Over the years I've been receiving packages from Canada Post where the item is marked as "delivered" but has not arrived. It'll randomly arrive a few days later.

I'm pretty sure this is the same lazy **** doing it as it doesn't happen to other friends who leave in different areas.

I feel you on the CanadaPost issues though, a few weeks ago I had a very important package coming. Something I have to be home for and should only be given to me personally, so I took the day off work to be home for it. Therefore I was sitting by the door waiting for it and checking online tracking all morning. Around 1pm tracking says "attempted delivery" "at local post office for pickup with notice". Nobody came to my door and there was no notice left on my door, so I went to the post office the next day to pick it up with only the online tracking as a reference because there was no delivery attempt notice. Long story short I get my package at the post office, and the next day the notice is on my door with the date from the day before...LOL

I would also like to know what that mail man was actually doing on that day
 
I ordered something from BC and it made pretty good time across the country, but the tracking has been stuck at "item arrived" at a processing station in Mississauga for two weeks now.

I'm assuming that it walked off in someone's pockets, or that it rolled under someone's desk. I'm also assuming that trying to get anyone to look for it will involve a shrug of the shoulders and not much else.
 
the post office's near me have Post Masters... and if you ask to talk to them.. you can take all kinds of approaches.. but I like to waste their time with lots of talk.. until they go postal .. their policy has some increasing level of service.. if you are nice,, you get a smile,, sorry.. and told nothing , if you escalate to a 10th degree of ranting and raving and stomping and pulling hair so skin and blood are all over the place.. they will attempt to give you WHAT EVER YOU WANT to get you out of there!! lol... other retailer have this tooo.. anyone have a workplace policy with pictures of the kind customer, all the way to the guy FREAKIN OUT... I have seen them.. but havn't been able to get a picture yet..
 
The new neighborhood I moved into still has door to door...I love it, for some reason it reminds me of older times where things were just more personal. I see my mailman on a daily basis when I walk the dogs or driving/riding around in the morning/afternoon and just today I introduced myself properly and got acquainted by name after seeing each other on a daily basis for over 6 months now. Told him never had door service before and he replied "I can tell...you rarely ever empty the mail" in a joking tone...I guess it goes both ways sometimes.

Best thing with an actual mailman is its always consistent as to who is delivering stuff. He'll usually just leave stuff at the front door for me if no one answers because its monitored by cctv, I let him know usually its just random bits and bolts for my bike or **** of amazon so not to worry...Only **** ups I've ever had been at the actual depot level, or something stupid like me putting a wrong letter or # in the postal code and my package being delayed a day or two.

According to my buddy who's a carrier you will only get fired if you steal the mail. He said you can kill your supervisor and you'll still be working once you make bail, and if convicted, be back on the job once you're paroled.
 
My mail lady is really nice, I still have door to door
 
You need to rally the government into importing in Mexicans to deliver the mail. How do you think you get your food? Mexicans farming as slave labour illegally in US. For sure white people and the privileged 2nd generation Canadian citizens don't want to do it.

Why would someone born in Canada not take a job with Canada Post? A mail-man makes around $65k, a supervisor up to $97k and a operations manager up to $121k. That's not bad scratch, particularly if your living in a rural area. You are basically your own boss and no stress.

There is not a Canada Post supervisor in this country making 97k unless they're working a tonne of overtime.

The salary ranges are publicly available.
CUPW for letter carriers, APOC for supervisors. The manager salaries are not publicly available as they are not unionized.

even then the union will find a way to keep you working.

It's not the pay. It's the work. Canadians don't want to do demanding work. As the older (more capable) generation goes out, the newer generation has been babied by their parents too much. They want to get that $65k you speak about and feel they are too good to do that job.

I spoke to a Canada post delivery guy that comes to my store quite often. He told me they have a very high turn over rate for new entrants. They leave within 3 - 4 years. He was training someone earlier this summer. They quit 4 months later. Same attitude "I did university degree I'm too good to deliver mail." What they don't realize is that a degree in philosophy is quite useless in the real world. Want to do something that matters and gets good pay? Go learn math.
 
As a result of j2's post of misinformation, I decided to look up the actual numbers.

A supervisor salary range is $61795 to $69097. It takes 10 years to progress from the low to the high.

A letter carrier pay range is $19. 38/hour to $25.95/hour. It takes 7 years to progress from the low to the high.

Both are not bad pay, but not the numbers j2 suggested unless those employees are working 16 hours of overtime every week of the year.

If being a mail carrier sucked all those 'save door to door delivery' signs would come down and the union would stop crying about superboxes. Its a good frigging job as you have a relatively short work day, cant be held accountable for much beyond outright theft, and even that's hard to make stick. And #1 is the pension, get your time in and Canada keeps you happy in your golden years.

I have friends in the Canada post service, they have skills that would allow them to work somewhere else, but they would never leave the PO voluntarily.

Happened to me all the time several years ago, turned out to be a local delivery contractor who would hoard parcels for days in an effort to shorten their work day, and then do one mass delivery later in the week. No idea if they got punished over it, but our mail delivery has always been problematic (just got some of my neighbors mail last week) so I've come to expect issues anymore.

It was even more infuriating when I was the shipper, paid for Xpresspost so that the person on the other end would have their item the next day, and then it took 2 or 3 to arrive despite showing "delivered" the next day. I called to complain about it (demanding my money back for the shipping as it was supposed to be guaranteed next day) and the CS office told me that I had no reason to complain because it had been delivered, and they even proceeded to give me the name of who signed for it (!!) which made no sense at all - no such person existed at the destination.

When I told them it showed delivered but hadn't actually been delivered they proceeded to tell me that I must be mistaken, that would never happen.

So, it seems to be a widespread issue.
 
A couple of carriers (actually now referred to as "delivery agents") who do overtime every day at the station where I work will gross over $100K this year.
