I find it absolutely adorable when people who have never experienced Purolator - they claim to be a package company - complain about any package shipping issue.

You want invisible buildings? Purolator can't see 35-storey buildings rising high above a sea of bungalows next to a massive landmark.
You want customized delivery? If your building has a blue box system FUCK YOU they're gonna need a signature today and you're gonna have to beat them to the truck to give it.
you want careful handling? I think they use packages as ramps to get out of the snow or over speed bumps
you want friendly service? They're just pissed you burst out of the bushes to beat them back to the truck
safe pick-up of the package they can't seem to deliver? Get out near the airport where it'll probably be out in the ditch, but be there during the convenient hours of 2 and 4, week-days, and you can fight the thieves for your stuff.

i just don't know what keeps these guys in business.

I seriously did not realize Purolator was still around. My dad worked for them 40 odd years ago, and quit on the spot, with kids and a wife at home, because of how awful they were (called and checked with my mom first, who was supportive).

They still operate in Canada.
