Well, we’re not supposed to do that ever. It’s hard not to in the summer time, as it makes it much easier and faster… but in the winter, well, we pretty much have to do the whole process the way it’s supposed to be done. Or, simply let the carrier know that you don’t want them on the lawn. If...

So, you’re in an area that’s set up as “Park and Loop.” Posties drive to a location, get out of the van, do a loops which brings them back to the van. Repeat 1-2 more times. Go deliver parcels using van. Move to next location in the van. Most depots don’t have the parking space available for...

Yes. They were being lazy. Signature items are a freaking bane of existence for foot routes. I regularly have 10-15 a day. if someone’s not home, we stick the card to your door and have to carry it with us for the rest of the day…. In general, I have a 20% delivery rate (on the absolute best...

My depot starts at 9am, with 2 routes starting at 8:30am. You are expected to be done, back at the depot, junk mail collated for the next day and out the door by 5pm. That rarely happens. We have foot walks that have 600+ houses, and house/residential routes with almost 1000 points of call...

Incorrect. Completely in left field about the junk mail. Maybe it used to be that way, but no longer. it’s called “Consumer Choice”. If you put the note into your mailbox, the postie is supposed to open and app on their Data Terminal, type in the address and check the “NEIGHBOURHOOD mail” box...

You are 100% correct on these counts. My depot was recently restructured (again). They are now interviewing posties every single day wondering why they are doing overtime every single day. Personal integrity, sure. But the expectations put on us now are nigh impossible. They want you to take...

So true. The only ones people tend to look at are the Canadian Tire flyers and some food discount coupons.. maybe the front page of a grocery store flyer. But, it accounts for 30% of Canada Post income. They charge $0.18 for a simple, regular flyer, For bigger ones it’s around $0.25 or so. And...

Well, I’m sure there are some near your house. Same thing. Put a blue box out beside one and come collecting once a week. You’ll get more than you will know what to do with.

It’s OK bud… you can call it Junk Mail… ‘cause everyone knows that’s what it really is…

If you get your mail from a Community Mail Box, I have a super easy solution for your request for more junk mail.... Put a recycling box beside the mail box. People will fill it in no time at all. Just make sure you collect it the night before recycling pick up. It will be a god-send to your...

Apparently it’s too much effort to do that. Many people just put the flyers in the outgoing mail slot. Thgat’s a GIGANTIC pain in my ass. Have to separate all the junk from real mail. If I miss something, it’s going to get recycled with the flyers. So for any of you who this, please stop. You...

Apparently the ship carrying all the extra stuff for the pits and spare parts etc hasn’t arrived as of yet. Definitely going to throw a wrench into things.

That’s a relay bag you’ve got, not a letter carrier bag. We prep our mail and stuff it into the relay bags, which get delivered to roadside boxes on our route. Most people think that when we leave the depot, we have all our mail for the entire day in our bags. Sadly, that’s not that case. We...

See about going by a Canada Post distribution centre. You *MAY* be able to con your way into an old set of mail bags for free. Sure, they won't be too pretty. any more, but they're designed specifically for ergonomics. The majority of the weight is supported by the waist band. The shoulder...

I told you it was awesome! It’s an amazingly unique twist on the whole heaven/hell thing that took a genius level of idea consolidation to achieve…. Well beyond my pay grade, and I‘m a bit of a creative myself!

For anyone going down this year, it's slated to be repaved starting sometime in March/May and hopefully be done before the end of June. Apparently they will close down one direction at a time in the area they're working on. So it won't be impassible, just really annoying, especially if you get...

Welcome to the 2024 MotoGP discussion thread! Please don’t post up race results for at least 24 hours after the races are complete. For starts, the Argentinian GP has been cancelled. "Due to the current circumstances in Argentina, the Promoter of the event has communicated that it is currently...

Watched to episode 4 of Hazbin Hotel. Wow… just wow…. somebody else watch this and let me know your thoughts please!!!! p.s. viewable on Amazon or by torrent download.

Give it a whirl... It's a really well done concept - and it's not all musical through and through... maybe 1 song per episode, and the lyrics tend to be extremely dark.

Hazbin Hotel. I can’t say I’ve ever seen anything like it. It’s a cartoon. And adult cartoon… that’s a musical… Premise is - Satan’s daughter opens a hotel to help convert sinners / demons and help them gain access to heaven. Thing is, every year, angels descend into hell and slaughter the...
