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?

not sure how COD works, but I usually have to pick up my packages at a Canada Post office.

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.

Okay that works - thanks for the clarifications!

I think you are mistaken.

The United States Postal Service does not offer COD for international deliveries.
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?

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.

doesnt purolator do usps express shipments? they did at one point

[macnut]

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.

any idea why they blocked the feature?

Not sure.

Could have been when a systems designer unintentionally put in overly- stringent edits on the tracking number field.
(They had a major redesign of their website about 6 months ago, and continue to make frequent changes to it.)

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

by COD you mean custom fee?

collect on delivery, you pay for the products inside when it arrives and canadapost will send the sender a money order
