Story of my life
This year, I made a solemn resolution: I would not buy anything online from 15 November until early January. Christmas is bad enough without having to deal with Canada Post, which seems to regard the holiday season as the annual opportunity to delay, damage, or lose people’s packages.
Mind you, Christmas has very little to do with my misfortunes. For some reason, I seem to be a year-round victim of all three of these postal crimes. If there is a package to be delayed, damaged, or lost, chances are it has my name and address on it.
But I have actually kept my resolution. My last online purchase was on 1 November, well before my self-imposed 15 November deadline. I was rather pleased with myself for having outsmarted the postal gods this year.
But here we go again . . .
