Current Courier Conditions

In light of the pending Canada Post strike, it is expected that service levels may extend past their normal time frames due to higher call volumes as a result of the strike.  At this time we cannot predict the length of the delay, however please note calls will be prioritized by the service levels requested (ex. Executives will take priority over Regulars).  Our website will be updated regularly as information regarding service delays becomes available. 

We are offering a Saturday service to assist with Canada Post strike volumes.  Please call Cory in our office for details.

While some may think that courier van is holding important documents, they are occasionally wrong. Millions of packages are transported every year throughout the county and every so often, something extremely odd ends up in one of those courier packages. Many couriers have reported items such as an elephant’s foot, spoiled food, prosthetics and even animal heads. Although most companies have forbidden materials, every so often, one of these items may end up in an unsuspecting courier’s vehicle. Some of the most unusual items reported by couriers are:

5.  Bees in a glass tube. Unfortunately, for this driver, the tube broke and a specialist had to be called in to sedate the bees with fog before removal. Luckily, he wasn’t allergic.

4.  Crickets. Escaping insects are not in a courier’s job description. Weeks later, this driver still heard those crickets living in his vehicle.

3.  A dead dog…..or one that was thought to be dead. Poor driver, the dog later “awoke” from his not so final rest. Luckily, the driver didn’t take his spot with a heart attack.

2.  A human skeleton that could not be laid flat. Mr. Bones had to hitch a ride in the front seat. This would have been perfect if it was sent during Halloween.

1.  Sheep (ram) testicles. As we know, they come in pairs. These were transported for later consumption and they most definitely do NOT taste like chicken.
