Things are surely scrambled, two days ago I got the latest bill for my credit card, yesterday I got the one from the beginning of december for the same card...... so "Last in First" out is what's been happening in reality.

Same here. Caused some confusion at first, DH thought we had missed paying a bill. Switched over to online bills during strike, may wait until after May and switch back to receiving paper bills once fear of strike over.

over a month since the strike ended and things are still a mess.  It's taking forever to get any lettermail.  Even things mailed recently are taking over twice as long or more to arrive, if they arrive at all.  Still waiting for 2 very important letters that are long, long overdue.  It was 3 letters but one finally came yesterday; it should have been here 2 weeks ago at the latest.

An item i purchased from the US on Jan 3 arrived in Toronto (Gateway) on the 13th.  Nothing since.  9 days without moving or even a scan.  It's getting to the point that CP can't deliver a package from A to B anymore.

Not sure how they are planning on competing with all the other delivery services around now.    I used to only buy from sellers that shipped via Canada Post (or the postal system if they were international).  Now i try to avoid using CP as i know it will take forever to get here, if it arrives at all.

Well, I finally got my outstanding order from the strike era this week. I got some old mail that should've received in December. But overall, it's up to date now.

The funny part is that, in the mean time, I've been getting orders that I placed very late in December, and early January, all pretty much delivered in record time. So, at least for me, I can't really rant anymore about CP.
