Canada post were good when they delivered my Trailer Park Boys DVD. Told it would be 3 weeks, and took 3 days.



Now Royal Mail are a sack of shit.

Agreed. It took a month for them to deliver my package. According to tracking, most of that time was spent there sitting around collecting dust. It didn't leave England until a week before I actually got it. :smt013

we should go back to using carrier pigeons.



Canada post do sucks arseholes tho, Royal Mail/ParcelForce can be problematic, and UPS. . . well I call UPS "OOOPS" as in "oops we dropped it" or "oops we lost it"

DHL - they please themselves alot of the time, they've ben late delivering "Next Day" items to me a couple of times, even delivered half an order one day and the rest the next day once.



I echo Pete, I had 2 PS2 games sent from Texas > UK standard Airmail, took 3 days, sent Monday received Thursday, I've had EMS parcels take longer !



at the end of the day (besides it getting dark) we all have storys I am sure, but hey waddaya gonna do

my postman is just an asshole too. :smt013

Yesterday my beloved (full of sega shizz) parcel sent by Andy arrived at home : but the guy did not even try to ring at the door and left a note arguing i was not home. But my wife was home and could have get it.

I will have to go to the post office this afternoon to get it, which means wait 15minutes at least 'cause they are damn slow in their office and there's always 5 people already waiting. :smt011

My postie is great, I ordered some bits from Swallow last year instead of waking me up first thing Saturday morning he reached over and dropped the jiffy bag through an open fanlight window, top stuff, to be honest though most of the time the people that work for post/courier firms are fine its the shit systems they have that fucks it all up, just try Pforce automated re-delivery, actually don't bother just go down and pick up your gaming goodness!!!
