minxybabyLee Valley Tools is a big name in Canada. They produce woodworking and gardening tools and distribute their products worldwide through mail-order. In 1998, Leonard Lee, owner of Lee Valley Tools, founded the branch Canica to work closely with Ottawa doctors to design instruments to meet the ergonomic and safety needs of the hospitals in Canada and the US.
Mr. Lee has taken action against Canada Post with a full page newspaper ad in Wednesday’s Ottawa Citizen. He has correspondence, and the history of problems going back to December 2003, documented on his website. If you have a few minutes, it’s a very interesting read. Mr. Lee is very well spoken, and does not beat around the bush.
I hope something good comes out of this publicity. I always thought Canada Post overcharged. We send 2 – 3 medium parcels out for the Christmas holidays every year and it costs us about $100 for postage. Mailing a small package of cookies to the US costs $20. At their price you’d expect prompt delivery, but half the time the mail is late.
Down with overcharging!
