    Oh wow, this is really cool, I had no idea they were working on something like this.

    I trust they can manage it, they already ship like half of amazon’s packages

    Interesting. I wonder what the buusness model is here. Not from profit perpsective but rather the inner workings of it.

      I think they are trying to directly copy amazon’s model. I mean, having an online storefront with Canadian products is cool, but that alone is not likely to catch on and be profitable. I think it’s one step in a much bigger plan.

      Imagine if CPC sets up a warehouse in every major city across the country stocked with all the products listed on their storefront. Then they can fast-track local items into the mail stream as orders come in, or even have a separate fleet of delivery drivers just for that purpose. The new collective agreement already has carveouts for that type of position.

      The ultimate goal would be to offer same-day delivery and start eating into prime’s market share.

    Not cool about them taking away my door delivery for a neighborhood box, though. It won’t fit those packages.

    Your post features the wrong link, you’ve shared their online postal product store, which has been around for a very long time.
