and don't worry the canada post people are usually just as incompetant as the contractors from my experience except they make 50000 a year and get like 9 weeks holidays.

This is the way the process works. Each individual carrier BIDS for the job against everyone else who puts in a bid for that route too I suppose. How the interview process goes, I am not sure, and I dont know if low bid gets the route either, but I do know, from talking to my carrier, that the process works that way.
I have not had any problems at all with my mail delivery using a privately contracted out carrier. I had one woman deliver our mail for around 22 years, now we have a second carrier. You have their personal phone numbers so they are very easy to contact.
And usually they are very accomodating if you are on vacation etc. All I do is phone my carrier or leave him a note and ask him to put in mail until my box is full and then just hold the other stuff until he sees I am home and have picked up my other mail. With Canada Post, you have to go through a rigamarole and fill out a card and pay for the service too.
