I need to rant a bit about Canada post. Only a government run company could pull some of the stuff that they try to pull. My speakers went out for delivery yesterday at 10am, and after spending 30min on the phone with people at Canada post they think that I might get a delivery card with my mail today, and be able to pick it up after 6pm tonight!!!!!!!! No delivery attempt made, my speakers sitting in a car in -20 overnight, and not available for an extra day. Plus if I get them after 4pm I won't have a good chance to crank them tonight. I pulled the speakers out of my cab yesterday around lunch time since the new ones should have been delivered by about 2pm. To top it all off they won't compensate anyone for the missed delivery. At least with UPS, FedEx, or Purolator if they miss a delivery time, and can't attempt delivery for one reason or another they will at least refund the shipping cost, or give you a credit for future shipments, or if they really screw up they will give you both. But since Canada post delivers all the mail in Canada you have no choice but to use them for at least your regular mail. And now the mail carriers are making extra money buy delivering flyers with the mail as if junk mail wasn't bad enough.
I have only had one shipment in the last 10-12 that they didn't screw up on. That was some tube sockets that I ordered from China. There was no duty, and they actually delivered it to my door. They screwed up on my Peters, Egnater, transformers, and a bunch of non gear related ebay purchases. I would not be pissed off if they only screwed up one or two thing here, and there, but to screw up every single one that tells me that the mail carrier don't care about their job, or they are intentionally trying to piss people off.
Sorry for the long rant, but I feel much better now. Maybe I won't wait at the mail box for my mail carrier
