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!

8:15 starter here and we wait nearly 45 minutes everyday for our late flight to be sorted and then waiting for AO’s to be placed out for all of wave 1 and wave 2…. Every day we deal with sitting around for nearly an hour

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.

Can someone explain what the significance of 7 year anniversary is? TIA.

There is currently a zone-wide bid for FT PO4s in Metro (Toronto) West Collection & Delivery. Is anybody aware of what depots might be moving in the near future? It is rumoured (but not confirmed) that the stations at 340 Matheson will be moving to Gateway/WPDH. Any other depots on the chopping block? Downsview North, maybe? The bid sheet is also unclear about which operations will be located in the "New Finch Building" at 1145 Finch Ave West.

Can anybody in this forum offer any insight? Thanks!

I injured myself on the job and few weeks ago and I received these forms in the mail but my union guy is on vacation. Does anyone have any experience filling them out? I don’t want to sue anyone.

Does anyone know if there is any move on accepting parcels to Germany again?

I honestly don't understand the issue.

If they charge 3 extra Euros, let me pay it and call it a day.

Why is this so difficult? And why is it only certain EU country and not all of them?

Hello everyone,

I have worked in kitchen/hospitality for quite a while, and for the last year or two have been really feeling the burnout. A friend of mine recently joined Canada Post, as a part-time, on call, carrier. He mentioned there is another posting for the same position.

From what I understand the hours can be quite poor for a while until you are full time/have some seniority, but by plan was to continue to work at the restaurant during nights for the first while, until I potentially get hired full time. I also know the work can be quite hard, but I am used to being on my feet for long hours, and am fairly athletic (played football in university, and Jiu Jitsu now).

Would this be a feasible plan? Is this a viable career to get into for my 30s and beyond?

Any advice would be appreciated!

It says it was supposed to be delivered today but still says this. I just wanna know when theyre gonna change the date of delivery for my item.

I understand Canada Post is running on a tight budget, but seriously, how are we being issued rain gear that can’t even keep us dry? We’re outside walking for hours in all kinds of weather, and the bare minimum should be equipment that actually does its job. I seem to remember that they used to provide Gore-Tex jackets, but stopped doing that at some point. I’m not asking for luxury clothing here, just something that keeps the rain out. It’s pretty ridiculous that a company relying on employees to work outdoors year round can’t provide proper waterproof gear. Anyone else fed up with the quality of our uniforms?

Just wondering how the dress code works for RSMCs.

Can we wear our own baseball caps, shirts, hoodies, jackets, etc., or do we have to wear official Canada Post clothing?

How strict is it in practice? And how does getting uniforms work?

Thanks!

Heard from the neighbours that there are some porch pirates in the area.

If I get a container by my door, would postal workers put my packages inside it if I leave a sign or delivery instructions?

If I locked the container and had the combo in the delivery instructions, would they unlock the lock to deliver the package or is that asking too much?

I know I can set my delivery preference for the post office but just wondering if either of those options are easier for folks.

Not sure what to do next. I have been trying to get the mail carrier position temp since last year and now when I finally got an interview they sent me a rejection email today saying they could not consider me further. I feel so dejected. Should I even try again? What could be the reason they did not hire me -after my interview? I have experience working at Amazon so I am not sure what else they need. They still have that job posted online with the deadline now extended. I even know another mail carrier that works at that location and he even let his supervisor know that he recommends me (at least thats what I think). I am so lost. Should I call them and ask why I wasnt selected?

I had the interview close to a week and a half ago and on saturday I received an email that said because I had not replied to the interview timing email they could not proceed with my application. However, I had taken my interview and the HR lady knows it. However, I think they must have sent the interview invite on my other email that i may have used in the past for applying for this position. Does this mean they are not considering me for this job anymore and they have found their person? Should I call them and ask?

Hi everybody! I just dropped a letter in the Canada Post Mailbox. The letter is to be sent to the US. I forgot to add a stamp on it. Will it be sent back to me? Will it be sent back on the day it’s picked up from the mailbox or will it take a few weeks to get back to me? Please give some advice! Thank you!

Since I can't post about it in the official subreddit. I've been trying to ship a collection of non-perishable goodies to a friend of mine down in the states. Some boxes of Kraft Dinner, two bags of chips, a coffee crisp, and a box of smarties candies. Zonos has been holding me up at every step of the way insisting that it's manufactured in the states and that the address I'm actually trying to use to send is wrong. If anybody has any advice or help it'd be much appreciated.

Also why can't I post in the official CanadaPost Subreddit whenever I type "zonos" in? What's wrong with it?

Theres one on the regular boxes, wondering if it applies to flat rate since its flat rate.

Is there a place in the Employee Portal to download a map of your walking/mobile route?

From what I’ve read on here an RSMC OCRE can qualify for EI. I think I’ll hit the required hours sometime in December but is there a way to see how exactly how many hours I’ve worked short of estimating the hours for each route I’ve done? I can’t see anything on MySap about hours worked.

Most full routes I’ve worked are based on 8 hours but I’ve also done a lot of delivery only routes. Was also wondering if training was counted as hours.

I forgot a personal item at a family members house while visiting from the US. Even after selecting return and putting in the HS code 98040045, zonos is still charging a duty for the shipment.

Should I declare it as a gift because its value is below the gift exemption limit. Is this risky? the item is below the gift limit in value but very rare, originally imported from outside the US (not sure the country) and one of a kind.

If anyone else finds it frustrating trying to scroll through the monthly bid using the new online portal, I just realized that there is a way to access the full list: while logged in to "My CUPW Bids", look for two icons that say "Bid Sheet" and "Entry Summary". Click on Entry Summary. You should see a list of actions, one of which says "Bid Posting Created"; on that same line, there should be a link for "Attachments". Click on that, and it will open a new tab with the full list of positions, in a nicely formatted table that can be printed or saved as a PDF. (It took a minute for the document to display in the new tab, but it did show up eventually.)

My class/location has 210 positions currently open (zone-wide restructure), so I am greatly relieved to not have to try to scroll through the very narrow window of the normal bid portal. Perhaps everyone knew about this already, but if you didn't, I hope you find it helpful.

I have received the pre-screening email and I emailed them back.

When should I expect an update from the recruitment team, and will this involve an interview?
