Shipping blunder

[rsmorin1]

I had a ordered a new track & the business shipped it out via Purolator. It was supposed to be delivered last Friday. When I checked the tracking # it was noted as “weather delay” . I followed up for an inquiry since there has not been an update since last Friday (12th) The trace specialist has contacted me twice. Once for all the details of the product, another today to see if I still wanted it shipped to me if they find it.
I also asked what the next steps are & would expect that they will find a 60 lbs track somewhere but what has your experience been on this? Is Purolator on the hook, the business or me?

If it's insured well they will find it, if it's not insured well it's gonna be a crap shoot in my experiences with them and Canada Post which are basically the same thing.

I shipped a 75lb commercial drone in a hard case about 3ftx3ft. They lost it and I was out the money. Didn’t have insurance as I didn’t think there was any way in hell they could F that up. Boy was I wrong. Said it went to the “undeliverable mail” facility but they wouldn’t look for it and everything there gets destroyed. I said give me the address I’ll drive down to the states and look myself. I was the one that shipped it without insurance and I was on the hook so I would assume the seller would be on the hook for your track

"Weather delay" aka in a truck in a ditch driven by someone wearing sandals and doesn't speak a word of english. Sorry for your loss.

Wow, crappy deal for you!

I never saw an option to insure it when shipped, there were different prices based on urgency.

Yep, Most likely in the ditch.

We had bought a chinese quad for my
Little brother years ago shipped canada post, well after many weeks it never showed well we phoned and it said jt was delivered to a house in town which was the wrong address completley compared
To
Our correct address on the shipping label so they were like sucks to be you it was signed for and blah blah we were like its wasnt even the right address nor close so we went to the house and it was a little old lady who said she never got nothing and we did beleave here so back to canada post we went and said we would take legal action more so jusy because of the ch!t show they put us through well 3 weeke later they found the missing quad and delivered it, so we were like wtf happened and how could tbey say they delivered it but we dropped it since
We got the quad but i wonder how much that happens

Had a relative who worked for CP. Involved in a "Hormone Supplement Importing Scheme" - AKA Smuggling Steroids. Worked for the mail carrier in the system and was still so fawkin stupid he got caught. This is what happens when you hire the bottom 10% of the graduating class. I don't believe lots of this stuff really goes "missing", it falls off the loading dock into someones pick up.

Yea, I was just thinking this prob happened to maxs drone

And any other pricey items that go ‘missing’

Our mail didn't get delivered last week because of the extreme cold. Maybe it just got backed up and on the bottom of the pile

The mailman dropped of my property tax's 3 doors down. God knows what else never shows up.

Lots of junk mail makes it though.

So these companies are basically saying 'we want a bribe or your stuff may go missing'.

we got the neighbours "discrete package" from Pinkcherry delivered to our house last night, that was an interesting one to take over to them.

I had to look that up.
I see they have a Valentines Day sale if you’re interested.

Ron just texted me asking what it was, he didn't want to google it

For those that don't know, it's a "adult toy website"

 

[mclean]

I had to Google it as well haha

Did you open it up and check it out?

 

[rsmorin1]

I just received an email from them, They located my track in the Unmarked Freight/Lost and Found Department & are shipping it out. Hopefully not too much longer

HAHAHAHAHA no, no we did not.

The other half said that her friend from work asked her if she just kept whatever was in it.

Well Canada Post and Purolator are owned by the Canadian Government... Sooo I wouldn't expect anything less than the usual extortion tactics.
