Using Flexdelivery (lemmy.ca)

So what, exactly, is it? Does it create a virtual PO box address that gets routed to my post office of choice?

But how do I know the item in China gets shipped in a way that it gets into Canada Post's hands?

Try asking a Chinese vendor on Aliexpress if they can ship to a Canadian PO box, it's like talking to a customer service chatbot, the replies make no sense.

Anyone use Flexdelivery with Aliexpress?

Just have it shipped to your post office itself, that's what I did when I ordered off AliExpress. I think I used FlexDelivery for that. It wa a number of years ago so i don't fully remember but I believe it was flex delivery.

    Yeah, Generally most Aliexpress deliveries to me (Montreal) have been handled last mile with Apple Express / Intelcom. Only a rare few times has Canada Post handled it.

    So then the last mile courier should just deliver it then to the post office.

    From what I understand either the local courier won't deliver or CP won't accept it.

    My problem is the sloppiness of these little fly-by-night private companies that just toss things on the entrance which then get stolen within minutes, likely to end up at the local "my amazon" permanent flea markets.
