As I mentioned previously, the service in the United States is a little quicker. I am not talking about express service, because we have that both in Canada and the United States. I am talking about a normal delivery service from New York to California in two or three days. In Canada, to deliver a parcel from Montreal to British Columbia, you need four to six days. Clearly, it would be good to improve delivery times a little.
A much quicker delivery service will be needed in the future. Amazon is becoming more and more popular because it has warehouses located all over the country. Most of the time, that means that shipments can be delivered the next day. Companies that sell a lot online, like Staples, deliver every day with their own fleet of trucks.
It is important for Canada Post to realize that customers need better service than the one presently offered. No one is asking for same-day delivery from Montreal to Vancouver without paying extra, because that would be a special service. However, if the delivery time can be improved, why not emulate the United States and do it in Canada?
