Canada Post is full of ****

My response to a nice fellow I bought some injectors from down in LA.

Well what a time I had at the post office!

I've sent many money orders to the US . The last time maybe 2 months ago. They always screw you over on the exchange rate so this time I come with US dollars in hand. They don't take US dollars anymore. They oooosted to. Keep in mind these postal workers are two Chineese women.

She is ranting on and on how she can't exchange it cause she doesn't have enough in her till cause she just went to the bank. I tried to explain to her that I won't be taking any money out of her till cause I will be leaving the funds there to pay for the money order.

Took 10 minutes to explain that to her in chinglish with a steady line building behind me. I was cracking a few jokes while holding back my frustration. Folks behind me were starting to bust out laughing.

Finally she got the point, got the money order and an express envelope to send it in.

It's on it's way!!!!!

Tracking # is ***CA and you can follow it's journey at www.canadapost.ca

Should have it within a week.

Likely won't show in the system till tomorrow cause they are slow bastards. I'll be making a complaint at Canada Post tomorrow. Not for the two dumb Chineese postal workers but their stupid policy of not taking US funds anymore.

Hope you had an easier time sending the injectors.

Dude you said 'chinglish'.


I have never had a problem with them. I bought some seatbelts someone in the States and they wanted an extra five bucks as a fee for stuff, but I got them to do it for free. Since it was for a $15 cheque, that's a litttle wrong, eh?

Only problems I've ever had with Canada Post employees has been the dumbass losers that grew up in this country, had every chance offered to them but still ended up on workfare at the post office.

dude take it from someone who is in e-commerce

canadapost sucks ***

i spend about $500 at the post office a day.

3 days later i get at least 1-2 items back at my house missing the postage on them... it magically fell off....

tracking #s... they show nothing except confirmation of dropping them off at the post office, and delivery.

shipping times... my ***.... i send **** to the us expedited and it takes 1 month sometimes!

and money orders... o man... i did the same thing as you... i went to the bank, bought $2500US one day... i got to western union and they said they don't take US, so i had to sell it to them at 6 cents lower per dollar... that sucked ***....

so yeah i'm with ya....

on top of that canadapost just seized 3 of my shipments from china worth $2200! bastards :\

Don't speak the language? My Oriental friends got a kick out of this story. My Asian pronunciations to boot too. It has more to do with stupidity than a language barrier.

Nice try tho.

Oh BTW, the injectors arrived today. That's quick, he just sent them yesterday.

One of the tips got damaged tho. I think it is just used to protect the little needle thingy and doesn't serve much more of a purpose. These are *gasp* Ford racing injectors. I'll check out a few local shops to see if anyone has an old worn out injector in their toolbox. Mabe I can salvage the little plactic piece off an old one.

He has a point, it's at the top of his head. It's from his mother beating him over his thick skull with his keyboard for posting so late past his bead time.

Yeah, funny how 3rd gens and their owners really do get the "trailer trash ignorant ****** wearin hick" label. I guess when you can buy a 3rd gen for $500 it attracts scum.....................not to mention it's BIG BAD "V8"

Kind of ashamed I own one......................

I doubt very much you own one. I mentioned buying injectors and you are having some hussy fit mentioning stuff like a dual carb manifold. And you want to claim someone else is ignorant?

Then brings up spelling when your English and grammar is at a 5th grade level.

Oh yes the spelling flame, the last refuge of the terminally lame. And then another bunch of flaming bile that was worn out 10 years ago. Get a clue. You are not worth my time to belittle.

Then sell it. Not many "illiterate, toothless, trailer trash honkey hicks" have the coin for a TTA though.

Have you got a phone number for that $500 thirdgen?

Dude, he has the uber thirdgen. I wouldn't try working that angle. His problem may be with your silly little racial epithet. But what do I know. My car doesn't even run.

I think he spelled his name wrong. Should be MentalDwarf. That would explain a lot.

Wow your grammar and english is good enough for............the TRIAD buddy. There you can sell your 3 3rd gen lawn ornaments and upgrade your trailer to one with a skylight so you stop tripping over the lakeport cans all over the floor.
