    I find it absolutely adorable when people who have never experienced Purolator - they claim to be a package company - complain about any package shipping issue.

    • You want invisible buildings? Purolator can’t see 35-storey buildings rising high above a sea of bungalows next to a massive landmark.
    • You want customized delivery? If your building has a blue box system FUCK YOU they’re gonna need a signature today and you’re gonna have to beat them to the truck to give it.
    • you want careful handling? I think they use packages as ramps to get out of the snow or over speed bumps
    • you want friendly service? They’re just pissed you burst out of the bushes to beat them back to the truck
    • safe pick-up of the package they can’t seem to deliver? Get out near the airport where it’ll probably be out in the ditch, but be there during the convenient hours of 2 and 4, week-days, and you can fight the thieves for your stuff.

    i just don’t know what keeps these guys in business.

      I’ve never heard of this company in the US, but I assume they have super cheap rates. That means they will continue to be the first choice of shippers that are covering shipping costs. This is especially true for high-volume businesses that move so much product it’s cheaper to replace a couple of lost packages than to pay a better shipping company for every one.
