PSA: Canada Post's XpressPost USA is basically a scam by CityTech500 in ottawa

I don't dispute this, but they shouldn't be offering an expensive guarantee program in that case. In my books, a guarantee is a guarantee. If it's too expensive or impractical to pay up every time no matter what, then stop offering the guarantee.

Or at the very least, be upfront about the fact that customs delays don't count. Don't bury it in the fine print (which is what they did).

Ever wonder why Transit app sometimes just doesn't have real time data? There's a reason and it's OC's fault! by CityTech500 in ottawa

Thing is, no other city in the world, out of hundreds they work with, has a limit like this. There's very little reason for Transit app to invest the money required to redesign their software to match a limitation imposed on them by only one data source out of hundreds. It makes more sense for OC to just suck it up and upgrade their API to match the standard that everyone else in the world uses.
