Amazon ’s paid subscription service provides free delivery for online shopping across Canada except for remote locations, the company said in an email.
“Saving that money, then you knew you had money in the bank account for the gas… not luxury items, but fresh produce,” Eecherk said.The loophole was closed after Canada Post ramped up enforcement of its long-standing policy to return items with wrong addresses in Nunavut. “When considerable numbers of parcels arrive with the incorrect address, working to determine where each one is supposed to go means more time trying to sort through the pile and less time serving customers,” Lisa Liu with Canada Post media relations said in an email.Canada Post has been facing financial difficulties.
