Poor service from Iqaluit post office

I am tired of poor service from the Iqaluit post office.

I have recently been waiting for a parcel. I expected it on a certain date and three weeks later it finally shows up in my box. Granted my post office box number was not on the parcel, but my name, house number, and phone number were.

Their excuse was that they could not find where it was supposed to go, as the correct address was not listed on it. So basically, they don’t have enough sense to find me through all the other information that was listed on the parcel.

These days there are a lot of businesses that won’t ship to a box number. They want an actual address location in order to ship. That puts me in a situation that I have to give my address in a format that the post office cannot understand.

I think it is time that Canada Post require more than high school education when hiring their staff, as the current staff cannot come to their own conclusions when trying to find a resident of Iqaluit. I know that Iqaluit has grown in the last few years but a bunch of monkeys could figure out where to put a lot of this mail.
