I recently found myself in this post office in order to get my student loan sent away. I had my government ID and my social insurance number but not the SIN card itself (I keep that at my parent's home so I don't lose it). Not only did the lady who was "helping" me say that she "couldn't even touch" my loan application let alone send it, but then informed me that it wasn't safe for me to leave my SIN card with my folks. Call me old fashioned, but aren't public service workers supposed to help me rather than inconvenience me further? If you aren't having a great day, visiting this Canada Post location will do nothing to put a smile on your face. Service takes forever, there is only ever one counter open at a time so expect a lengthy wait. Hot Hint: If you are spending a lot of time in line, you could check out the passport applications they keep here, and kill some time renewing your travel papers.

I have a very poor review of the experience I have had with Canada Post, especially the Halifax NS…read moredepot. I had a parcel being shipped from Ont. and I was given a tracking number and a date of arrival. From the date the parcel was picked up in Ont. to the time it arrived in Moncton NB and put on a truck to Halifax NS was 3 days, not bad. It left Moncton on a Wednesday evening and didn't arrive in Halifax until Friday morning (a 2.5hr drive) and once it got processed in Halifax and put on a truck to be delivered to my local post office (.5hrs away) it took 3 days. Completely unsatisfactory.

If I had written this a few months ago I would have given this location a mere 2 stars. But some…read moretime has passed and 3 seems appropriate. Here's why: Pretty much all Canadian Posts location suck the very soul I walk in with every time I need to mail something. I'm not sure what the criteria is to work at the C.P. but there must be a "must be able to work at the snails pace at all times" requirement. That being said, speed of service is not why I'm opting for 3 stars. I know now when I need to do business with C.P.; allow at least an extra 30 minutes. This location is getting 3 stars because while it is slow in service they are kind in customer service. Always friendly and a few of them know my face well enough to strike up a conversation about the weather, or my latest package being sent back to the states. Convenience of location makes it that much more 3 star-able in my yelp book. And hey if it's extra slow there at least I have time to check my Yelp mobile app (shoot that should make it 4 stars right there...no. No it shouldn't)

Oh, this secret little Canada Post branch was a Christmas miracle indeed!…read more Tucked away in one of the many stripmall-looking complexes of the vast plains of Burnside Industrial Park (about as easy to navigate as the warehouse in which the ark of the covenant was lost at the end of Indiana Jones), the adventurous among us may just find this little gem of national mail magic. Unknown to the wider public of late-package-senders and complicated-question-askers, this teeny tiny outpost had no lines and still friendly staff midway through the holiday rush. I could hardly believe it! The wonderful man behind the counter commiserated in my rushing through the supposedly cheery hustle and bustle of the Christmas season, found a cheaper way to send what needed to be sent without compromising on the delivery date, and even offered to better package it with some extra packing paper and tape that he had on hand. And get this: he offered to do so for free, simply out of the good of his own heart. SERIOUSLY, YOU GUYS. This place is magic. Don't tell your friends...

That was just as true when I met her in person a few months later, after our move. Since then Beulah, Nancy and all the post office staff have been an important part of our lives, because living in the town of Lunenburg we don't actually have door-to-door delivery! Every week day I go to the Post Office, check my P.O. box and meet my neighbours and friends there. It's a ritual of our small town life. The Post Office loses the fifth star because of Canada Post itself -- it's expensive and often frustrating, especially for parcels. But the staff are great, overall, and there's a good selection of post cards, commemorative stamps and coins and packing materials.

Rural delivery in rural Nova Scotia is appalling at the best of times. As someone who generally has…read moreat least one package every month coming in and another going out, I have considerable experience with sending and receiving hundreds of packages by mail, locally, provincially, across the country and around the world. ATS received goods delivered from IKEA on/about Sept. 16th and 18th, sent from FedEx, as a sub-contract job. From the 16th to the 25th--when another company delivered the goods--ATS was incompetent, non-communicative, and quite unapologetic for their inability--actually, refusal--to deliver the parcels I was intended to receive. There were initially 15 parcels; at some point, an ATS employee dumped 5 of them at the local post office. Thankfully I got those parcels. It took 9 more days to track down and get another delivery service to go to ATS, pick up the parcels they simply were not delivering---for no reason; in fact, they sent confirmation of delivery to FedEx that they had delivered the goods. Although I kept phoning and telling them to deliver the parcels whenever they wanted to--at least 5 times in one week--they refused to correspond with me, and refused to deliver the parcels. This is also not the first time I've dealt with the incompetent idiots who work that ATS terminal in Dartmouth. They have always made me wait at least a week before delivering whatever I have ordered. In the end, TDR made the delivery. They seemed to have no problem doing so. ATS really deserves zero stars. They were unresponsive, indifferent, and in the end, malicious, in simply refusing to deliver the goods they were paid to deliver. I reported their incompetence to FedEx, and have been told they will not be paid. That's the only way to get better service; don't waste time talking to the local yokels at the local delivery location; contact the national/international carrier, and put your complaint in writing. Document every call, exchange, etc., to prove your case. Then whenever you order something, refuse to use the inter/national carrier if they use local delivery systems. That's what I do now. All my materials now come through Canada Post, or I do not order it. Put these private carriers out of business. This example of ATS is only one of many many many nightmares that I have experienced using private systems. Use Canada Post--even if you have to pick up your parcels, it's better than the run around these guys give you.
