This is the worst shipping company that I've ever dealt with. Their drivers simply don't care and won't honour the shipping times even when you pay extra to get an item shipped quickly.

I ordered an item from Amazon that I absolutely needed before the weekend so I chose 1 day shipping. On Friday I received a notice at 5:55 PM (five minutes before the end of the driver's work day) that my shipment was "Delay in delivery due to weather or natural disaster". The item was already on the truck and out for delivery so it wasn't the weather; the driver was just being lazy.

On Monday while returning from work I saw the Purolator truck parked across the street from my building. The driver wasn't present but I figured he'd buzz my apartment and deliver my package. Nope! I received an email from Amazon at 5:56 PM saying that delivery was attempted. I ran downstairs to find an "attempted delivery" notice on my door and the driver and truck nowhere in sight.

This isn't the first time stuff like this has happened. It happens with every order that Purolator delivers. It's gotten so bad that I will cancel orders from Amazon if I know that Purolator is handling the delivery. There's no point in ordering an item with one day shipping if Purolator is going to be so nonchalant about honouring their delivery guarantees.
