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.

Purolator is a bastard company I always freak out when I realize my online order defaulted to Purolator from the shipper's end. I'd literally send more money so it can be anything else.

Not shilling for FedEx but FedEx has come to my house rang my doorbell and stood there for 1 min and I've never seen any other company do this.

USPS will do their damnedest to get you your package, and they're the cheapest option. US only of course.
