    I was trying to buy stamps online, I tried 4 time. The web site did not allow me to do that. I called Canada post. They put me on hold. I took the choice to call back. Someone from Canada Post called me back. She tried with me over 10 min, no success. I became so frustrated after waiting one hour to buy ********* there any solution? I planned to drive and get stamps.Surely, It is essential service, All they can strike, Canadian should do something else.

    Wow, where to begin? In December 2023, I sent a parcel that was to be shipped with very delicate care. Canada Post didn't have the proper boxing to ship the product but recommended this "specialized" shrink bubble wrap and said it would be handled with care with no damages. I purchased insurance on the shipment as I had my suspicions which turned out to be more than valid in hindsight. The product was handled so haphazardly that the wooden frame sustained dents and scrapes and I was beyond livid. Canada Post even tried to say that the shipment was my fault and tried to deny me of my insurance. After a lengthy battle, they succumbed to my demands and paid the ************** forward to exactly a year later, while the Canada Post strike was commencing, my relatives and friends attempted to ship mail to me and it was subsequently sent back to them as Canada Post said it was the wrong postal code. The postal code was changed, without no notification to me, and I ended up having to give my relatives and friends the new postal code despite the fact the old postal code permitted deliveries to me without any real issue.Overall, I am beyond disappointed in Canada Post and some of its employees. I tend to think the vast majority consists of very disgruntled union employees who want more for less and don't give a **** about their job and succumbed to poor quality service. Moving forward, I plan to avoid using Canada Post as much as possible and I hope they become privatized. I have found *** and Purolator, despite Canada Post owning a huge chunk of equity in the company, to be much better and more reliable services. Canada Post has succumbed to mediocrity and they also had the nerve to say they will only hold a parcel for a few days and ship it back when I happened to be on Christmas holidays in the ************* post strike. There was no ***** period from the Canada Post strike and they had the temerity to do such a thing. 0/5 stars

    If a postal code is to be changed for a static location, then the onus is on the postal service to notify the customer of that change. I wasnt notified of that change nor was any of my friends and relatives. The packages were just marked return to sender with no explanation provided. Frankly, Canada Post will one day be obsolete and I didnt even received a formal apology for the haphazard delivery of the parcel to my close relative. Also, if your union employees are going to go on strike during the Christmas holidays, then there should be a ***** period for people to pick up their parcels; especially if they happen to be out of the country. I will avoid using Canada Post as much as possible moving forward. Very poor service and the only high attribute Canada Post has is incompetence.

    My employer dispatched a package to me on November 18, 2024. Due to the **** strike I did not receive my package and waited patiently. This was a system that was being delivered to me to start work as I was going back to work from my maternity leave. I rely on this job to feed my 1 year old child. However, I waited patiently. On December 19, 2024, the tracking on Canada post is showing at delivered however, upon checking the mailbox I did not find the system. I raised a ticket with Canada Post. After 15 mins the ticket got resolved and I called back to Canada Post to tell them that the ticket is showing as resolved but I cannot find the package in the community mail box even now. The agent told me that the mail man delivered it to the wrong address and we are sending someone out again to look for it. After 1 hour it again showed as resolved but I still could not find the package in my mail box. Then I called again and they said that the mail man came to your mail box and has confirmed that the package is there (LOOK CLOSELY). I then took my husband with me to look, maybe I had lost my eye sight and could not see the package. However, both of us could not find the package. Then I called Canada Post again and told them that the package is still not there. They then responded to us stating that the package is now lost. Therefore, we asked them to change the status to lost as my employer wants proof that I did not get the package before sending a new one. Canada Post stated that they cannot do that as they are not sure that it is lost and that probably I am just not looking closely enough. I then went to the Canada post office located at ************************ ON. When me and my husband went there and we complained and asked the lady for help. She said she cannot do anything about it. Then she said "You are crazy people and if you do not leave I will call security and police and have you thrown out".

    Thank you for reaching out. We are truly sorry for the inconvenience your recent experience with Canada Post has caused. Unfortunately, when a parcel scan is showing delivered, and the receiver does not receive the parcel the process is that the Sender would be the one to open the claim for the lost item. Please have the Sender reach out to Canada Post ************* to start this process. ************* can be reached by phone at ************** Monday to Friday, 7 am to 11 pm EST Saturday and Sunday, 9 am to 9 pm EST. Or online at Support Support: Find answers, contact us or report a problem | Canada Post (******************************************************)Thank you for creating a service ticket regarding the *********** employee complaint. Canada post will be further looking into this. Regards,Canada Post *************

    If you read my complaint you will see that is it about the behaviour of staff at the Canada post office and not any damage or claim. I guess you did not even give my complaint a proper reading before responding. No wonder the staff behaved in this way

