As I have made mention two weeks ago. for my 42nd birthday, which will be on the 5th; my boss gave me a round trip air ticket to the US capital. if no delays on the flight and hassles on immigration :-)) i'll set my first step in DC at 12:45, June 1 The second US state after New York... I am so excited although a little sad Because Jim cannot come with me.,, But we have planned an alternate holiday for the two of us. And that is to OTTAWA, another capital... Hopefully, we can do it this coming month, June, my birthday month... Any suggestions as to the must "see" and must "do"... In a tight budget tho, so you know what I mean... E. X. C. I. T. E. D.

Where is at least the "SORRY" Miss Canada Post

i left my earphone at home last weekend. and my friend was so kind enough to send it to me via Canada Post.

but before sending it, just to make sure; he showed it to the lady in the Post Office before closing it and put the stamps and hand it to her.

the mail arrived to me in this way:

"Walang problema po",
means "no problem...
unluckily that is not the case... :-(
torn and empty. i immediately send a text to him and tell him what happened. I was so disappointed.

and an hour after of the same day, I went to the Drugstore nearby where they have an office (I thought), and informed the lady on duty but she said it was only an outlet for the Post Office but not directly of Canada Post. She was so sad that it happened and gave me the hotline to file my complain. As soon as I went home, I open the Canada Post Website and see if it is possible To file a complain online. Yes it is possible! so i fill out the online complain form.

Unluckily I was not able to send a pic of the letter.

This morning I received a call from Canada Post asking me of the details of the enquiry. No "good morning" as how we are taught of when answering or making a call, or any greeting at all. No name too - just "I am from Canada Post"...

So the enquiry go on. And to a more disappointing note, it came out like it is solely our fault by sending it thru a regular letter envelope. Where, when I ask my friend about it, he told me that he showed it to the Post Office  personnel and he was ask to go on for it is sorted out in a box where it will be done manually. What's the truth about this, the lady on the phone told me that, all mails are sorted by machine unless, YOU PAY EXTRA FOR HAND SORTING...?

The amount of that Iphone4 earphone is irrelevant. In my meager salary, I can save and spare a little until I can buy a replacement. But? The "NO SORRY" call is a little bit disappointing. and blag, the phone "died"...

she even asked me in an arrogant voice - what do I need from Canada Post then? what should I answer? I have lost of words. It seems like a replacement is not possible because she keeps repeating it's our fault and if be sad about what happened, guess even "SORRY" or "APOLOGY" is close to impossible.

By the way, by the look of the envelope, having at least a meter of wire, 2 ear phones, 1 jack, 1 mic, and a control... don't you think even just a piece of it was left. Or at least ripped off the whole envelope because it was placed from end to end of the envelope...

Ah, let's not talk about it... the most serious part is - "WHERE IS THE -  SORRY sir this happened.!" and suggest the best way to send things like this next time... MANNERS PEOPLE, MANNERS.
