Leaving CanPost cost ($1.24) out of it. It's ironic that the highest cost of letter delivery is Purolator.
Purolator is owned by CanPost.

My experience with Purolator is that they are the worst. Tracking consists of "on the way" then nothing. Better answer the door within 10 seconds otherwise you will be picking the parcel up the next day at the Post Office.

If they even knock or ring the door bell. Many times they just leave the stupid sticker.

To be fair, none of the other companies have to prop up Canada Post, though
We recently got a parcel tracked from Germany via DHL. I was really impressed with how frequently and finely their tracking updated.

We must live under a blessed star. The last two places we've lived, if a CP package doesn't fit in the box, they bring it to the house. I can't remember the last time we ordered something important enough to have to sign for it; although our daughter has a sign or QR code or something in their window that passes for a signature (I guess the driver scans it). Anything beyond letter mail we do have to drive into town to mail.
If the government could figure out how to provide or pay somebody to provide letter mail to every part of the country at the same rate, CP would pretty much lose their raison d'etre. There have been a number of proposals, including reduced delivery days, weekend delivery (to complete with couriers) and providing basic banking services in small communities, but nothing seems to get acted upon.

Well yesterday I heard the great news that the the union rejected the latest offer. One of the points that was mentioned was even more shocking to me than all the rest. Apparently according to one worker interviewed the issue for them was the changes proposed would prevent them from getting overtime during their already scheduled work hours. As explained - she was scheduled and paid for 8 hours. if she completed her deliveries in 5 hours then her supervisor could ask her to do additional work during the last 3 hours that she would get paid overtime for. Effectively 8 hours regular pay, 3 hours overtime for the same period meaning she would get 2.5 times pay for the last 3 hours.

I knew posties that would work really hard to finish their routes before their allotted 8 hours, they could then get the 8 hrs and go do what they wanted. What will happen if they agree to that, is ensuring their routes take 8 hrs no matter what.
