    What do you mean “planning” to. They’ve refused to deliver packages for nearly a decade at this point. Oh sure, they’ll say they’ll deliver, but they never do, just a note telling you to go do their job for them. Literally the only delivery company that has this issue with my place.

      Complain to them. Seriously. Sometimes there’s a reason you’re not aware of, but if your carrier is being a lazy shit, complain.

        I have. CP’s response was the absolutely absurd “we do not require couriers to deliver packages provided to them for delivery.” My flabbers were legitimately ghasted at that response, and is when I completely gave up on them ever becoming a legitimate or remotely reliable delivery service.

        Honestly, to this very day, I still struggle to wrap my head around the idea of a business that, as a matter of policy, do not require their employees to do the work they hired them to do.

        I do avoid them as much as possible, including paying extra to use alternative shipping. Sometimes there is no other option if a vendor will only ship with CP. Even then, I’ll typically try to find a different vendor for what I need.
