Had a bad experience thanks to Canada Post. Ordered from G4C and made sure
to specify that I wanted the package to be delivered to the nearest Canada Post
(which was in a Shopper's Drug Mart). It got delivered, signed by someone, and then
sent back. Had to spend 45 dollars on insurance and shipping which didn't deliver, and
I don't know how to get my money back. How would you guys stop this from
happening? How do I make sure that I get it delivered to a Canada Post office without any trouble?

The shipper (G4C) is the only one who can get a refund from Can'tPost

I too once had a gun bounced back towards the gunstore by Canada Post, even though I personally filled out my address the postie claimed it was incorrectly addressed. Luckily I was on the tracking and caught it at my town distribution center and yelled at them to give it to me.

I suspect that some posties are either lazy or they don't want to deliver guns even though their job requires it.

Man I don't even know how to get a real person on the phone at Canada post.

What makes you think posties are real persons?
