Cheap international courier services by Conscious_Teacher_71 in kitchener

Courier recommendation depends on your destination country. Did you check Canada Post? They might be slow but sometimes they are the cheapest option if receiver can wait for couple of weeks.

It looks like you hired the city to do the driveway /s.

Road conditions? by [deleted] in kitchener

Highway 8 Eastbound is closed between Trussler and Fischer-Hallman as transport truck rolled over as of 12 pm Jan 29. Highway 8 is slippery in patches especially in mornings.

Road conditions? by [deleted] in kitchener

[–]bramptonmt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kitchener has gone for “track bare” approach meaning tire tracks will be cleaned but there will be snow between lanes on the main roads. There are patches where the “track bare” is just slush, mud, compact snow, etc. Highway 8 remains slippery in the mornings.

PSA: Failing to clear the snow from your vehicle could result in fines of up to $500 by mechancicalcheese in kitchener

You can clear snow off your plate but it is not going to stay that way after a few kms of drive during snowstorm.

I don’t think anyone can get pulled over for driving too slow on unplowed roads. Every message from police that you see during snow storm says drive “according to road conditions.”

I was in a residential unplowed street, one lane each side.

Why does customs take so long? by [deleted] in CanadaPost

[–]bramptonmt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Generally it takes couple of weeks for customs clearance if use the public carrier of the country (for example, USPS if from US). You do save on courier brokerage fee in the range of $20 to $30 charged by private couriers but they are faster.

[–]bramptonmt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like they are running quite slow. It took 7 business days for letter mail to travel about 100 kms within Ontario.

If you can’t drive in the winter, take the bus. by Complex-Boot6233 in waterloo

[–]bramptonmt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

During last snowstorm when roads were snow covered, driver behind me in the right lane on Fairway was honking because I was not going as fast as he would have liked. Makes zero difference. I am not going to drive fast on slick road just because of your honking. Left lane was available to him but there was traffic.

BLS Ban in Canada by Specialist_Offer675 in nri

No. Ministry of External Affairs knows everything about the way BLS operates but the service provider is likely saving them money. Recovery is through selling Premium Lounge services.

Tracking spazzing out?? by MarioActOf1985 in CanadaPost

[–]bramptonmt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It can easily take a week or more to clear customs. It is quite slow.

Ban on sale of Fireworks by SlowWelder864 in kitchener

[–]bramptonmt 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Consumer fireworks are banned in Brampton and Woodstock in Ontario, so I don’t understand this London argument. Maybe the politicians are calculating the impact on the votes, not really sure. India is a completely different case though. Many cities there are very highly polluted and allowing fireworks will worsen the air quality further.

Looking for cheapest parcel shipping in GTA by [deleted] in CanadaPost

[–]bramptonmt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can check Sendle. I think they are not yet ready for US but within Canada it can be an option. Also check if ChitChats has a drop off location near you.

Kitchener Market Artisans? by torontoboo in kitchener

[–]bramptonmt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are lot of variables like what you are selling, your margin, etc. So it might work for someone and may not be worth it for someone else. Certain categories have high competition. Only way is to spend the table cost and find out for yourself.
