Monday, March 17 Delivery of Dinnerware set. * ** ***** ** ***** *** ***** ** **** ********* The delivery person threw the boxes of glass dishes on to my cement porch. There were two large boxes. The second box was thrown on top of the first one. It did not land well and tumbled backwards down my cement steps. The delivery person picked it up and threw it back on top. First of all, canpar sent me a form to sign to stick to the front door, in order to authorize them to leave the delivery at the door/no signature required. I did not fill that out and was waiting at home. They did not knock or ring the doorbell, so the form was irrelevant. They also* ** * ****** ** ***** ************* damaged all of the items. When contacted, they told me to go to ***** *****. ***** ***** *** *** ********* ** * ** ** ******** ** ******* *** ** **** ********* ** *** ** *** ****** ****** ******** **** * ********* ***** ***** ***** **** ****** ** ***** I shared the video directly with Canpar on social media and the response I received was a casual “sorry for your inconvenience, we’ll pass this on to the delivery person’s manager” and no attempt to rectify. I want a refund or an exchange from ***** ***** and Canpar should be the one returning to pick these packages up with a better apology than sorry for the inconvenience.Initial Complaint

Purchases a pair of studded tires from ******* ******** ******* online store. Package was received by Canpar on December 12th. Package arrived at ******* ** on December 17th, got delayed due to weather, and then scanned as departed via ******** on the same day. ****** is 2 hrs away from my location, delivery date was December 18. It has been 3 days since it departed and yet no package has arrived. Live chat isn't functional as it just refreshes the page and never goes to an agent. I attempted to call them five times, 4 times it says line busy. 5th time I was on hold for over an hour, music cut out, attempted to get attention of agent and was hung up on. As of now, I'm currently on hold for 57 minutes with my sixth call. I just want to know what happened to my package.Initial Complaint

I have not received my package and no information is available about expected delivery using tracking number. It was last located less than an hour from my home but that was a week ago and does not show any attempted delivery or plan for delivery. Cannot reach the company by phone (on hold for hours) and live chat on website does not work.Initial Complaint

Canpar was hired to delivery a $120 order to my customer. The item was picked up on Aguust 27th, and after accepting the delivery we were advised that they don't deliver to this location. They dropped the parcel almost one hour away to another location for the customer to pickup. This was not acceptable and the customer could not pick it up from this location. After trying endless times to get Canpar to pick up the parcel and somehow send it to the customer - it sat at the pick up depot. I was told I had no choice but to send the parcel back to me (the shipper) and re-send it to them. Another two weeks go by and I still dont have the parcel. Canpar needs to return my parcel to me as they won't deliver it to the customer. They also need to accept responsibility for getting this right and not leaving me to my own to try and manage this. They were paid to do a service and I have lost a customer and sale as a result of their actions. It is a month now and the parcel is sitting in some convenience store awaiting piickup - that won't happen. **** ** ********Initial Complaint

I ordered an item online that was shipped through Canpar with shipping costing $100. I was not home to accept the delivery and now they are telling me I need to go pick up the item from their warehouse which is not near where I live or I have to pay more money to have another delivery attempt made. **** ****** **** ******* **** **** * ***** ******** ****. They only deliver during most peoples working hours with no option for a redelivery. It is unacceptable.Initial Complaint

I received the ******** "Sorry we missed you" notice on my door on March 7. It had the "make another attempt" dates crossed out. As per the instructions, I signed up online to be notified when the shipment would be available for pickup. I also attempted to use the other delivery options online, but none were available. I checked tracking the next day and saw that another attempt was made to deliver. This failed despite someone being home at the time and not hearing anyone at the door. I would have pre signed for signature if that option was available on the notice. I continued to track the shipment and check my emails for a notification or any other information about to where or when my package would be available for pickup. I did not receive any notification and the tracking showed that the package "arrived at hub/terminal from bulk/city trailer" which does not provide any information about where to pickup the package or state that it's ready for pickup. After a week, on March 18, I called the customer service number to get more information. The representative told me I could pickup the package from Surrey, provided the address, and informed me that it would be held until March 22. On March 19, I drove to the Surrey location where I was told that the package had been returned to sender the night before. Throughout the whole process, I had no opportunity to receive the package and received no accurate information about how I could pick it up. I've ******** the "Sorry we missed you" notice for your reference. After the package was received by the vendor, I had to pay to have it shipped back to me a second time.Business Response

Ordered a product a few weeks ago, seemed to be taking a bit too long to deliver. Received an email from CANPAR yesterday that a delivery attempt was made and that the driver tried to call the day before at 9:33. In the email, it mentions the first and second delivery attempt were free, no notice was left anywhere. Tracking # in the email has no tracking results. CANPAR is asking for my credit card information to reschedule a delivery. * ***** **** **** * *** ***** ***** ******** ******** ******* ** ****** **** *************Business Response

Good Morning, Please note this is a scam email you have received. Canpar will never email clients asking them to pay for 2nd attempt. We have reported this email scam to our IT security department.Initial Complaint

While I filed the missing packages claims to Canpar, I'd also like to make complaints for 1) ********** ***** ******** ******** ***** ****** ****** ** ** ******* *** I've spent hours on the phone + website chat and 2) for losing the shipment while falsely claiming it has been delivered.Business Response
