I ordered a pair of timberlands off of ebay from a buyer in Georgia, I am in Winnipeg, MB, Canada. I got an email alert from Canada Post on November 6th saying my item had been delivered to my community mailbox but I received nothing in the mailbox on my street, the mailbox on my house beside my door, and there was no slip notifying me of a parcel waiting for me at any depot (usually this slip is in my mailbox at home or my box down the street, then I have to go to the shoppers/canada post outlet 2 minutes away and show them the slip and ID to get the parcel).
I went directly to Canada Post without a slip and gave them the tracking number and my info and said theres nothing they could do today as they were closing in 2 minutes and they would deal with it tomorrow (ugh). I tried opening up tickets online but apparently if your not the sender they don't give a **bleep**, and I contacted the sender and he said because It was an international package he's no longer responsible once it gets across the border, and that it's canada post's problem now.
My Canada Post tracking # is: 7035114484397299. In 'My eBay', under 'purchase history', when I click on my tracking number it gives me a small tracking history, and underneath delivered It has a postal code; R3M 0T0. This is not the postal code I gave the buyer. I've googled this postal code and actually found it affiliated with a Canada Post depot in the southwest end of the city, but apparently it's only open 9:30-1:30....
So frustrated can someone please help me, anything would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Sorry to hear you've had such a difficult time with this @kaf.ca.heh2slds! You've gotten some great advice here, but I wanted to also chime in that you should also consider opening a request with us (http://ebay.to/2yooR6x) if you haven't already. As it was sent through the Global Shipping Program, and scans as delivered to a different Post code than you provided the seller you have a good case. Hoping it shows up without more hassle on your part!

Doesn't work for me.
My postal code is V8R 5G8, but the nearest Outlet is five blocks away on OakBay Avenue and the Post Office is even further.
Vastly different postal codes.
Remember a code , in the Big City is a postal walk. My carrier does about four different postal walks in a day. And that includes a dozen lowrise apartment buildings.
Also remember that the Oak Bay Pharmasave and the Oak Bay Junction post office also have postal codes that start with "V8R". My musings were that there may be circumstances where an item is considered "delivered" if it makes it to a CPC owned or franchised location which shares the first half of the postal code with the item's actual destination.
Which would be a bit crazy, but not implausible in my opinion, for rural locations. The "V0R" prefix covers nearly all of the south Island, for example. When I lived in a remote rural location, most people just had their mail delivered to "General Delivery" rather than take out a post office box. Items would have been considered "received" when they reached the post office--possibly even sooner--and not the recipient.
Anyway, it doesn't sound as though any of this has anything to do with the OP's situation, so I'll quit while I'm behind on this.
