This week I watched my order pass through grading and heat seal to ‘ship to Canada’ as of yesterday. So I am a bit excited to hear my books are coming home. However, I am also terrified because I am on vacation and not returning for a few more business days. With the closure of the Canadian location I assume the books will be shipped directly to me. Are Canadians receiving any sort of ‘your books have shipped’ email (hopefully with a tracking number), or are the books just showing up? I am hoping in this case that ‘ship to Canada’ is actually a process that takes at least a few days. Seems strange actually wanting a delay at this point. |

No idea about current process....past process it could be ShiptoCanada for months. If its through FedEx you should get a call notification with approximate ship day...you can usually have a hold/delay put on if you wont be around |

If it is properly marked for no safe dropping (ie needs a signature) it shouldn't just be left at your door. However, if you get tracking information you can have the package diverted to a safe drop point. In my small city FedEx doesn't leave packages at the door (except for HelloFresh which are cleared for porch drops) they have a safe drop point and will leave it there and then leave notice that the package has been dropped there. Though I have had them do this without asking in most cases, especially if a signature is required, you need to request this option. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by OxbladderI would not trust Signature Required. We receive FedEx daily at work and most shipments require signature or name of recipient; lo and behold packages get left signed for by “covid” without knowledge they have even dropped off. Your best course of action would be to place a hold on your package or better yet reroute your package to a pick up location for safe keeping until you get back. When drivers are in a hurry no consideration is given. |

I was able to get a fedex driver to leave a signature required package by telling them through my doorbell cam app that I was out walking the dog and wouldn't be back for 10 minutes (which was all true). He was like...well I talked to someone at the house so I'll just leave it. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by HulkSmash Yeah it can definitely vary by region. In my region U P S blows and FedEx and Purolator are decent. It's always best to have the shipping information to make the proper alternative arrangements. If CBCS had a CS it would be easy to arrange. |
