I have all 5 star reviews and 1 4 star review with no comment left. That is almost worse than a 1 star. We even contacted the person and they said everything was perfect.

Naw, that's great. It tells you the reviews are honest and the owner doesn't badger people for five stars...

I assume everywhere gets loads of fake 5 and spurned 1 star reviews. As long as the average is over 4 they're probably fine.

Now if a proprietor is arguing under the review with the person who left it? I'll never go there for any reason. If you can't be professional enough to present yourself accordingly there nothing you do can be trusted. You can disagree to the reason but the petty bitchy wieners who argue with a review like someone here arguing politics? Forget that business altogether they may as well not exist

Annoyed why my package being delivered by UPS is delayed due to the postal strike. Why does that affect it? And alright it’s Friday the 13th blood spattered crocs.

Probably because everybody's is moving from Canada Post to other services like UPS all at once given the strike? I assume they've gotten a big surge in the time since.

Sounds like my grade 12 English teacher. She basically said if you're not taking honors English...you couldn't be a good enough student to get higher than 80%.

I'm still annoyed about getting 12 out of 15 on my essay on "The Lottery". I had a friend who was in an honors class copy it word for word and hand it in. He got 24 out of 25. We had another friend with the same teacher I had who had a C grade reputation who missed the assignment as he was away. We collaboratively wrote on for him with two other honors students. She gave him 11 out of 15. Some people can not be pleased.

this is very true

i know all my delivery guys - ups, fedex, puro, etc (i see most of them every day) and they have seen the amount of stuff they need to get delivered almost double since canada post went on strike.

what ticks me off is i've got 2 parcels coming to me and 1 that i sent all stuck "somewhere" with canada post. everything was shipped a day or two before the strike happened. it would have been nice if canada post would have given a little heads up

This is exactly what it is. All of the other parcel companies are slammed right now. Canada post typically delivers 20-25% of all mail service parcels in the country, even if it’s divided evenly that’s a lot of extra work to be split by the 3 other major carriers who are generally running near capacity as is.

Well they promised me a date and now it’s not that, can you get a refund?

I also have credit cards in the mail that are in limbo. Now they are sending new ones by courier.

I don’t think they’ll give me a refund for an order that you placed but I’m willing to give it a shot. Just pm me your order details.
