight lense and was shipped from Calgary to Chilliwack BC Jan. 6. Tracking # said ETA was Jan. 14. Kept checking over next couple days and the ETA was still Jan. 14 and even checked again Jan. 10th and same Jan. 14th date. Working from my home office (Covid impact) as usual and around noon Monday Jan. 11th and knock on the door and low and behold, it's my shipment. It was a small shoe sized box, did that have a effect? Or is the run from Calgary to Vancouver a very expedited route, who knows?
