Canada Post

For a downtown post office, its fast and efficient, and surprisingly the staff here are very friendly and helpful. Avoid peak times (between 1130am and 1pm though) as the line-​ups are large.

this review is not for this particular CP location — the staff and service here are rather good — 4 stars — but rather for the entire corp in general — (I could not find the HQ location on Unilocal)
What’s happened to CP? They used to have relatively quick service. They ve gone completely downhill. 2 recent examples: a registered letter from Toronto downtown to Ottawa downtown: has taken over 5 business days to be delivered (over 1 week) and still not delivered. A small package from downtown Toronto to downtown Vancouver sent by regular mail is expected to take over 2 weeks to be delivered? Come on people… this is not brain surgery and it is not delivery between rural areas. Why can other developed countries like the U S and UK do these same deliveries in a couple of days? Pathetic… what a sorry excuse for a national postal system… are you using dog sleds to deliver this mail? Just like 130 years ago? What a joke.

Quick, easy, and convenient. I was in and out in probably less than 2 min. They have lots of greeting cards and shipping packages of all different sizes.

There’s rarely a line here and the staff have always been great. They’re quick and know what they’re doing so you’ll be in and out in a flash.

Although it took me two tries before I actually got to send out my mail. The first time i went at prime time lunch hour and there were probably 10 people waiting in line so i opted not to wait.
The second time the post office was empty. the lady was super nice when I got to the counter. She waited patiently as I sorted out all 30 of my letters being mailed to the us, rest of Canada and internationally.
She gave me all the stamps and even took the time to help me put them on. Probably because there was no one in line before more… She even struck a conversation with me making time go by quickly as I continued sticking the stamps on.
The only down side to this experience was the huge postage bill. It’s amazing how much stamps have gone up in the last few years. Maybe I don’t snail mail much anymore so it seems like such a huge spike. Oh well… You can’t do anything about it.
If I had to choose I would probably come here to post my mail, but if there was a reason to have to do some grocery shopping and necessities, I would walk to the shoppers drug mart at king and Peter where there is a post office inside also.

One of the nicest free-​standing, government-​owned (not authorized outlet) locations in the downtown area. Location has modern, retail look and offers a great selection of stamp and coin related gifts, in addition to postage and shipping services.
