Purolator
Reviews and Complaints

Package was allegedly delivered today. Checked the mail room for package slip/package. Nothing. Called Purolator who told me the driver was in the neighborhood at 1:31 PM. There is a camera in the mail room and no image of anyone dropping off a parcel or mail slip. I believe the delivery person stole the package and pretended to deliver it. When I called Purolator they claimed someone would call me before the end of the day. No call period.

Requested a supplier ship a parcel on my Purolator account, 31x31x33" by 94 lbs, from Edmonton, AB to Nelson, BC.

Received the shipment several days later.

Received invoice a week after delivery for $1131.93. Purolator elected to send it express and weighed it at 242 lbs.

Called them and told them I expect an accurate weight and a reduction of Express fee to Regular service fee.

They say that their invoice weight is a "volume weight". Umm, aside from the obvious trickery and stupidity of the term "volume weight", the last time I added dimensions to lbs and generated an ambiguous weight like that, I slept on the trampoline for a week. Give it up Purolator, I'm not asking for a freebie, just be honest with your invoices and don't send Express without consent.

We have a driver on our route that is a inappropriate at times. He is generally a very friendly person, but crosses lines with staff at our front desk.

He has made a few sexual references and has tried repeatedly to set up our staff with a "friend".

The final straw was when he mad a rude comment about staff not wearing makeup and how unattractive they are.

Our staff is now uncomfortable with this driver and has crossed into sexual harassments.

Last week Purolator picked up a package - they cannot locate it and refuse to answer. Tracing Department won't respond - I have already gone to both locations where tracking mentions package location and neither have information.

This is pathetic. It's one thing to lose a package, but it's another to lose it right after pick up and do nothing to locate it.

On Feb 19 , 2022 I received a delivery from Purolator . On that day we were in the Middle of a Rain Storm . The Driver turned up my driveway and instead of backing up he drove in and backed up on to my Lawn where the Van spun and eventually buried itself . The Driver called his Supervisor who authorized calling a Tow Truck . Approximately 1.5 hours later a Tow Truck arrived . While pulling the truck out a section of my asphalt drive way was tore up because the tow truck had to drag the Van sideways because of where the Van was sitting . I had the Driver take more pictures for his Supervisor and was told that they have insurance for these types of Mishaps but it would be The Spring before it would be addressed . I used my own gravel and top soil to fix the ruts , I just recently seeded them . I was not going to wait Months for my Driveway to be fixed so I purchased Asphalt Patch and patched it my self until it can be fixed properly . I have yet to hear back from anybody so I am contacting you so some sort of arrangement can be made in regards to the incident . I would like to state that the Young Driver clearly just made a mistake and he was very Professional in how he conducted himself . He was very apologetic about what happened and your Company should be aware that he couldn't have been more cooperative . Thank You .

I ordered a $4,500 guitar and the courier is unfortunately Purolator. The delivery person just held one end of the box, dragged it out of truck, letting the other end fell on the ground hard, right in front of me. The box has "FRAGILE handle with care" clearly printed in large and bold font, and their incompetent employee just ignored it. Extremely unprofessional.

These people shouldn't be running a business. This is the 3rd time I have gotten poor delivery satisfaction. This is my first written complaint. I have had parcels delivered to different addresses and have not received any parcels on a delivery. I think I am dealing with very, very poorly trained personnel. I am now going to advise anyone who wants to send me something not to use Purolator.

Hello,

So on May 14, 2022 my grandfather had passed away so I shipped the urn I had bought for him the same day at 11am so that it would reach in time for the burial of his urn. I shipped it from the Purolator Shipment depot in Dartmouth as an express delivery (paying $70 for the package). The gentleman I spoke to stated that it would be delivered the next day so I didn’t worry about it. However, I noticed on may 15 the estimated delivery date was the May 16, but there wasn’t any updates on tracking label. So I waited till may 16 to reach out to customer representative who had opened an investigation on it but had to wait till 9pm… I wake up this morning and the urn is still not delivered and there is no update on where it is. My grandfathers funeral is this evening so now I have to pay for a new urn.

So in total puralotor has cost me not only the price of the original urn but also the cost of the new one and shipment. I’m extremely frustrated given that I paid extra money for an express delivery and when I was in the shipping depot I was the only customer.. so for it to be misplaced is absolutely ridiculous. This is an extremely sensitive situation and the urn I picked out with care to bury my grandfather in. This is not acceptable and I will not be using this service again if it is not resolved.

I am very upset with the Purolator service from Edmonton, Alberta Canada. My tracking was updated at "on the truck" and "out for delivery" at 10:35am MST, it is now 8:36pm MST I have to be up for work at 3:00am MST and there is no sign of my delivery. The tracking has not been updated to say it is undeliverable, which was what the phone support team said, and I called the phone number only to be told I had to wait until 9:00pm before anything could be done. Not very happy about the service from Purolator today.

I had a package pick up scheduled from 1-5

I was asked to leave it at the door which I did at 1 pm.

Around 3:30 I stood at my balcony waiting for him to show up but no one came.

Around 5:30 I received a phone call saying that he came and nothing was at the door.

Not even the driver did not come up to my apartment's door, he did not show up at my building at all. I was watching I front door for 2 hours and I am sure no one came.

The package is scheduled for tomorrow at 9 am and I really do not know if he would come up.i need to fule a complaint about the driver since he is not doing his job.

Good afternoon,

We have had several deliveries returned or dropped off somewhere else. We have no issues with FedEx or UPS and I must say some Purolator deliveries do make it from time to time. This is starting to become an issue because it means I’m going to have to stop ordering from Amazon.

