- Then use a courier service. I'm satisfied with Can. Posts performance. It took
- less than 2 weeks to receive 3 packages, mailed parcel post during the X-mas
- rush, from Windsor. Our X-mas cards, posted from Edmonton were received by
- friends in Windsor in less than a week. The only performance shortfall is our
- local, private substation. They are incapable of filling out parcel
- notification cards properly. But you gets what you pays for and the brass at
- Can Post sure go the extra mile to cover for the private operators mistakes.
- Last I heard Can. Post was also being shown to have made a profit.
