I hate Canada post!

[FatCatRC]

I had a 900 dollar order come through free and clear with no duties or fees and this morning the dumbass driver scanned the package wrong and it's now going back for custom review for duty fee dispute. Now I'm for sure going to get nailed for fees. Why do postal services have to screw things up on such a regular basis.

This order has litterally every part to put back togethor both rigs that are down, it's a 900 dollar order marked as a gift that was free and clear only to go back to customs for review because of the delivery driver being an idiot. Can't get much worse than that.

alright i see your side more clearly now yeah eletronic failures that i had to pay for myself arent as bad

Was the value of the package printed on the outside label? If so, parcels that are in excess of 200$ cannot be deemed as gifts,,,,,this happened to me fairly recently.

Have you considered using Canada Post's Flex Delivery service? It ships to the post office instead of to your house. I don't get dinged near as often when I use it but unfortunately, not all companies will ship to a P.O box address. Btw, it's free and a great way to get around arguments with a spouse if your married.

No the company i use (shall remain nameless) lies on the declaration and labels it lower value and as a gift. If they open it and start scanning barcodes they will for sure charge fees.

They won't do that in my city atm everyone is still afraid of the rona with only like 50 cases total since it started.

 

[FatCatRC]

[bicketybam]

That's a lot of GPM!

 

[Overpowerrc]

Plan on running it asap. If it breaks you only have I think a 60 days warranty

 

[FatCatRC]

I just realized they labeled it as a 6.00 dollar value......it was a 900 dollar order.

Amain is almost a guarantee. They ship with a company that declares everything. I had to stop buying from them because of it.
