Howcome it is fastr for mail to arive n bc frm manitba thna from vancuvr to vncuvr island?

Question

I recieved expected mail via Canada Post in BC from Manitoba in less than a week. I've been waiting for one thing for almost three weeks now, and it's only a two hour ferry ride away. It's like right there, I may aswell go pick it up myself. It'll cost me more, but howcome mail is slower the closer you are to the point of its origin?

Answer 1

It all depends on the routing. Mail has to go through certain points before it can be delivered. I don't know all of those points, but Canada Post should be able to explain it.

Answer 2

They ship it all to Toronto to sort then ship it all back.   ;)  Haven't you seen all those Canada Post trucks on the trans-Canada?

No wonder stamps cost  51¢