    Thank you for the follow up. Our apologies if our reply was not clear. We are very sorry that the parcel was not located by the depot and that we advised you to contact the sender to have them open a claim for lost item. In this case we have a delivered scan but the item was not received. Details were provided on how to advise the sender to start the process. As the sender paid for the shipping, they also are the ones who would be paid out for a lost item, thus why we explained how to have a claim started for your scanned delivered but not received item. Unfortunately, there is no scanning online that we would provide to say the item is lost. When the shipper of this item contacts us, a trace is opened for a missing item regardless of what the scanning online states.A separate service ticket was opened by you for Canada Post to address the employee/ post office complaint which we noted in our reply. Should you not be happy with the outcome of this investigation please contact the Canada Post **************** and provide them with your service ticket(s). They are a third party who will review Canada Posts actions.Again, we are very sorry that the item could not be located and the poor service you received from the ************ We hope this clarifies our reply on the next steps for the missing item, and that the complaint with the staff was investigated and dealt with your service ticket created by Customer *********************************** *************

    Canada posts strike has held my fiance hostage in Canada for a MONTH. He is unable to work, provide income for our family. Has had to pay additional hotel / food costs to stay in Canada for over a month now. All because they are holding his newly renewed visa/passport hostage in their facilities. It is unacceptable and CRUEL to hold such crucial and vital documents from people. What theyre doing to him and 1000s of others should be illegal. I hope this business crumbles once this strike is over, the most horribly ran atrocity in history.

    Thank you for your feedback. Unfortunately, with the current strike of the ********************************, Canada Posts operations have ceased. No mail nor parcels will be processed nor delivered during this time. Please note that all mail and parcels are secure in our network and will be delivered as soon as possible upon the resumption of operations on a first-in, first-out basis. That being said, it may take some time for processing and delivery to return to normal. Thank you, Canada Post *************

    This Canada Post strike is ridiculous. If they don't want their job and wages. Fire their *****. Give the jobs to people who will appreciate it. Like the people on government assistance who desperately want to work. It annoys me how the Canada Post workers whine about how they can't survive on their wages. Yet the rest of us survive on a lot less. They're whining workers should try surviving on government assistance then come talk to us about how low their wages are.

    Thank you for your feedback on the ******************************** (CUPW). The ******************************** (****) has announced it intends to begin a national strike on Friday, November 15 at 12:01 a.m. ET. Canada Posts operations will shut down during a national strike, affecting millions of Canadians and businesses across the country.Customers should expect delays.Customers will experience delays due to the strike activity. Mail and parcels will not be processed or delivered for the duration of the national strike, and some post offices will be closed. Service guarantees will be impacted for items already in the postal network. No new items will be accepted until the national disruption is over.Items will be delivered as quickly as possible once operations resume.All mail and parcels in the postal network will be secured and delivered as quickly as possible on a first-in, first-out basis once operations resume. However, a national strike of any length will impact service to Canadians well after the strike activity ends. Shutting down facilities across the country will affect Canada Posts entire national network. Processing and delivery may take some time to fully return to normal.Stay informed.Continue to visit our website for the latest information on negotiations and updates on strike activity.****************************************************************************************************************************************** ********************************************

    I've had nothing but major issues with Canada Post, they delivered me a package to my mailbox. The key I had to said mailbox was wrong and they refused to move the package from the mailbox to a local canada post pickup. I requested a new key which I never got, and had to track down another key on my own to get a key for my mailbox. I have since ordered other packages usually showing up lating using the same address I always have, and now on my latest package they say the address is wrong. They also cannot guarantee me the issue will be resolved before they send the package back to the sender. The customer service *** was horrible talked over me and would not listen to anything I was trying to explain to her. I stated that I receive mail from my bank to the same mailbox using the same address as is on the package they are holding. She essentially called me a liar stating I was wrong and when the mail is scanned on delivery if the address is "wrong" as she states it is it would not be delivered. I would happily use and pay a private delivery company for my mail delivery for the rest of my life rather then ever trust Canada Post with any of my mail ever again. It's been nothing but a series of s**** *** on Canada Posts behalf. Yet anytime I've called to complain I'm talked down to belittled and blamed for their mistakes. Hands down the absolute worst form of mailing or shipping to exist.

    I have never had issues with Canada Post until the last two years. I mail from a Canada Post located in a Shoppers ********. The staff located there are really good but when mailing padded envelopes to the U.S the Canada Post headquarters often ships the envelope back even when the items are declared on a Canada Post form and mailed from a Canada Post location.I had to start charging more and using Ebays Canada Post when mailing to the ***** have recently received an envelope in the mail ripped open and missing a hockey card. It is impossible to make a report on Canada Posts website. It must have tracking.Note I did complain and receive a response regarding this.
