Martinnfb Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 Package arrived from China to Richmond BC in two days. Customs processed it in a matter of one ( May 6) . From Richmond to Calgary is what , about 7 hour drive? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlrwestSiR Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 That about sums it up sometimes. I'm waiting on a package that was sent from Barrie, ON which is 85km from me. Less than an hour's drive. I'm on Day 3 at the moment. Hopefully it's there's when I get home. That being said, the postal worker who delivers our mail is great. If I'm not home, she'll knock on our neighbour's door and leave it with them if she can. Carl 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Hickey Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 Yep, I know this pain..even though I live in North Vancouver I have tracked my packages to the Richmond Depot, roughly under 30 k, and there they go into a black hole...to emerge maybe a couple of weeks later...not sure why, but I suspect it is a combination of job cutbacks and more packages being shipped via mail these days... Unfortunately, it is what the Canadian Mail system is these days.. Pete 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martinnfb Posted May 9, 2019 Author Share Posted May 9, 2019 Also , this a replacement fro my first package that arrived damaged. Of course Canadian side doesn't not accept any responsibility, because it was international transaction and it surely happened at the other end. Their services are way too expensive to treat people like this. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martinnfb Posted May 9, 2019 Author Share Posted May 9, 2019 That is actually a possibility. Once I sent a small parcel to Ernie and it took almost a year or longer , can't recall the exact time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smitty44 Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 They just spend extra time with your packages since they are addressed with the names of war criminals alot of the time. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martinnfb Posted May 9, 2019 Author Share Posted May 9, 2019 But that would be discrimination of war criminals. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GazzaS Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 Postal services everywhere do it. If customs is involved, it’s worse. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
