The Editor:
I am questioning the service of Canada Post in Estevan.
It was on Tuesday, March 29 when the Sask. Party delivered 13 boxes to the Estevan post office for distribution (which I helped in delivering).
We were told by Canada Post staff they would be dispatched the following day.
Prior to the delivery we had to make four or five trips before Canada Post would accept them due to their regulations which seem to constantly change.
To our amazement we found that many of the boxes of election material were not delivered until the morning of election day - April 4.
Why does it take five days (excluding the weekend) to deliver local mail?
It must be a problem of having too many coffee breaks? Or some hanky-panky with the postal union?
The postal service has deteriorated badly.
It cost us $900 for these flyers to be delivered. The task was not completed. Therefore, we are asking for a full refund.
