  • CP charges extra to pick up mail from residential addresses. In the middle of the city, at addresses they are making deliveries to, anyway.
  • For a fee, CP will forward mail to the U.S. USPS does not have a comparable service to forward mail to Canada.
  • Actually, CP charges for mail forwarding anywhere in Canada. I have never had to pay in the US to have my mail forwarded to another US address.
  • CP charges you for Hold Mail service; USPS does not.


Even with the budget cuts and layoffs that I've seen happen at USPS over the decades, for what they charge the service is good value. Yes, I've had my share of deliveries gone wrong, and while inconvenient and unfortunate, not the end of the world.
