........or you can just call them and tell them to hold the package at your local hub or whatever, and that you will go there yourself and pick it up/sign for it. this way you save alot of time than waiting for the delivery guy.

 

I tired this, and they insisted that they MUST try at least 1 (might have been all 3) delivery attempt(s). Purolator also must attempt to deliver before it will show up at the pickup depot (the next day).
After arguing with both for a long time (multiple attempts) I only get items shipped by Canpost, at least I can pick it up after 5pm. Canpost also requires a delivery attempt.
The only solution Purolator offered me (UPS might as well have said **** off) is if I put the shipping address as their pickup depot address. That sure isn't happening.

 

Yea, I asked about a pickup place one time and they said that it couldn't be picked up. It's stupid. Purolater, not as bad, they usually just leave a slip so I can pick it up next day. But fedex has been the best to me, drop at my door & I get a bill in the mail later...sometimes.
