Kudos, Canada Post!

Normally we expect people to come here and tell tales of epic failures of C.P. so it's only fair that I acknowledge an outstanding success.

I shipped a package yesterday afternoon just before the Post office closed. It was from Ottawa to Kitchener, XpressPost ( ~ $15.00 ). They guarantee 2 business day delivery, so I was told by the post-lady that the package would arrive Tuesday. The web tracking also showed Tuesday.

Wellllll... I just got a delivery notice. Way to go, Canada Post!

xpresspost from Toronto to Montreal (550 KM) is typically next-day, so I don't know why Ottawa to Kingston (195 KM) would be any longer.

OMG! Do I come across as such a grumpy old bastard that I'd give a fine young lad like Guspaz a hard time over a simple misunderstanding?

My 1st reaction was that I might have mis-written Kingston when I meant Kitchener.

Anyway, those people in Montreal don't know anything about Ontario! j/k

Wups, yep. Totally read that as Kingston, and then calculated the distance from Kingston to Ottawa. My bad.

Doesn't mean it can't get there faster. I received my last few orders the next day.