I don’t know if it’s just a driver issue or an issue with your GPS system. But it’s really frustrating when other deliveries make it through from other companies.

I will be raising the issue with Amazon too.

So I walk 55 minutes to the store to get told my Id wasn't good enough what okay I accept a health card and a piece of mail is not good enough but for the employee to turn around and I do remember you and then still refuse me my package then called the contact center for them just tell me we can't help you after a pandemic wear nothing is open to get your id renewed and it takes 8 - q0 weeks because of backlog and the store only holds on to item for 5 days like wham I supposed to do other then call back the person who send and tell them not to deal with this company to much grief I mean the canada post doesn't make you go through this much hassle because they know where in a 3 year pandemic where lockdown after lockdown

Deliveries are constantly delayed, no updates prior to letting me know about the delays. Poor customer service and absolutely garbage at communication. How does this company exist?

My last 6 packages, all were delayed early in their trips. No updates were ever made letting me know about delays. I had to reach out to them to find out things were delayed, the day of. I have to go scrambling to find replacements for some of these delivers as getting the parts is time sensitive for what I'm doing. You're an absolute joke purolator and I'm sick of losing money because of your incompetence. Where I can, I make sure that anything I order isn't delivered through them. I have never had issues with DHL or Canpar but purolator is a constant point of sorrow with me.

puralator is chargeing for deliveries to sicamous b.C. But has a driver who refuses to make deliveries he says he is not paid enough to do so. I have a small buisness and receive deliveries to my address by multiple companies on a regular basis. Puralator is the only company that does not deliver to me and i have to drive 64 kilometers to retrieve un delivered orders. The puralator driver makes selected deliveries to sicamous. Puralator charges for deliveries to sicamous but does not do what they are chargeing for and forces companies to drive to salmon arm to retreive deliveries they have not made.

I have been doing buisness with puralator for many years at multiple adresses and have been happy with service. Now i am haveing to request companies do not ship puralator to me or my company. I have many international shipments.

I have never had any problems receiving items from this merchant via Canada Post. The second my shipment is routed to Purolator: disaster.

They took a photo of the package "delivered" -- a door that is plainly NOT mine, NO unit number indicated. Still, they are claiming that they delivered it -- delivered where? I can see it for sure isn't my apartment. No attempt to follow any instructions.

When I called in for assistance, they told me the delivery agent was new and that he didn't even make it onto my floor according to the GPS. They sent it to investigations and told me I would hear within 24 hours. 3 days later I hear back "nothing yet." It took one week to hear from the original trace agent, Mary LeBlanc, and when she finally got back to me it was to close my case without ever having asked me for information or communicated with me at all. How do you know anything about my case to close it?

Horrible service.

Hey there,

We have a large account with Purolator.

We have had numerous problems with customer service over the past few months, most of which have gone unresolved with questions unanswered.

I've just gotten of the phone with a customer service representative named Barry- Barry would not divulge any more information about himself to properly identify him as an employee. Barry refused to provide an employee ID number when asked, however stated that he had been with the company for 19 years.

I would think with 19 years of experience Barry would have much better phone etiquette. This was not the case, Barry was rude and unhelpful. Perhaps Barry needs a refresher on how to appropriately speak to customers, or maybe its time for him to retire.

I have been using Purolator for client paperwork for the past 4 years. My clients have automatic pick up scheduled every Tuesday and the packages are delivered to me on Thursday. I am paying for 2 day delivery. NOW, packages are taking anywhere from 3 to 10 business days, usually landing in the 7-10 day range. Also, more often than not, the packages are coming damaged, dirty and/or torn. Purolator is still charging me for 2 day delivery and offering all kinds of excuses including that they no longer guarantee delivery at all in BC on manual way bills - that were computer generated/printed by Purolator themselves - yet continue to charge for 2 day delivery with no discounting for complete loss of service and guarantees. How is this even legal?

Worst experience with this company. I was expecting delivery today and they just left a note without even knocking the door saying they missed me and the customer care call center does not even know what they are doing and cannot provide an update. Absolute worst experience with this company. 0 stars.

On March 16 2022 I received an e-mail from Purolator stating that the driver had unsuccessfuly attempted to deliver a package to my home at 50 Summerlea in St-Zotique at 13:50 hours. The driver stated that no one was home and that he had left a notice to pick up the item at Vaudreuil Quebec. This was totally untrue as I spent all afternoon outside removing Xmas decorations.No notice was left on that day. On March 17, I drove 45 minutes to Vaudreuil to pick up the item and referred my issue with the receptionist there at that time. On March 18 a notice was attached to my mail box . The notice was dated March 16 at 13:50 hrs. This notice was now 2 days old not excluding that the item in question was already picked up by myself on March 17..

Not only did the driver provide false information but I also had to drive 45 minutes to pick up my item when gasoline is at $2.00 per liter not excluding that I already paid shipping costs to Purolator

p.s shipping # was [protected] route / 827

I received a notice on my door from Pulolator saying my package (A Dell desktop computer) was available for pick up. I was told I would need Valid government issued ID. Or I would not be able to pick it up. I went to pick it up and was told by the lady working there that she had already given my package to someone who DID NOT have valid government issued ID. Her claim was that someone had come there with my reference number and showed her a picture on his phone of a license that had my name and address and his picture (likely a photo- shopped license that anyone can make) .. this is NOT Valid ID so why would she give it to this person?. I was told I could only get this item if I had ID which I do. But her claim is she gave it to someone who didn't have the paper notice that was left on my door. And didn't have ID. Now Purolator refuses to help me or take responsibility. Meanwhile I'm out $1300.. what a joke!
