Penguin Pickup is the worst for quality of basic service and even for shipping. In 2021 I was refused service due to two fearful young men behind the plexiglass and behind the counter. They were wearing masks and were behind the plexiglass and still refused to give me my package (which would have taken seconds). Instead, they argued with me about my mask exemption, forced me to stand outside, then came to the door and threw my envelope (containing a $2400 item) out to me. Makes no sense right? They came out from behind the plexiglass!
In September at another location, I tried to ship an overnight envelope to the USA. I wrote out the address with unit # but the person did not enter the unit #. Halfway home I glanced at the print out and saw that and called them. They said I had to go back to the location, so back I went and she didn't believe that she'd made a mistake. She had to check the form I'd filled out to confirm.
Today my husband attempted to pick up a package for me, they couldn't find my name in the system. The notice from Canada Post says you just show ID with the address. The young woman behind the desk was also rude.
Who pays for all the wasted gas I've used going back and forth? Penguin Pickup should but they don't. I've asked for nothing else to go there and have arranged to get a Fedex account so I can request pickups on my account not the shipper's if they use Canada Post. read more
