Canada Post - Package delivery

Recently we sent a pre-paid carton to a Burlington On address. The address information was labelled correctly. One week after mailing this carton we received a delivery notice requesting we go to the Post Office. When we handed the notice to the Shopper's Drug Mart employee who works at the Canada Post station we were told that we owed over $11 to receive...

Canada Post Canada post to UK. $250 9 weeks no word

A package was sent via Canada Post to the UK. Over $250.00 and 9 weeks later no word on the package since it left Canada (supposedly) 8 weeks ago. Could have paid $450.00 to have it there in 6-8 days! Guess I should have…ot gone with a far more reliable company like FedEx or UPS. Or put the apple Tag into my package to keep an eye on it.

Barbaric considering the current times we live in.

Absolute Robbery!

Our verdict: Complaints Board's thorough examination reveals Canada Post as a legitimate entity with notable strengths. Despite a 5% resolution rate on customer complaints, which invites a closer look, Canada Post stands out for its commitment to quality and security. Clients considering Canada Post should delve into its customer service record to gauge compatibility with their expectations.

Perfect Trust Endorsement: Canada Post achives 91% ligitmacy per Complaints Board. Highly recommended, yet always stay vigilant.

Canadapost.ca you are considering visiting, which is associated with Canada Post, is very old.

This could be an indication of a very positive reputation.

  • While Canada Post has a high level of trust, our investigation has revealed that the company's complaint resolution process is inadequate and ineffective. As a result, only 5% of 1107 complaints are resolved. The support team may have poor customer service skills, lack of training, or not be well-equipped to handle customer complaints.
  • No reviews for canadapost.ca on popular sites. Be cautious and do additional research. Look for information about the Canada Post and be careful with personal information or transactions.

Canada Post Shipping costs

I am so disgusted at your prices and non stop price increases.

Can you please explain why a magazine cost 20 dollars to mail and is not paper mail?

Van you please explain why its cheaper to send out of country then the next block?

I am constantly guessing at your rates this is so unfair how can one know the best way to ship things? It cost 12 dollars to send a penny to the states.

Yesterday I was quoted 238 dollars to ship 12 pop bottles empty from canada to london.

I received your solutions card what a joke I save like under a dollar evertime where are the discounts?

Governments the enemies within

Extorting all they can from the poor

Your service is way overpriced what the heck ever happened to affordable mail? Such a rip off for us trying to make money using a government service. This world needs less government ripping us off.

Claimed loss: money extortion

Desired outcome: I would like to see some better pricing as Canada post has become an overpriced nightmare with disgusting prices . there is no way the costs should be so high . End government corruption and greed .

Canada Post Express Post Fail: Costly Consequences and Disappointment

My recent experience with Canada Post's Express Post service was extremely disappointing. Despite paying for express shipping, my package remained in Canada for an extended period, causing a delay that now jeopardizes an important appointment and flight. This delay is not only inconvenient but will also result in significant mental and financial damages.

I contacted Canada Post to address the issue and requested the package be sent back to me, but they were unable to expedite the process. This lack of flexibility and the subsequent consequences have left me frustrated and dissatisfied.

I hope Canada Post takes this feedback seriously and improves their service to prevent such costly mistakes in the future.

Claimed loss: I just want my package back before 18th January. Because I have a flight in 18th January and I need the document inside the package.

Desired outcome: I just want my package back before 18th January. Because I have a flight in 18th January and I need the document inside the package.

Canada Post parcel delivery

I ordered a small item from the US. It was tracked just fine until it landed in Toronto:

International Transit

Departed

TORONTO, CANADA

December 19, 2023, 12:36 am

Nobody can tell me what happened to it after that or where it departed to. I keep getting the textbook answer, it's still on the way. It either got lost and CP won't admit it or the plane is still circling the airport (since Dec 19th) and will dump the package when it runs out of fuel. I'm thinking the former. Any correspondence with CP states the same thing: Get the sender to launch an investigation. REALLY? Like it's the sender's problem? WHAT A JOKE!

