Canada Post delivery is the strangest at times. Slow as heck sometimes, and other times SUPER FAST!
Last week i mailed a large envelope of papers , it left the post office here at 3PM, it arrived at it's destination the next day at noon, (Not even 24 HOURS!!) and the distance was 300 miles!!

I once mailed an envelope and it was still in my hand at the drop box and was delivered at the same time, well not really but it was almost like that.

They once delivered a letter of mine, the day before I wrote it. Now that's fast!

they must of picked up the pace carl. i send a fair bit of mail weekly, invoices to customers and cheques to suppliers from belleville. ie; use to be mailed monday everybody had it by thur-fri. local next day, u.s. suppliers mid next week. now, ont customers, 100 mi radius, usually the same but montreal-toronto mid next week and u.s. end of next week. the big suppliers have purolater or fedex p/u once a week on their dime. i am semi-retired and not in as much so something could of changed but i still see the couriers in p/uing.

All my stuff from Summit I get sent to SCC in Port Huron ground 11:00am next day if ordered before 5pm for free never fail. Canada Post one week, plus a multitude of charges, I'm glad some one has had a positive experience with Canada Post because I never have.

Its because they are legally, the only ones under Canadian law to be able to run a red light. My FIL who used to be a firefighter told me that....so don't hold me to it

My less than 24 hour delivery was only a one time deal, but about 8 years ago i had a letter from Toronto that was mailed the day before i got it, but this one took just over 24 hours.
However i've had the same take anywere from 6-12 days to go the distance of 200 miles.
On the other side, i ordered some machining accesories from a company in California, had them in my hand three days later.
The mail is "Hit and Miss" on delivery times.

back in the early 80s school which was about 6 blocks west of the house mailed letter about parent teacher meeting.meeting was to be 3 days later the letter arrived 11 days later.at least 8 days to late.they could have thrown it out the window and with prevailing westerly winds it probably would have arrived at house.teacher must have thought we were uncaring parents.
