If you have to send a very important document within Canada or to other countries,
Which one would you choose?
Any bad experience with any of those services?
DHL, Fedex, Canada Post, Purolator or UPS
There is no multiple choice this time in case there might be other courier services I did not think of.作者: lerico 時間: 2007-12-21 10:38
Had bad experience with Purolator.
I sent something on next day mail. Their warehouse didn't scan my "next day" label and it went by default on a 18-wheeler. My cousin in TO didn't receive it like one week later. Called them up to request a refund, they refused it saying the package isn't lost. I was like... what the hell... I have receipt saying it's by air, next day, and they know it was shipped by truck, but they still not willing to give me a refund.
I generally have very good experience with CanadaPost's Xpresspost, mainly because of their convenient pickup location in case I am not home at the time of delivery.
FedEx is the better one...if you don't mind their high price作者: CHA 時間: 2007-12-21 12:05
I vote for Xpress envelope too - safe, fast, delivers to mail box.... My office uses Express mail exclusively - only larger boxes go by couriers作者: cha_wan_mushi 時間: 2007-12-21 12:06
I like FedEx even for domestic courier service. They are quick!
I don't like VanCity.....they are SLOOOW
Purolator and FedEx both broke my stuff in the past.
Flash is .... slow too
There was this D...y...na..mic Courier.I don't even know how to spell that.
He picked up the wrong document ..... -_-" .. just rush rush rush.. and grab anything they see before them or something? mmm. dun like their service.

Canadapost sucks really bad...lost alot of mails before!
UPS & DHL, both are OK...
Fedex, we use it everyday... and it's reliable, fast and good service.作者: myversa 時間: 2007-12-21 16:22

UPS and Purolator have both delivered wrong packages, majority of shipping/receiving is done through UPS at my workplace. UPS has been very quick for us, we almost always receive packages marked "extremely urgent" though. We also use a local carrier "ATS" once a week, not close to meeting the satisfactory mark.作者: utopia 時間: 2007-12-27 09:29
Well, if a courier screw, then it screw. Never able to gurantee.
Depends on you want to ship through canada or International.
For international, such as Asia, I always choose UPS.
For Domestic, I always choose Purolator for payroll.
For important document, I choose fedex.
Never DHL, it always screw........
I think it somehow depends on your area too. When our office still in Vancouver, UPS used to be very reliable. After we move our office to Surrey, UPS sucks..........screw few times. So I use Purolator very often.. because it only screw once in one year. so that's acceptable.作者: utopia 時間: 2007-12-27 09:33
I use City Core for local delivery. It's a Chinese company which are super quick and reliable.
If I have something urgent that need to be send within Vancouver, I just skip the representative and said I want to talk to "nelson" as I always request abnormal request. They always make it, never fail me. Personal preference? I think Chinese are smarter? I heard from the driver that the whole company are chinese, even the call center are CBC wor.
And it's very cheap in Vancouver area... well not in surrey but I still call them everyday.