Canada Post - Mailbox instead of community mailbox

My ELDERLY parents moved to 263148 Wilder Lake Road, Durham, Southgate. They wanted to put up a mailbox and were told they couldnt. There are at least 12 mailboxes to the WEST of their laneway and at least 6 mailboxes to the EAST of their laneway. IT MAKES NO SENSE why they cant put a mailbox in when there are already so many on their road. Their laneway...

Canada Post No attempt was made to deliver my package

Tracking ID: [protected]

I got a message from Amazon stating that the delivery was attempted on 2023/11/21 at 3:24 pm. As there was no delivery notice I checked my cameras and clearly no attempt was made to deliver the package. This has happened multiple times in the last 6 months. I work from home (where the package was to be delivered) so I doubt I wouldn't have heard the doorbell. Canada Post's service is not what it used to be...

Canada Post - Delivery of my mail.

I have a slot in a community mail box. Delivery has been pretty good but in the last 6 weeks or so, I have been getting other people's mail, like my next door neighbour, or mail for someone on a street a few blocks away that has the same street number but the wrong street that starts with the same letter as mine. I live at 10 Penrose Court, Brampton...

Canada Post Shipped out a parcel and receiver never received it and it's been 5 weeks

My, dad shipped out a parcel and the receiver (Amazon) never received it and it has been over 5 weeks! Now he's out of his money. 😞 He's called both Canada Post and Amazon and no one has been helping him. He's gone in person to Canada Post and one of the employees even remembers my dad returning it. My dad has filed a complaint and was waiting to hear back something and he never heard back. When he call yet again he found out his case was closed.

This is getting ridiculous. The parcel is lost and you owe my dad money. Please make it right.

Claimed loss: $262.00

Desired outcome: Resoved this please.

Canada Post - Employee job knowledge

Clueless Canada Post employee On October 14th around noon, I went to the Canada Post outlet at 407 Laurier Ave. W., Ottawa in Minto Place to mail a Remembrance Day lapel pin from the Canadian Legion to a friend in Scotland. There were no other customers around. The female Canada Post employee asked what was in the packet. I said a Remembrance Day pin. She...

Canada Post Post office services/hours

I reside rurally and as such, have no choice but to receive my mail at the post office. As you can appreciate, in today's economy I have to work 3 jobs to sustain my household and therefore unable to pick up parcels during the open hours of operation in the Bath Ontario location. The office hours should accommodate lone led households that work the same office hours as the postal service including weekends - evening hours should be offered - at least one evening per week - to allow for mail parcels to be picked up when they don't fit in the postal box. Alternatively, if this isn't an option, parcels should be left on the doorstep as these are items needed for work. Historically, I have worked with Postal staff who were flexible in allowing workarounds to accommodate me, however today I attempted several times to call to provide authorization for mail pick up by someone else as there are items needed for work waiting for pick up. I called 5 times - no answer. When I called after my party attended to pick up my parcels and was denied - the woman was rude and curt.

Desired outcome: Evening hours - at minimum one per week to accommodate those of us who cannot attending during the current office hours.

Canada Post Home delivery of mail

On Sept. 5th/23, 3 envelopes were mailed from the U.S. which had nail strips inside. On Sept. 12th, I received 1 of the 3 envelopes ripped open and the contents damaged! I contacted Canada Post and their response was "mail gets damaged." No kidding! So, who eats the cost, me? When I inquired about my other 2 pieces of mail, I was told sometimes mail gets damaged going through their machine (so... what did u do with it? Keep it? Throw it out?) and without a tracking number, there was nothing they could do. Are you serious? You lost it, find it! I have been receiving mail from the U. S for almost 3 years and never had a problem and I would like Canada Post to be accountable for their unacceptable service.

Desired outcome: I want my mail and if that's not possible, I'd like to be reimbursed for the money I lost.

Canada Post Delivery not attempted

Twice today while at home a delivery notice was left instead of the delivery person coming to the door to obtain the required signature. No attempt was made as I was in my house all day in the living room near the door. So now instead of getting my packages today I have to wait until they bother dropping them off at the post office. This is extremely poor service. Ups and fedex manage knocking on the door just fine.
