Canada post screw up and need for help

[browningautorifle]

I might just try my hand at making a stock for it

You should be able to find a cast off, especially here. Since there are guys love them as a hunting rifle and they make a poly stock, there should be full length stocks about. Try CGN and see?

I might give that a shot, the only issue is the M91 stock is actually the only stock that is hard to find. I can even find M39 and M28/30 stocks but M91 Infantry seems to have dried up.

Do you have photos of the package as it arrived but unopened? It would be essential to record the condition of the box prior to opening if any damage or repair to the packaging is evident.
I would not open anything without recording external damage first.
If all you've got are photo's of a broken rifle; who's to say the guy's wife didn't bust him over the head with it when she found out he bought another one!

Canada post has refused to refund me anything but the initial expenses of the shipping. I am very angry at the moment, time to make some noise.

Edited to add: after calling them again I now got the number for the Ombudsman to make a complaint there to see if they will change the state of the claim. We shall wait and see.

I've heard delivery truck tires make a Pffffffffffffff sound when the side wall is cut.

I think that it may be worth writing a letter to someone in authority in Canada Post first and you could say that you are considering getting the ombudsman involved. With something like this you need to keep a record of all communication that you have with Canada Post; speaking on the phone is not so good for this reason. The threat of getting the ombudsman involved may be enough to resolve the matter.

Another option is to threaten to get the press involved in the matter such as a television consumer watchdog programme, if you have such a programme in Canada.

Unfortunately if you shipped with just the standard $100.00 insurance that is all Canada Post will pay. Although I have never needed to claim I always insure for the full amount. Peace of mind for me and the buyer. If the $2.35 per $100.00 is too onerous on you ,make it a condition of the sale.

One option that is always available if the Ombudsman rejects the claim is small claims court. I might just win out of the fact it would cost more for them to send a lawyer to represent Canada Post than it would cost just to pay me my money.

Problem with small claims is once you win, they still don't have to pay. The judge finds for you and they stiff you...I know this for a fact. I'm hoping you find a stock on CGN, even if just a representative...maybe there's one here someplace? Try a WTB?

Yep, if the same her applies to Canada post, you STILL loose out Jim (thread 39) I sent £100 or so of old dinky toys to someone. Not in, so 'held for you at the post office' card left in letter box. He goes to collect 3 days later (Monday) and parcel is missing. I claim, but no certificate of posting means NO compensation in spite of the '.....its waiting for you.....' card. I appeal to ombudsman who agrees and states that they should pay. Post office stick to letter of the rules and refuse. I OVER insure everything now and endorse the cert of posting ''gold Rolex/Omega to xxxxx'. Hasn't worked yet............ but it WILL one day.
