Okay so purolator came to my door last week when I was at school to drop off a package for me.
because my mum works nights, she was sleeping and didn't answer the door

they left a note in the door saying its at the shipping centre at Lake Ave N and I have til monday to pick it up. If it's not picked up by then, they send it back to the sender.

I have no way of getting there (I don't drive, and no one will drive me -__-) and even buses don't really go there. Im really busy with school/work as well, so I wont be making any 2.5 hr trips to get there and back to school/home or whatever. I definitely won't be going there anytime soon.

What will happen after that? Will the order be cancelled, etc
i can't find anything on their shitty ass website

Can't you just take the barton (or whatever)? Or is this some other mysterious lake avenue north I don't know about?

you can call them (and lie, if you must) and say that they didn't ring and you were actually home

i wouldn't do this often, the delivery men will hate you

just call them and ask to redeliver cause you can't make it there. and you can leave a note on your door saying please leave package in mailbox if you know you wont be home

yes you could take the 2 (barton) bus but after you get off at lake ave you would have to walk about 2km to the station.

If the package does end up going back to the website you ordered from, they will probably ask you to pay another shipping amount so they send it again. Either that or they will offer you a refund minus the original shipping.

So if it's something important and you need it by Monday, your best bet is to take a cab there.

You could maybe take a transcab
