FED EX.......WTF

As a fellow Canadian, I feel your pain.

Out of desperation, I have started using Canada post and USPS.

Guess what?

I'm finding it cheaper, more reliable but, not quite as fast as when the Courier companies get it right.

However, I am getting used to the longer delivery times , usually a couple of days in the difference.

I actually had Cas at Dr. Diff send me a Suregrip differential and a set of 3:55 gears via USPS.

Got it in 8 days!! And I'm in Newfoundland so much longer ways to go.

The trouble I found with Canada Post was the customs duty road apples applied to enrich rectums like the left dishonourable prime peckerhead of Canada, daesh dustbin turdo. Had to pay at the PO or it would be sent back.
I have had parts from Summit sent to a local agent for FedEx and jist had to sign for it.
The bug up my *** as another Canadian is the exchange rate. With the way tirdo keeps splashing money around, it is inevitable that eventually our dollar will fall into the outhouse basement and the exchange rate will head for the moon!
When I worked doing insyrumentation for oil companies mmany suppliers used DHL. I can not remember how many shipments disappeared or got misplaced. To meet a staryup date the oil company does not care why, but you are standing there telling them you can not finish because the part you ordered did not show up. I had to reorder a number of times and then the original order would show up a couple of days after the second was received. Sometimes the expected delivery got shipped to a competitor company who tossed it in their stock and said thank you quietly under their breath. Many of these shipments were valued at $2,000.
One of the other guys was expecting a delivery by Greydog. Eventually found pushed off to the side in Mexico City. It had been there for 2 weeks and they did not know what to do with it. Had to be told to put it on a bus and send to the correct bus depot.
