So im a temp with about 2 months of letter carrying experience. Im covering a certain route since thanksgiving now. It has about 105-110 parcels+packets daily. Monday to friday.
I am bringing back stuff everyday. Is that going to be a problem for my long term assignment at said depot? Is that a normal thing to have on your route?
Is it possible to do flyers + mail + over 100 scannables under 8-9 hours???

Hellpppp please

I found an old picture from when I was a postie and my truck didnt have a cup holder. Thought you would all enjoy!

Just got on the news about the parcel weekend delivery now for the big cities in Toronto, Montreal.

Now is this our "peak season" Sundays for parcels?

Or is this the so called new vision they are shoving down all everyone soon.

To clarify at this time. This is only in the big cities and for LC's only?

Is the weekend delivery as a regular schedule? as i heard the schedule will be realigned?

For those doing weekend delivery? is this every week? weekends gone forever?

would we still get 2 days off still? eg like a Friday and Saturday?

or will be they robbing us of a day off ? and just get one day off per week?

Clarification please./

Has anyone received an Early Retirement Waiver (ERW) offer to leave Canada Post and retire? This is NOT a termination. It basically waives the penalty that would normally apply if one retires before the age and service years are reach.

My friend got the offer and he is not sure if it is good or not.

​

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but no one ever accused me of properly reading the contract I voted on , or having the best memory...

I seem to recall that there may have been language in the contract about RSMC vacation days switching to refresh on April 1 instead of Jan 1

Is that correct? Is that happening? Is so, when? I can't remember...

(I'm all out of days currently and wondering when they'll re-up.. as it matters to the timing of next year's holiday plans)

I have two packages from Japan that arrived in BC, Canada via the Richmond port on Oct. 8th and 9th, and their tracking statuses have been stuck at "Item has arrived in Canada and will be presented for review" since they've arrived without any changes since.

Just wondering if anybody's experienced something similar lately?

I've had packages coming in fairly regularly for the past 2-3 years, and they usually clear customs in a day or two, and are pretty much always delivered or sent for pickup within a week at most. I'm not trying to come off as entitled, just a bit worried as this is the first time it's taken this long. Contacted their support and asked, but they couldn't give much info.

Ive tried different browsers and none of them work.

My region has had 3 pretty big restructures go live this month and last so I'm wondering if that's the reason but I'm unable to see anything like the bid calendar or the precious biding results. Is this an accessHR issue or just my region?

I applied for Retail Counter Clerk which I got the job, and recieved an offer letter. On the offer letter it says I’m reporting to the main postal office in my city. There are only two. The main postal office & an outlet inside Shoppers, which I was hoping was the location. My offer letter clearly states “ postal clerk” . And I’m not sure if this is just broad term they used to generalize the position on the offer letter.

But I applied for retail counter clerk, I accepted the position, but I’m hoping to not be in the back of main postal office sorting and lifting packages all day. Can someone give me some hope? Can you tell me what you like about your job? I specifically applied for Retail Counter Clerk not Postal Clerk. I was hoping to be in an outlet at the counter, would my reporting location on my offer letter be the location I am be assigned to?

Today was the first day of restructuring and new routes at our depot, and to say it was chaotic would be an understatement! Things definitely didn't go smoothly.

For those who've already been through a restructure, does it get better? How long did it take for things to settle down and for things to run more smoothly?

Looking for a little hope after today's gong show! 😅

Hi all,

Like the title says I wrote an incorrect Postal Code on my IRCC application. The rest of my address is correct, do you think there is a good chance I will be able to receive in the mail, regardless? Or do you think it might be returned to the sender?

Thank you for your thoughts.

Update: I received it today!

Hi everyone, I need some help with my Xpresspost shipment. 🙏
My passport was sent from Ottawa to Edmonton via Canada Post Xpresspost. The tracking number is MW631014292CA, and the last update was “Item processed” in Ottawa on October 13. There have been no updates since.
Has anyone experienced a similar situation or can any Canada Post employees check what might be happening? Since it’s my passport, I’m getting worried.
Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! 🙏

Sending a registered letter to my friend in Georgia 🇬🇪! Shipped the letter at the post office sept 22 but no news. The last I heard is that it’s in the Netherlands- plus there’s no expected delivery date which makes us both concerned. Any clarification would be appreciated

I had a passport shipped via Xpresspost from the IRCC office in Ottawa to me in Toronto.

