SC22 Posted May 19, 2017 Author Share Posted May 19, 2017 (edited) I have a Xbox360, PS3, PS4, Wii U, Nintendo switch (just came out not to long ago I got the new Zelda with it and I am waiting for the new Mario to come out), my Ipad and my PC. I don't have a wife or kids so in my spare time I get to play with my toys and read what I want when I want and watch what I want on tv and eat what (I love cooking so that suits me just fine) I want as well....just the way I like it lollll!!

I have tons of games but have to also make time for my comic books. Try Fallout 4 tomorrow, perhaps you'll forget about the package. It's a great game.

The part that bothers me is the the term in transit I would rather know it's in the same place than be like that for 4 days. It would be easier to just see it marked in transit the day before it's delivered like it usually is the case (99.99% of the time). I am in the same situation as you: I located a copy of something I have wanted for several years, bought it and now the tracking is no longer being updated. In my case it has not been updated in 5 days. I am pretty sure it will show up, as mentioned above it can take a long time to clear customs. On the gaming note: I have played a ton of Diablo: 1-2 and 3. I prefer the random maps of Diablo 1, the skills classes and gameplay of Diablo 2. I gave Diablo 3 a very solid try ( over 400 hours on a wizard and over 700 hours on a Barbarian but in the end I went back to Diablo 2. Currently I am playing single player hardcore and my goal is to complete the game in all characters. I play on hardcore /players8 setting, so it is difficult. Hardcore means if your character dies it is permanent...no more playing with that character. I have had some character deaths, but I was successful in finishing the game in all 3 difficulties on /players8 with a Javelin Amazon ( lvl 92 ) and a Fire/cold Sorceress ( lvl 94) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For those in the same situation keep your heads up and thanks for the kind words. By the way I had talked to a supervisor at Canada Post customer service and asked him to look into it maybe that is what made the package show up again faster.....so you should do the same.

It just is what it is. At this point it is far to "early" in the mailing process for me to contact some supervisor. Checking again I finally got updated this morning that my package has cleared customs and is now "in your country for delivery". Checking where it is, it is in Ontario and I am in Alberta so the update is very badly worded. It will be another 3 days at least, and since Monday is a holiday I am probably looking at Tuesday/ Wednesday for delivery. As it is a parcel of some value ( over $1000.00 ) I am certain it will have customs/ import fees attached ( like EVERY PARCEL I IMPORT OVER $50.00 VALUE!!! ) so that means it will be carded for pick up. I HATE my local post office, the line up there is always gargantuan and filled with people that are wasting MY time doing things that are entirely NON-POST OFFICE items like sending faxes or buying hotdogs ( yes the employees at my post office also have to work the retail cash register and it is in the local 7-11 ) so since I have to go pick it up that means I am getting it Thursday.

It is slow, they have absolutely zero responsibility towards ensuring your package is handled with care and then charge this ridiculous "cost" for their handling. I once purchase a very rare model from the USA, it was still in the original packaging and still in the original cellophane wrap(!) which is why I purchased it in the first place. Customs decided to open the package and opened the original box, the contents of it then spilled all over the floor, they scooped it up and taped it up and sent it to me. The model arrived incomplete with pieces forever lost. Thanks customs, it was a pleasure paying you $40.00 to have you open an original sealed box and lose parts. Another time they opened a parcel to discover a silver age comic ( a Fantastic Four 25 ) that the seller indicated a value of 1 dollar on ( not my idea ). Customs made me bring my auction information, drive to their facility on the airport grounds, prove the value of the book to them ( $56.00 USD ) so that they could collect their $4.00. I also was only allowed to come there between 1pm and 4pm M-F. Did they care about my time? My costs? It was nearly an hour drive one way to get there from where I worked, I had to take time off work ( without pay )to give them $4.00. Seriously??? I can also add that because that office/ location was only open from 1pm - 4pm there was a rather large line up of people already waiting when I arrived ( before 1 pm ) so it was a long wait. I also had a box full of Lord of the Rings miniatures get stolen in customs. The parcel never arrived to me, but the sender could show me proof that it did in fact arrive at Canada Customs. Guess someone there just simply wanted it. Over a span of 13 years, I guess 3 incidents out of who knows how many isn't that bad. But now I need a Prozac or something...huff huff huff.

It is a problem because that post office handles a lot of residences as there are tons of apartments surrounding it in the area. The location should have 2 people working it always (like it used to) but the staffing got reduced to a single person. I feel sorry for the employees there to be honest. On another note: I do not like how business branch out into other areas of retail to garner a market share of things they have no business doing. I feel a post office shouldn't be in the business of sending faxes, money orders, and of course selling hotdogs.

Artboy99 Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 (edited) So I checked again, my tracking has now been further updated. It is still in Ontario, but now it says: In Transit with Destination Carrier Never know what that means. Is it Canadapost? Is it Purolator? Or is it the dreaded CanPar whose depot is on the far east side of town from me and it takes me an hour to go there? And the Edmonton boardies shall dominate this thread! *** very boring at work today, when I walked in I had a full schedule of appointments, they are dropping like flies. 4 cancellations. Is there a long weekend or something? Not for those who work tomorrow like me! Edited May 19, 2017 by Artboy99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
