Anyone else in RURAL Canada noticing a BIG delay in shipping time? I am having TONS of customers complaining - shipping has been about 14 business days - used to be 7-10 with UPS :(

I've always had issues with Purolator for my rural customers. The problem is that it's not actually purolator in most cases - it's a contract person. In areas of Manitoba, they only deliver once a week, on Wednesdays, so if the order comes to him on Thursday, my customer has to wait 6 days before he tries to deliver. If she's not home, she has to wait until the next Wednesday. It's so dumb!!!

How funny but it is the opposite for me Jenna. UPS here is contracted out and it was taking 14-18 days for PC to arrive. Since orders have been shipped with Purolator it is only taking 10-14 days :)

Funny...Purolator is way faster than UPS for me and I live in rural Manitoba.

I'm still getting my UPS guy - I think it is because of the area I am in. And they are great - the day after it shows shipped online, it is in Concord (usually), and then I'll have it the next day - so usually 4 days total from when I've submitted my show...

I live in rural Ontario 3hrs nw of Toronto...

so it MUST depend on the individual contractor then. :(

OURS ARE SLOW SLOW SLOW! - and I have A LOT of upset Hosts, Customers, and Potential Recruits (I might have a few NOT sign because of it)

Call HO and let them know. They need to know when this kind of stuff is happening.

Ditto here. I'm 2 hours east of Toronto - very rural. I'm listening to the sheep and coyotes right now as I type but I still have my orders both shows and personal/supply arriving in about 4 days via UPS. Sorry to hear about all the others with problems though :(
