Is it me, or is this showing up on pretty much every other US item I'm seeing listed these days?
It's starting to become a real problem for me when hitting auctions and listings on the bay now, as it's a major inconvenience to have to deal with accepting/picking up an item shipped through this service. The final delivery is always handed off to some third party courier instead of the state postal service. In my case, for Southern Ontario, this seems to be Canpar. This service has the most irritating habit of attempting to deliver items when I'm not at home... because like a normal person, I work during the day. Since I live in an apartment, and no one is there, I'm forced to pick items up at the terminal.
If these items were handed off to the state postal service, I'd be able to grab them next day from the post office which is literally five minutes away. Is this service as bad for others as it is for me?
It's becoming enough of a problem that I'm actually requesting sellers ship via USPS or I will not make a purchase. It might actually be worth it to spend a little extra in some cases just so I can avoid having to deal with the bullshit GSP has forced on me.
Anyone else in Canada or international buyers have a beef with the GSP?
