This is likely because people don't know how to handle Customs properly - likely the issue with most of LRR's shipping woes, as I've said before.

Even when you do know how to deal with Customs properly, when millions of packages are going through with a 99.99% success rate, that still means that hundreds are having issues. The more you send, the more likely you are to end up in that unlucky percentage.

I'm pretty sure Canada Post does its best to make sure that NOTHING gets out of the country. And nothing comes into it. And nothing goes from any place in the country to any other place.

Basically they're crap, is what I'm saying. Thank goodness for the US Postal Service.

Royal Mail -> Canada Post got me my Barbour jacket in a week for £20.

I never understand you people who have issues with it, the national services (Canada Post, Royal Mail, USPS) I've experienced are always the best, most reliable, and cheapest, if slower, than couriers.


I think Tally has plenty of stories to tell about CP.

On the other hand, I love the USPS. It's remarkable they're able to do what they're able to do at the prices they do it... at.

(That sentence got away from me a bit.)

And they'd be in the black if the Republican-controlled Congress back in the early 2000s hadn't passed a law requiring them to make enough revenue to cover healthcare for all their employees out for the next 75 years. :/

Thats $40 of awesome support that I for one appreciate. You are helping me get another season of LRR!

I'm for $50 now, although I kinda wish mine could be a racket ball. That's probably my limit if I don't talk myself into getting a pin

I'm in for Toothy Smile, plus an All-Everything add-on.

Also, regarding Canada Post, they failed to deliver one of my posters, so LRR had to send out another to replace it. That one got dinged on the edges, but I didn't bother trying a third time, since the edges were covered by my picture frame anyway, so you can't see the damage.
