      Canpar was hired to delivery a $120 order to my customer. The item was picked up on Aguust 27th, and after accepting the delivery we were advised that they don't deliver to this location.
      They dropped the parcel almost one hour away to another location for the customer to pickup. This was not acceptable and the customer could not pick it up from this location.
      After trying endless times to get Canpar to pick up the parcel and somehow send it to the customer - it sat at the pick up depot.
      I was told I had no choice but to send the parcel back to me (the shipper) and re-send it to them. Another two weeks go by and I still dont have the parcel.

      Canpar needs to return my parcel to me as they won't deliver it to the customer. They also need to accept responsibility for getting this right and not leaving me to my own to try and manage this. They were paid to do a service and I have lost a customer and sale as a result of their actions. It is a month now and the parcel is sitting in some convenience store awaiting piickup - that won't happen. **** ** ********

      I ordered an item online that was shipped through Canpar with shipping costing $100. I was not home to accept the delivery and now they are telling me I need to go pick up the item from their warehouse which is not near where I live or I have to pay more money to have another delivery attempt made. **** ****** **** ******* **** **** * ***** ******** ****. They only deliver during most peoples working hours with no option for a redelivery. It is unacceptable.

      I had a parcel to be delivered to my home. It showed delivered when I was at work. I checked the proof of delivery and someone had ****** my signature. When I arrived home my package was not here. 1st call I was told that the driver dropped it at the wrong place and would deliver it to me the next day. It did not arrive the next day. I was then concerned about where my expensive package was as well as someone signing my name. After 10 plus calls to request a supervisor call me as no one I spoke to in any of those calls would tell me anything but it was my responsibility to contact the shipper. I've never received a call from a supervisor nor anyone else for that matter, not even an apology call.

      I received the ******** "Sorry we missed you" notice on my door on March 7. It had the "make another attempt" dates crossed out. As per the instructions, I signed up online to be notified when the shipment would be available for pickup. I also attempted to use the other delivery options online, but none were available. I checked tracking the next day and saw that another attempt was made to deliver. This failed despite someone being home at the time and not hearing anyone at the door. I would have pre signed for signature if that option was available on the notice.

      I continued to track the shipment and check my emails for a notification or any other information about to where or when my package would be available for pickup. I did not receive any notification and the tracking showed that the package "arrived at hub/terminal from bulk/city trailer" which does not provide any information about where to pickup the package or state that it's ready for pickup.

      After a week, on March 18, I called the customer service number to get more information. The representative told me I could pickup the package from Surrey, provided the address, and informed me that it would be held until March 22. On March 19, I drove to the Surrey location where I was told that the package had been returned to sender the night before.

      Throughout the whole process, I had no opportunity to receive the package and received no accurate information about how I could pick it up. I've ******** the "Sorry we missed you" notice for your reference.

      After the package was received by the vendor, I had to pay to have it shipped back to me a second time.

      Good Afternoon *****, We, Canpar have a contractual agreement with ******* to leave their pacakge without a signature. Therefore this package was left without a signature. Our proof of delivery does not show a signature being obtained for this package.

      Ordered a product a few weeks ago, seemed to be taking a bit too long to deliver. Received an email from CANPAR yesterday that a delivery attempt was made and that the driver tried to call the day before at 9:33. In the email, it mentions the first and second delivery attempt were free, no notice was left anywhere. Tracking # in the email has no tracking results. CANPAR is asking for my credit card information to reschedule a delivery. * ***** **** **** * *** ***** ***** ******** ******** ******* ** ****** **** *************

      Good Morning, Please note this is a scam email you have received. Canpar will never email clients asking them to pay for 2nd attempt. We have reported this email scam to our IT security department.

      The package ********************** has been stuck at the warehouse of Canpar since November 29th, and the Canpar employees refuse to ** ******* *** actually ship my package. I reached out to the shipper ****** and they were able to ship a replacement product, which Canpar claimed was "delivered successfully" (tracking number **********************) but actually it was never delivered to my house, my consierge who is here 24/7 reviewed all the security cameras and no attempts of delivery were ever made. While I filed the missing packages claims to Canpar, I'd also like to make complaints for 1) ********** ***** ******** ******** ***** ****** ****** ** ** ******* *** I've spent hours on the phone + website chat and 2) for losing the shipment while falsely claiming it has been delivered.

      I ordered a package from **** ****** to be delivered via CanPar Express.
      Tracking number: D576005060000050161001
      Reference number: *************
      expected delivery 2022-12-10
      I received a tacking update that Canpar attempted to deliver the package but was "unable to locate the consignee" on 2022-12-10. I was at home all day on 2022-12-10. ** ********* ******* ********* **** ***** ******** ********* **** ** ****** No notice was left at my building, neither on the door nor in the mail box outlining next steps or a location where I could pick up the package. I made repeated attempts to contact Canpar. I was automatically logged out of the online chat repeatedly despite accessing the feature during their office hours. I attempted to call Canpar but their CS line requested numbers which were not provided to me.
      Subsequently, I received another tracking update that delivery was attempted on 2022-12-19. Again, no notice was left. I was home for the entire day on 2022-12-19. The same message showed on the tracking system "unable to locate consignee". I am now told that the package is being returned.
      All contact I have received from Canpar has had no options of contacting them or responding. I have received absolutely no indication that delivery attempts were ever made aside from tacking updates.

      Good Afternoon, I am showing delivery attempts made however the was no buzzer code on the shipment. The buzzer code was received after the shipment had been returned to the shipper. It was too late to intercept the shipment. Please contact the shipper for the refund. 

      Customer Answer

      Date: 29/12/2022



      Complaint: ********



      I am rejecting this response because:

      There has been no proof that delivery was attempted. No note left on the door, no notice of a second delivery attempt, and no option to pick up the package at a holding facility. The tracking history states that the package was returned to sender. This was done without my authorization. The tracking updates never confirmed that it was returned to sender and the latest update shows that it has been delivered to the wrong address.

      Furthermore, I made multiple attempts to contact Canpar customer service after the first "delivery attempt notice" was issued. On 2 occasions, I was logged out of the live chat automatically with notice that I was outside of their hours of operation despite being within their hours of operation. I also attempted to call Canpar customer service but was asked for number which I was not provided with. It was not until after the second "delivery attempt" that I was successful in getting through to the Customer service, at which point I was able to provide the buzzer number. At that point, I did not feel as through there was substantial effort to intercept the package. 

      ** ********* ******* ********* **** ****** ***** **** ****** ********* *** ****** ******* *** ******* ** ** *** *** **** ** ******* * ******** ***** ** * **** **** ** *** **** **** ************ ** *** ** ******* *** ******* ** ** *** ******** **** ** ******* **** ***** ** ****** **** ************ ** *** ** ******* *** ********


      All we would like to resolve this is the delivery of the package in question. 

      Sincerely,

      *********** *******
