I've received packages, from LV and also from an individual shipping
via Xpresspost; Canada Post leaves the boxes at my front door!

(I'm in a "super mailbox" area.)

- Daniel

That is a call Canada Post can make IF they choose because there is no nearby
Postal Station and home delivery is cost effective. You are one of the lucky
ones, but in the minority at least here in BC.
You could lose that service at any time.
In fact if you phone Canada Post and ask they will tell you it's against
policy.

I should have said that it's scary that Canada Post just leaves boxes
lying out in the open, on my porch, unattended. I would expect Canada
Post to be more careful esp with Xpresspost packages because they are
insured and CP would be liable for any losses. I for one would prefer
that my package be held at a local post office for pickup. Thankfully,
nothing has been stolen yet, as far as I know....

(Have you contacted LV and asked them to offer different shipping
methods for online orders? In your situation I can understand why
Canada Post is a poor shipping choice; mention your situation to LV
because they do listen to customer comments. Have you tried to
telephone an order in and request alternate shipping methods?)

If you don't like how a company does business, don't buy from them! Plain

Tons of others have had excellent service from LV. Your rant is with the
postal service, not LV.

Bull****. You admitted that you haven't called them in several months. Even
after I called an LV store today to get information for you and gave you the
phone number, you still haven't called them to see of there's any new
shipping options available. All you're capable of doing is whining and
making feeble excuses as to why things aren't as you want them, yet you're
too lazy to do some following up to actually know for sure. Apparently, it's
more desirable for you to email dozens of messages over several hours
instead of spending a few minutes on the phone. What an ignorant wonder you
are. Pitiful at best.

like Jimmy is going down in flames.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. We've heard you.

Now. What do you want us to do about it? You've already established
that you don't want sympathy, or empathy, or a phone campaign to Robin
Lee, or anything in particular, you just want to bitch.

So now, you've bitched.

You're still doing it.

What, exactly, do you hope to accomplish with your whining, bitching
tale of how hard done by you are by Lee Valley and Canada Post? Why
don't you bitch and whine and complain to Lee Valley and Canada Post?

Why should any of us care about you or you concerns?

You may be confused.
Or you are in some area that Priority Post doesn't have their own delivery.
I suspect you are confused.

Actually, I think it is you who is confused, or awfully thick. Mine
have never come by Canada Post, either, probably for the same reason
that Ed's and Andy's haven't! And in the spirit of finding a helpful
resolution to this, if you will send me in advance the funds necessary
to purchase your item, plus twice the normal Lee Valley shipping
charge plus a 15% handling fee, I will be glad to place your order for
you, and ship via some method other than Canada Post.

Hopefully, with this solution available, you can get the LV items you
want, and can take your complaints about delivery to Canada Post,
where they belong.

Extrapolating your experiences for an entire country

Yes, and accurately I might add.

You might, but as at least three or four people have already noted
experiences at odds with your tale of unbearable woe, it might not
qualify as "accurately".

Fine. Lee Valley sucks, Canada Post sucks - move on and put the
tragedy behind you.

Is that when you were hired by either Woodcraft or Lowe's to become

Good luck, buddy.. we see right through your feeble attempt.

Jimmy, you've got some set of balls to tell a man that he can't figure out
how something gets shipped to him and then to tell him he's wrong.

Now, I've got nothing to say about Canada Post as I've never used it, nor
have I had anything shipped TO me from the Great White North, but I will go
so far as to mention that it is, in fact, a REALLY big freakin' country
you've got up there and that it might not be the same everywhere.

As Andy Warhol might've said, "You've had your 15 minutes....sit down."

Anyhow, if LV or other places offered same day delivery to your door and
expected you to pay for that service, you'd bitch about it not being free,
right?
