with love from me to you
Dear Canada Post,
Gosh, it's been awhile since I've thought of you. Since I no longer reside in Canada, I haven't felt the need to vent about how your employees leave delivery notifications on my door when I'm in fact at home and perfectly able to receive packages, or how your employees sometimes just leave expensive packages, like baby strollers, outside my door, when I am not around to answer the doorbell. I had almost forgotten about what a shining star of a monopoly you are, and then, a few days ago, I received a package from your cousin south of the border.
Oh, how I wish that you could be more like USPS! The smaller package that my folks mailed from Edmonton to me here cost three times as much, and took five weeks longer to arrive. What's up with that? See? It was mailed on the thirtieth of January, and it was here on February 5th. And check out the postage, while you're at it. Harumph. Obviously, you're studying the business model of Air Canada way too closely ...
Regards,
Me
I hate Fed Ex. UPS I found has had much better service.

Julie hates Canada Post and sometimes thinks about forgoing healthcare if we could have American Post instead.

LOL! That's too funny. Everyone complains about the USPS and their incompetence down here ... but maybe they're AOK?

Ack, I'm still waiting for something from USPS that was mailed on Jan. 31. Maybe they're selectively efficient?

Having used both sets of postage I way prefer the American set to Canadian. UPS is just great in the states, and the folk in the post office are so helpful it surprised me.
