  1. Me: How long to mail this package from <X> to <Y>?

    Canada Post: I can help you with that! Let's see ... 3 days.

    Me: 3 days? That's not too bad, even if I could drive there in 16 hours. Maybe 14 if I pushed it.

    Canada Post: Oh, no, no need to drive! We can definitely deliver it in 4-5 days.

    Me: 4-5 days? What happened to 3?

    Canada Post: Don't worry about it! Once you give us the package, the recipient will have it inside of 7 days.

    Me: What's going on here?

    Canada Post: Two weeks, tops.

  2. When I walked uptown to run an errand today (taking pictures of cycle parking infrastructure!😀 ) I had an encounter that I had hoped might happen. I met up with our neighbourhood Canada Post letter carrier. I was able to tell her that I support her union's job action, and that I'm angry that the federal government forced postal workers back to work today. And I wished her well.

  3. So I tried to order the complete #Stargate SG-1/Atlantis/Universe Blu-Ray boxed set from "Visual Entertainment Interactive".

    Checkout offered the option to ship by #CanadaPost. Great, no courier nonsense.

    I get a confirmation email from a BRITISH courier I'd never heard of that doesn't operate in Canada. I email #VEItv and they say they sent it by #ICScourier. It arrives via Loomis.

    It's the DVD set, not Blu-ray.
