This is more or less a RANT .....


On the 20th of October I checked eBay on a Boker 1056 I bought from the US, to see what the shipping status was. It said it was delivered to my community mailbox. This is one razor I have wanting for a while. I was all giddy at the thought of having it in my hands when I got home from work. Well..... I am on my way home and stop at the community mailbox across the street from my house. I took out my key to open my little mailbox...... And NOTHING was there. No package or a key to open the larger parcel boxes!!! I'm like WTF? NOTHING !!! No mail or parcel. Not even a pick up notice. I was totally deflated.

So the next day I checked again..... NOTHING !!!!

On the 22nd I went to the local post office and talked to the retail clerk there. Told him what happened. He said he would talk to the postal courier and see if he knew anything. I gave him my info and he did a print out of my tracking, etc. Said he would call me later to give me an update. Well by the end of the day....NOTHING !!!!

Friday morning I go there....same guy there...... Asked why didn't they call me? He said nothing was found out. The courier didn't remember anything. WTF !!! I work for a courier company, we are actually owned by Canada Post. Must have some brain dead guy delivering parcels or something.

My Boker razor is either still in it's original packaging and someone has returned it through Canada Post to be correctly delivered. OR.........My Boker is now being kept by someone who is dishonest (which opening anther person's mail is a Federal Offence here ( I asked).

I call Canada Post customer service line. Talk to the gal there. She takes my info and such. She says I need to contact the shipper and have them do an investigation on the parcel. I tell her what is Canada Post to do when Christmas time arrives and their volume of freight if 10 times greater than it is now? I've had numerous parcels delivered to my house. This is my 2nd package to be delivered to the community mailbox. 50% isn't cutting it...... She agrees... NOT good at all. They need a better tracking system that verifies it was correctly delivered to the correct box. A bar code.

So the seller would have to contact USPS and then they contact Canada Post. All the while when you look at the tracking history it shows being delivered....... If the shipping is not going to do this, Canada Post will investigate it from their end, but that is the first step I need to do.

Should be an uphill battle !!! Any suggestions ? And my apologizes about this rant.
