I had issues with Canada Post refusing to give me my parcel because the sender misspelled my name. They put Anne instead of Anna.

The rules say anyone who lives at that address, with ID to prove it, and who shows up with delivery notice can pick up the parcel.

But at this particular retail postal outlet, they were living in their own little fiefdom (Forest Lawn, at the Shoppers, if you’re interested) and making up their own rules. Went on for weeks. Kept looking at my ID and saying I wasn’t the person named on the package. Absolutely, categorically refused to look at my delivery notice. I dearly wanted to throttle the hateful little woman behind the counter. Calls to Canada Post supervisors were an extra layer of insult heaped on top. “No more talking from you. You have to shut up now.” Is what I was told.

I was never able to get my parcel. They simply would not release it. It went back to sender, who reshipped it with my name corrected.

...I also had it shipped to a different postal outlet. I told them what happened, and they were astonished. So now I use a different postal outlet, with less convenient hours because the people there are decent, and I don’t ever want to have to see that tiny little bundle of spite that is the postal agent at Forest Lawn again.
