I just want to know I’m not crazy. I feel and see such a divide between how white colleagues and POC Are treated by management.

I want to know if you have experienced racism at work or have witnessed it?

I can't believe I have to ask Reddit about this. I need to send a bank draft to someone in the US. Since it's a draft I didn't want to send by regular mail.

I just assumed I bring it to a Canada Post office and ask to send by registered mail, I give them the address, they put it in an envelope, charge me and give me a tracking number.

Lady at the desk says I must use some XPressPost app. I've been on CP's site about how to use XpressPost and get to "guides" where every link is broken and links to calculate shipping cost and only give me the regular mail postage rate.

Is it really this hard to send one piece of paper over the border? I'm sure I did this once before right at Canada Post, I don't want to download and learn an app for something I might do once a year. Did I just get a lazy/incompetent employee?

As an alternative I started filling in a Fedex pickup, but this person lives in a remote area outside of regular US mail service, and the estimate was around $160. He has a PO Box for mail pickup in town, but I assume Fedex and couriers don't deliver to PO boxes.

I've lived in Squamish (about an hour north of Vancouver) for more than 2 decades. Anyone here in a HOUSE has never had house delivery; instead we have to go to our local post office (there are 3 different ones) to get mail from our po box.

Where this is an issue is any company that insists on an actual postal code to verify where you live. The one for the post office doesn't work because it's not for our house. I've just tried switching internet providers and, although their equipment managed to be delivered (via Purolator so it's ironic) but they can't connect us because we don't have a legit postal code (also ironic because they'd be using the same line as our current provider).

I've found a couple of online vendors who won't send to a po box and insist on a postal code so I have things sent to a friend who's 2 blocks north of me. She then has to go pick my shipment up at a location that's farther than my post office.

Anyway, I've assume this is fairly common except for urban areas. I googled it; sounds like maybe not. I'm just curious about others who live with this issue. Also, any thoughts on how to change this since it's been getting worse over the years?

EDIT: Yes, I've typed my address (and the addresses of various other houses) into Canada Post postal code look up. Yes, it fails. There is definitely no postal code here.

Hey guys, looking for some help here
I have a tracked package coming in from Ontario (I live in Montreal) that has been delayed for almost 3 weeks now.
Expected delivery was 1 day after the item was out for delivery. The only notice I have is that it’s delayed with no further updates since April 22nd. I started a ticket with no help there, then phoned Canada Post and was told it’s not up to the sender to contact them? The sender is now in UAE and barely answers my messages. Is there no way of checking their backlogs or figuring something out? What’s the proceedure like when this happens? Is there a world where the package gets scanned in a couple of months and sent back out for delivery?
I’m so confused. The item was last in Montreal so I know it’s somewhere here.

Hi everyone!

Hope you’re all doing well.

Its been awhile since I wrote a letter — but it will be my first time sending a letter to the US, as I have some friends that live there.

I just want to send a letter - thats it , thats all.

I’m unsure on the tariffs and all that going on, if it would be more expensive for me/them to get said letter…. Or if it will just be a breeze and go by without worry?

Any help is appreciated.

Thank you.

Take care.

Stay safe!

Have a spectacular day.

I live in a house. An ebay seller just emailed me in a panic, because they accidentally:

• Used a common different spelling of my first name.
• Mispelled my last name.
• Added 'Apt 1' to my street address.

Does this package reach me? I've searched, and I can't seem to find something saying what happens here.

Looking to purchase something shipped by Canada Post to a business address. Do they still do door deliveries for businesses as opposed to having to go to a community mailbox or post office to pick it up? I haven’t used CP in a while since most companies have switched to couriers like UPS, FedEx, UniUni, etc.
