HI Palucol,

Well,I've never had to sign for anything from e hobby, back when I ordered from them at-least. I don't deal with them any-more.The majority of the time parcels take anywhere from 7-10 business days to arrive in Canada from China, however in some rare instances parcels can arrive with in days of ordering.I want suggestion from other users here.

Thanks

I hate canada post.

Heres a couple reasons (All different times and packages).

1) Post man NEVER knocks on my door. He leaves the package, even if it requires signature.

2) The tracking system sucks. I was told my package should have been here 3 days ago (Their expected delivery and an agent on the phone told me), and it just arrived yesturday.

3) I've had the tracking system say the items are under review by the border agents for a couple of days, but then I'd get the package in the mail later that day.

4) The tracking system sometimes never updates, and I'm left in the dark where my package is and when it'd arrive.

Ugh.

i think thats just your postman. mine's an elderly lady and she's really responsible. if i'm not home, the package goes to the nearest 7-11

2) The tracking system sucks. I was told my package should have been here 3 days ago (Their expected delivery and an agent on the phone told me), and it just arrived yesturday.
AMEN TO THAT... i've had items departing hong kong for like 2 months, but then ill get it like 3 days later the departed date...

3) I've had the tracking system say the items are under review by the border agents for a couple of days, but then I'd get the package in the mail later that day.
mine just gets stuck in customs

4) The tracking system sometimes never updates, and I'm left in the dark where my package is and when it'd arrive.

I don't understand why they take my package and ship it from the shipper to the Mississauga facility then to the Scarborough facility and then finally to me...why lug it across town, passing by my house twice in the process, and then finally to me?

edit: oh and to date, they've lost 5 of my packages...4 of which I was the sender and 1 that I was the receiver. That is A LOT of lost packages if you ask me.

According to CP Tracking, my item was accepted at Edmonton Post Office on Oct 21st, at 7:19PM. Nothing else since... Like seriously... It's just been sitting there all this time?

gunscythe · October 23rd, 2009, 18:41

No, they're not just "sitting there". They're in transit, but CP won't update until it gets to your local depot, or goes through a major depot (there's only a couple of those in the country).

Why won't people learn this?

Forever_kaos · October 23rd, 2009, 19:52

Sorry I should have been more specific.
Yeah I figure it's either sitting there or in transit.

None the less, I am not worried.

Conflicts6 · October 28th, 2009, 20:03

Oh well. Where can I start?

1. The people who deliver me my packages look like they just got out of a maximum security prison, looks like he wants to kill me....

2. Their prices are Ridiculous. I hade so sent a very small package to the US, it cost $11 freken bucks! The package was UNDER 1 LB!

3. When my package arrived, the sipping parchment on the package was torn, ripped and smashed. Wow.

Thats it, for now, untill they do something else stupid.

Kokanee · October 28th, 2009, 20:20

Was home on leave today, and was expecting a package from WGC. No one showed up all day, and @ 1530 the status changes to "15:16 - Attempted delivery, card left for pickup..."

So figuring the postie was just lazy, checked my mailbox, and nothing... No card, no delivery. It was raining pretty hard today...

Outcast569 · October 28th, 2009, 20:25

Took over a week to ship from Ontario to Calgary with express post. Annoying like usual. Box was thrashed when I got it to.

Shirley · October 28th, 2009, 20:29

So I ordered 2 packages from HK, 1 gets here before the other by a week.
The second one I tracked and said it was supposed to be there, but then I did not hear any knocking, and usually the mail and packages come 11AM-12PM. This time it didn't, called CP head office and told them and she said wait till 5PM and it should be at "this" postal office. Blah blah blah, tracking number said notice card was left. Sure, I look out and it's not there, check the track again and it was the same. Called the postal office and the guy said it's not there. After half an hour, it said the package is at the postal office. Went to the office and he checked like crazy, and it wasn't there, and it was in the recieved pile beside of him.

Damn these punks.

Forgot to add I did get my package at the office that day, and the day after, I get the notice card..
