Langdon man says he’s angry over his Christmas delivery

LANGDON (660 NEWS) – A southern Alberta man has a problem with his “not-so-special” delivery that was seen being thrown onto his doorstep earlier this week by Canada Post.

Brad Ingram was at home in his home office when he saw the delivery truck coming up his front drive in Langdon, Alberta.

“I looked out the window, and I saw the guy walking towards the door so I went around towards the door to meet him, and I heard this great big clunk, and that was my package hitting the door,” said Ingram. “So by the time I opened it, he was already in his vehicle on the way to his next dropping.

“I was angry that he just couldn’t take the three seconds to come up the stairs to set it down, we never have a problem with Purolator, FedEx, UPS and it’s actually very rare that Canada Post delivers to the door in Langdon. Usually, they make you go to the post office.”

Ingram said his wife’s Christmas present wasn’t damaged or broken; he’s not going to say what it is to wreck the surprise.

The Facebook post has now been viewed thousands of times.

“I’m not surprised, Langdon is a vocal town as far as Facebook goes, 4,000 is a little crazy,” he said. “Everybody pretty much has the same reaction as me is that they can’t believe the guy did this, I supported the postal workers and the strike, like I’m a union member myself and I support what they’re standing for, and this just threw me for a loop.”

He said Canada Post did reach out to them through Facebook but the message only to tell him if they didn’t receive his package to respond.

“We use Amazon all the time, and we never have a problem with it,” he said.

Ingram’s best advice to those expecting a holiday parcel: “Make sure you check it before you accept delivery.”

Canada Post issued a statement in response to the video.

“We’ve looked into this and can confirm that this is someone who works for Canada Post. This is certainly not the way we except to have parcels delivered and does not reflect the hard work of our employees. We are addressing this matter internally.”

“We ask customers to contact our customer service to report and record any incidents by calling 1-800-267-1177. This immediately initiates a customer service ticket number that is sent to their local Canada Post depot to address the incident, and provides us with tracking information to follow-up.”
