Best and worst courier services - Jan 4, 2016 Parents/grand parents sponsor

[thecoolguysam]

I chatted with purolator around 1 pm EST and they said the guy is still in line for delivery. I got email for delivery confirmation around 2 pm EST stating it was delivered at 9:45 am EST . I don't know what's happening.

There's an explanation higher up that might explain things. Sub-contracting effectively...

As Purolator employees are governed by a lot stricter corporate policies of how long can they wait in queue etc where as the Purolator Same day subcontractors on the other hand pretty much live for this day every year.. I would chose them over the 9am service anyday.

I used UPS and it was delivered at 740 AM and received by ADUSEI

anyone else got same signatory ??

I have the same signatory - however, mine says it was delivered at 6:31 am. UPS customer service agent told me that 6:31am is the time that the courier arrived at the centre and he was pretty sure that the courier guy went on queue until around 8am because they will not receive the packages until after 8am.

hmm..so the ups knew that they have to deliver only after 8 am....

I just got the following line added before the delivery line:

Jan 4, 2016 8:58 a.m. Mississauga (east/est), ON Appointment required for delivery, receiver will be contacted to reschedule


I think purolator just want to cover up so that they can say that they attempted the delivery before 9 am. However, they did the delivery during afternoon as they might don't want to wait because of huge line up and came back later for delivery.

I don't have a horse in the race here, but this is pretty messed up that only people local to the area really have a chance to get their application in.

So the best bet is to stand in line with your application yourself? I'm surprised no one camped out with their application.

Only courier's can drop off, not the public. I would have flown out there myself if I could. "If you want it done right, do it your self"

From what you wrote, I'm guessing you used the 9am delivery service?
That's what I used too - part of the 9.43 batch.

What time did you get the call about the delivery before 9am?

yes I did. I got a call in the afternoon. Don't remember the time. but some time after 1 cause they had to investigate.

Thanks! So even if they ate lying, it would mean it was still there before the end of the business day... I guess its better than the next day...

Not reassured by all the previous posts

That is not true. Im not local. I had to send my application a week before to vw express so they can make it on time for me. Anyone can do the same.

Thanks for this information! It is very much appreciated. I guess going forward, local couriers are the best guarantee.

I got a receipt confirmation from Canada/express post that my documents was delivered Jan 4 10:47 am by mahmood, can I rely on that? Thanks.

If you have to use a local courier like that, maybe the CIC website should explain it? I expect most would use Canada Post, the country's official mail service. The whole system is extremely unfair.

You can't go yourself. Couriers only.

Lots of out of province people used the local couriers. It wasn't limited to people from Ontario.

You don't have to use a local courier. The big couriers just didn't get there early.
