It has been a very long three years, seven months, and twelve days since I have lived in what I term civilization. Now, the worst thing about living hours away from the city is that I tried to send love packages to my children and grandchildren in that fine city I lived in for fourty years. At first, when I sent packages to my dear loved ones, it took weeks for some to come back, unopened. This has me very worried, indeed. Have my children moved? Have they lost all capability to communicate? Has poverty struck them? I can't get an answer.
So, I have a few questions for anyone who has had the misfortune of having to use a service which is certainly not as reliable as being able to drive to my sons' house... as I used to do when I lived in the city. But, after my very bad experience with the new rule at Canada Post, I have decided that I am going to wait to deliver packages, in person, to my loved ones. The new rule which I was subjected to is this...
after paying huge sums of money to mail packages... this week, when packages came back to this town that I currently reside in, Canada Post now charges for any returned packages. Has this happened to you? I would really appreciate city dwellers to contact me to see if this new rule is just a this town anomaly or is it also a Winnipeg robbery?
This has completely changed how I plan to deliver things in the future. I am so upset at the 'double charge' for packages that come back unopened that I am not sending things in this manner anymore.
That will, of course, mean that I won't be shopping for many things, where I live, because it's just too expensive to pay these kinds of fees.
My recommendation is to stay in a city where you can better manage services. The wait times for some things can be weeks and months when you live far, far, away.