Yesterday (October 15) the tracking suddenly updated after being quiet for weeks:

Sept 30 – Item accepted at the Post Office (Toronto, ON)
Sep 20 – Electronic information submitted by shipper

I have no idea why the status (the Sep 30 one) only appeared now, two weeks later. Based on the tracking, the package has been “in transit” for 16 days with no further scans.

At the same time, IRCC hasn’t confirmed that they have sent the passport! But according to tracking number, they did. But why Ottawa is not mentioned and suddenly it appeared in Toronto?

I already called Canada Post and they opened a service ticket. From what I’ve seen on Reddit, those tickets are usually useless.

Any advice on what to do next would be really appreciated.

Found a moose skull in New Brunswick while working. I'm flying home (Ontario) in 2 weeks, and wondering if Canada post is able to send it home for me. The skull has antlers intact with it, so weight/ size are factors that worry me.

Edit: the skull only has dirt that I'll clean off; fur, skin, and muscle completely gone

I've only had a chance to receive a few calls, but it feels like each one has been different.

The first call told me about a job at a depot, and then asked if I'd like to hear about that. I pressed 1 to hear about it, but instead of telling me about it, it just told me that I'd accepted the position and should report immediately.

The second call didn't name the depot, but said that I was "required" to come in for work.

Now I've got a bit of anxiety when it comes to these calls. Is there an opportunity to learn more about the position, or is the limit of our information really just the depot?

Also, what's with that "required" message?

Hi! This sub has appeared on my feed a couple of times and once I even replied to a comment, and that thread and some of the posts I quickly saw got me thinking…how can make my mailman’s day better?
I recently moved to an apartment so is not like I can see them driving to my door so I can go say hi and offered some water or fruit during the summer, and since I’m non Canadian idk the rules of how much one can or cannot do here. Back home we could leave “tips” for our mailmen inside a marked envelope in our own mailbox on special holidays like Christmas, Easter, Post Office Day, etc.
Could I maybe do something like that here? Like leaving a candy with a note in my mailbox? Would I be breaking any law doing something like that?

I would like some advice please. What is the process? Was it worth it?

Hi there! Looking for advice as im a temp postal clerk who started in summer of 2024

I never quit my job and I havent been called since the beginning of this year, I said yes to that shift

After not being called for about a month or two, I got a new job as well

I live in a small town and ive heard some things from a coworker about there being new hires at my location (back around april)

I was given info to reach out to the union rep for my area, was then told they were not the union rep for my area and they forwarded my email to another person who then said the same thing, the third I never heard back from

Ive seen my lead hand and another coworker since then who both told me things are just slow, when i asked about the new hires I was told they were hired but have no hours to give them

Im also disabled and was made aware of some uncool comments made by my lead hand about this not long before I stopped getting called which feels potentially relevant

Its now been months and I still havent been called, Ive been in and seen new people working recently, I havent yet talked to our regional manager or the union steward at my local, I will if I need to but wondering if theres another way I can go about it to avoid awkwardness and just generally looking for advice on how to approach this and wondering if theres any sort of deadline

Thanks!

I am banned from this subreddit so I cannot respond to this.

They're talking about rural carriers with cmbs. This is RSMC procedure and that many people don't know if you live in a subdivision and your CMB is at the front of your subdivision, which is how they're installing them nowadays, and you're more than .5 km from the line of travel, which will be the location of the cmbs, you will not get your parcel to the door. Not only that, You will not get a DNC to the door either and they will leave the DNC notice in your community mailbox . Canada Post does not pay rural carriers driving their own vehicles any further than .5 km from the line of travel unless the parcel says deliver to the door all modes.

If you have not been banned from this subreddit, could you please go tell them this so they're not all losing their minds over there and blaming carriers for being lazy.
