Title: Canada Post...WTF.
Post by: CrankedToEleven on April 28, 2012, 08:32 pm
I ordered some gear earlier this week from Canada to the States. Got a tracking number. Checked it out today (not from Tor). The parcel in question has been sitting in "Item accepted at the Post Office" for several days. I'm not particularly worried, paranoid, or fearful. I don't expect it show up until later next week. Just wondering if CP's tracking system is really that fucked up. Has anyone had successful deliveries despite dodgy (or non-existent) tracking info? Or does this mean some asshole lost the fucking thing at the post office?

Completely normal. Often they won't scan it until it hits the first US stop.  USPS is the same when you get something from EU or India, shows accepted then they scan it entered/released customs, then nothing happens until it get's delivered. Employees forget to scan all the time

Had a package last week go from Origin Post is preparing shipment to delivered. No customs scans, no progress scans for almost 7 days.

Honestly tracking does more harm to me than good. I have taken to not even checking tracking for 7 days after I have sent it to avoid severe discomfort LOL.

Yes, it's quite common to see 'Accepted at Post Office' and nothing else.  I've stopped checking the tracking as all it does is aggravate me now.  I only check it if the package hasn't arrived in the time expected.

Canada post is horrible for tracking, I have had mis scans on various orders, no scans at all early delivery confirmations ie item delivered status on day "A" but delivered on "B", no need to worry, perfectly normal.

Early delivery confirmation ... the WORST !!! I have had this happen to packages I have been receiving before and its so upsetting thinking your package is lost only for it to turn up 1-2 days later.

Very common when dealing with apartment or end of the street mailbox deliveries ... they dont leave the card in the box til the next day but mark the package as NOTICE LEFT or something.
