While not related to my eBay sales, I always like the opportunity to bring up the excellent service from CP (NOT!!!).
In anticipation of taking a short break and heading off to Florida with the family, I placed a "Hold Mail" service with CP online and PAID the appropriate fees for this service with my cc. I immediately received an emailed confirmation and 2-days later recd by Express Post, a further confirmation that there would be NO mail delivery until March 22nd.
So you can imagine my surprise when arriving home on March 19th to find my mailbox busting at the seams with 14 pieces of first class mail crammed in including bank statements with cancelled cheques, a new unsigned bank card, cc bills and a cheque for several thousand for consulting work that I do.
Those 14 pieces does not include junk mail delivered by CP which shjould also have been held.
I reported this to CP this morning and was told that I can expect a further call from a local supervisor taking up more of my time as I am certain he will try to tell me it was held until the 19th and all delivered that day.
I am also certain that I will get my $ back for the service however none of that is important. Their poor or absence of service that I paid for could have told a burglar that we were not home, or provided a fraud artist the opportunity to steal our identity or for some of the mail to be stolen by kids or fall out of the mail box and blown away creating a general inconvenience.
Thanks again CP for advertising your quality services, charging too much for them and NOT deliverying!
