Re: [Rant] I hate Future Shop! I hate Canada Post! I've never had a problem with Purolator either. In fact I consider it one of the pluses in ordering from Dell.

Well if you get to know the regular guy, it helps. A UPS driver came back late at night on the way home after attempting delivery in the morning, the day before xmas, thinking it may be an important gift (which it was). So it depends on the person less the company |

How's UPS handing ling your complaint? I like snafu's idea of possibly blacklisting the device.

Anyone else got to the point they do a complete set of photographs for every package delivered just because of damage, theft or other issues? |

| reply to lugnut
are you not supposed to reject the package? or refused the delivery of damaged package?
I had the problem few years back and FS csr told me you just refuse the package.
Or you can return the package to store for refund. But make sure you call CSR and file a complaint first.
Never accept the damaged packages. |

I make sure that all my packages are shipped to my work place. It's always the same guys delivering stuff and I never had any damaged box since. |

week before last i had a box delivered by ups, after i brought it into the house i realized one corner was crushed a bit. Took a bunch of pictures and as it turned out the contents were ok. Who knows about the long term reliability though.But some of these shippers could do a better job with the packing. this was a mini raid enclosure in the box and padded by a bit of crumpled kraft paper. Bubble wrap or foam peanuts would have been nice.

Should this be directed at Anav? I had no problem with a damaged package. My bitch was with the hit or miss tracking CP uses.
Anyway, with a superbox you don't have an option to refuse packages from FS. They don't ship requiring a signature. They simply specify "Do Not Safe Drop" meaning they can happily just dump it in your superbox and it's no longer their problem. |

UPS gets dropped off at the UPS store at Danforth and Vic Park, a short walk away, Purolator sends me to the back acres of Toronto, way up north of Midland and Finch. They used to have a store on Kingston Rd , but closed it. |

In any case I was not home, and it was accepted by a less astute receipient, who did not know what it was, did not know it was WAYY too light and would not have noticed the extra and foreign clear tape used over the standard normal packing tape.

Follow us on Twitter »twitter.com/purolatorhelp This was back in the Spring. I had never had a problem before and
it was just once but infuriating none the less.
You'll be happy to know the driver yesterday did ring the bell and did
wait the 30 seconds before I got to the door.

At least Purolator cares enough about their reputation to monitor and respond to social media complaints.
I'm impressed.
I've never seen anyone from Fedex or UPS come in here and address complaints about poor service.
I've seen a few whiners representing Canada Post, albeit unofficially, whenever they come up for a contract renewal though Responding officially to customer complaints? Maybe when pigs fly |

I used to hate getting packages by UPS - I don't hate it as much now that they just drop it off at the UPS Store (which is actually closer to me than the Post Office). |

That is all they ever do. They never even try to deliver. Multiple times they have done this when someone was home, they just stick the notice on the door and take off.

I swear....we went from Friday Dec 21st until the 28th without a mail
delivery. Then at about noon on the 28th we all had a mailbox
stuffed with 1 week worth of mail.

| I can believe it; according to Canada Post some “areas may only get delivery 3 or 4 times a week”. Take into account holidays, increased mail volume, the tendency for federal employees’ productivity to drop exponentially near holidays and Fridays, you should be happy any may showed up before the New Year. |

I think mail delivery would be fine on Monday, Wednesday and Friday or even just Tuesday and Thursday. They would need less staff.
My wife was talking to our mailman a month or so ago. He said the routes had all been changed. They were being done by a computer program now. We do not get delivery until late in the day now and he said he and others are working longer hours and getting overtime as a result of the changes.
