Another Reason CP Cant Make Money

[amberwoodottawa]

I cancelled my pick up service with CP as they changed the way they billed me.

For a year they picked up my articles twice a week without charging for the service.

If I had 30 items they picked up and no charge. If I had 1 item, again picked up without any charge. Then all of a sudden they started charging me. If they picked up 20 or so items I got a $6 charge, sometimes with only 5 items picked up a $16 charge.

Of course under my billing cycle, I was already into 6 weeks of new shipments before I got the first bill.

I quickly figured that it was not worth it so I cancelled the service over a month ago.

Twice a week for over the last month, the same truck driver pulls up to pick up my stuff and is told twice per week that the service was cancelled in February.

He wont stop unless he is officially told by someone at CP and CP fails to tell him.

So who do they expect will pay for his twice weekly stops to pick up nothing as it sure as heck wont be me!

What a massive and useless government machine CP is.

Unfortunately we are all paying for that useless pick up every time we go to the post office! I don't want government running anything anymore. I am so tired of watching our tax dollars go up in smoke.

We have 3 different companies (2 incorporated companies that sell on ebay under 2 different selling names) and one main company. Canada Post contracts out 1 driver to pick up packages from all 3 companies. This is about 40 parcels per day! They charge us 3 times for pick up even though its all from the same place. THAT is also how they make money 😮

And I believe CP just anounced a multi-million dollar profit ..... food for thought!

That profit is from the $100 million funding scandal.

If they are swimming in profits, I have to wonder why small packets and envelopes to the US just went up 30-100%? I don't think it is because the US has raised their prices. I would say the Liberals are looking for Canada Post to fund a few more of their kickback schemes.

Hi guys.
If you can cross the border, ship with US Post. You get a delivery confirmation and most of our customers get their packages within 2-3 business days because it is send priority mail.
If you do your billing online with US Post, they even give you delivery confirmation for free.
And their priority mail is true priority, not the turtle service that Canada Post has.

Also for those who understand finance, Canada Post is making money. The return on equity that they have is over 16%.
No one should feel bad for them. They are making huge money.
In regards to US Post Rates, they are also very very cheap.

We love them
