Last weekend I bought a new t.v. I bought it online (with free delivery!) so that I would not have to deal with lugging it home. The anticipated date of delivery was this Thursday. It is coming via Canada Post. I have a tracking number.
This morning when I checked, the package had been processed in Mississauga last night. I was expecting to perhaps stay home tomorrow in anticipation of an early delivery. Just now, I checked Canada Post’s website again as I am a compulsive tracking checker. It says the item is in Montreal and “out for delivery”. Shit! I’m not home!
Why are they being so efficient? I hope that with an item as big as a t.v. (26” Samsung*) they will make more than one attempt at delivery before forcing me to go to the post office and get that sucker back home on my own steam.
The last thing I want to do is complain that Canada Post’s service is too fast, but well, yeah, I may have to complain. What a dumb turn of events.
(*Had an argument with Kumar about the price. Long story. Perhaps in another post.)

that darned canada post: service always TOO good
was it a good price? don't leave us hanging!
I paid $499 for a 26" Samsung, but it is only 768 resolution. Kumar said I could've gotten 1080 res. for the same price if I had bought it at the place he suggested. (which is in Toronto) He told me to return the t.v., I said no. He said he was "not happy" with my decision, but it was my money. I said "It's just a t.v."! So he whined: But it's not 1080.
Whatever!! Thank allah it is MY money and not OUR money because otherwise there'd be a jihad over this.
