Post Office Parcels and Use of PO Boxes

First off Zola and I would like to thank all of you who have been so supportive of us in the running of the PO.  It has been much appreciated. It helps us enjoy our job.  I have only been at it for 3 months and Zola for about a month.  There is much more to learn but we are getting there.

Parcels
The tags we use for the parcels are what Canada post has given us.  They are light.  When you pull them out of the box you can lose them.  I have picked up a number on the ground at the PO boxes.  Please pay attention when you collect your mail to ensure you do not lose these tags.  We had a situation where someone came in and saw their parcel but had no tag.  A few minutes later someone else came in and said they found the tag on the ground.  Makes life a lot easier when you have the tag.  Remember parcel post can be from 3 days to 6 weeks before it arrives.  Regular mail the same.  If you do not know what you have ordered but you THINK you may have one, we will THINK it has not arrived.

Multi-use PO boxes
If you are one of many using the same PO box and do not want other addressee's picking up your mail then please let us know.  If you do not want others to pick up your mail, then we will put you in General Delivery and you can pick up your mail directly.  Otherwise whoever has that box for an address can pick up all of the mail unless we are advised otherwise.

Again thanks for all of the support and conversations.

Fred and Zola
