Anyone else having issues with their mail not being picked up from the box? Mailed three bills to three separate destinations on March 19 and not one of them made it to their destination? Then the following week mailed another letter and it too did not make it to it's destination. All were dropped into the box outside Sobey's West End Store. Have called the Post Office but have not heard back yet.

Strange patterns of mail over the last couple of years - since our mail started getting sent to Winnipeg to be sorted.  
 
I mail regularly to Edmonton, Calgary, Toronto, Winnipeg and Regina.  
 
Edmonton is hit or miss - one time it takes three weeks to get there, the next time it is two days. Same thing with Winnipeg or local mail - it seems to take far longer to get down the street or to Winnipeg (where it is sorted) than it takes to get to Vancouver.  
 
Either way, I too, have noticed very inconsistent mail patterns.

Not sure about sending out mail, but our problem is getting it delivered to house. I've received numerous neighbors mail instead of my own in my mailbox. And In the last 4 months I have personally delivered 5 pieces of mail to houses a block or two away from ours, as our mailman tries to carry too much at once and ends up dropping it everywhere. He never notices it when he drops it either. So I or my teens go pick it up and deliver it. Some have been govt mail, insurance company, etc, that seem to be important mail. Scares me to think how much of my mail I've never received if it was dropped at a different location on his route.

I've noticed that in the past few months, our mail is not being delivered to our community mail box. I just received an Autopac letter in late March that was mailed out in mid February. I haven't received mail from other places as they have called to see if I did.  
 
Weird!!

We are also having LOTS of problems with in going-outgoing mail at our community box! We will go days with out a thing, not even a flyer, and then BOOM , check it one day and there will be all this mail, and junk mail! We have had to get a few things re-sent to us b/c we haven't received it. Very frustrated!

What I'm saying is my mail doesn't get mailed period! A few years back a women who had the job of picking up the mail was actually stealing it and hiding it under her bed. She was keeping the envelopes with cash and the rest never went anywhere! Could this be happening again? The 3 places I sent my bill payments to have still not received them! That was 5 weeks ago! Checked with my bank and nothing has gone through there. So my question is where it?

In the last year my wife has mailed 2 cards to the same address in Transcona and neither one ever made it there.. Correct address so can't understand 2 cards not making it.

Mailed letter to friend in Wpg (near Jefferson) from rural West-Man on March 29 & del'd April 22!  
Where was it all this time?

I wasn't going to start a post about it, but now that you mention it... a while ago, a letter was sent to me by my employer, but I didn't receive it on time and it cost me a job.  
The latest was just this last week when I realized I had not been receiving my credit card bills. After calling them I found out they had been returned to sender!

I order a dvd though walmart online just before Christmas and it never came. I assumed it was lost with Christmas rush. There was no tracking number. I pre-ordered the new star wars movie and almost a month later it still isn't here either. Really starting to wonder if there is someone stealing the mail or not delivering it.

That I recently had issues with some mail coming from the US as well - I was waiting on a cheque from North Carolina. After six weeks they sent another cheque out because I still had not received the first. Another three weeks later I still had not received either so they ultimately credited a credit card instead.  
 
About a month after that both cheques were returned to NC, postmarked by Canada Post as undeliverable.  
 
Made no sense as they were sent to my home address, where I have lived for 14 years, and this same company sends me at least a dozen pieces of mail a year with never an issue.  
 
There is definitely SOMETHING going on with Canada Post, but who would you even call to raise a concern?

And what did Canada Post say when you reported this to them?

To open an investigation - which could take six to eight weeks.  
 
I told them not to bother, noting my disgust with the process as I had already received my money through other means. I was fairly unimpressed at that point and mentioned that I would think twice about using CP for my special business mailings in the future, but the agent was un-apologetic and did not seem to care to ensure my concern over the issue got to someone who would look in to it to ensure something like that might not happen again.  
 
But really, what could they do? I did not pay for the mailings, so they could not refund money. They had already been returned to the original mailer, so they would not need to find them.  
 
All it would have done at that point was cost taxpayer more money to investigate.
