Who delivers USPS once in Canada?
Who ships USPS once it enters Canada?
I have a package coming and I think it will be COD, but my building won't accept it and I don't have a tracking # and won't be available to accept it myself.
Will the shipper leave a notice? Can I pick the package up?

You'll have to pick it up at your local Canada Post office and pay the COD then if they are unable to initially deliver it.

Clearly stated on their website.
Makes sense doesn't it? Imagine the complexities, currency conversion, Canada Post having all this extra work to do, etc.
Maybe another case of confusion between UPS and USPS? Reply With Quote

Canada Post
When I ordered my two jerseys in two separate orders: The first one just got delivered into my mailbox. The 2nd one was likely too big so they left one of those paper receipt things in my mail instead which tells you to come pick it up from the local Canada Post office with ID, which I did do.

Yes, they are the courier arm of Canada Post.
On reflection, maybe what the OP meant was that there will be taxes and possibly duty payable on delivery, together with Canada Post's $5 or $8 fee.
As there is no tracking number, I guess it is not USPS Express.
Even without a formal tracking number, if a U.S. shipper provides you with the pre-printed number from the green customs sticker, which is of the form:
AAnnnnnnnnnUS
you can use this to confirm where and when it was mailed in the U.S., (using it as a tracking number in usps.com).
USPS deny it is a tracking number, which is true, because its intended purpose is for Customs only.
Even for USPS First Class International, where the first 2 letters (AA) are LC,
it serves a useful purpose to the recipient.
Until recently you could plug it into canadapost.com to see where and when it crossed the border, and even when it was "out for delivery".
They seemed to have blocked that now. Reply With Quote

Could have been intentional, so that only those who have specifically paid for a proper tracking number benefit from it. Reply With Quote
