RE:OCS deliveriesGood question. The government did announce that Canada Post would be a delivery service used. Not sure if any others mentioned. I'm sure there will be many, along with private businesses and 1 hr delivery services. Not sure how the OCS will deal with shipping regulations.
I work at Canada Post. We receive a lot of cannabis product. From my experience, outside of the OCS guidelines... presently, packages are not left at the front door or in a unlocked personal mailbox. Packages are often dropped in a locked community mailbox, if you have one. Or, they will deliver and require a signature. I am pretty sure it would be time consuming to deliver each package to the door and receive a signature. Not sure if there are enough hours in a day or present carriers to get a signature each delivery, when there are locked community boxes.

I recall reading somewhere something about the postal person having to verify ID of the recipient to ensure they are of legal age. This will complicate things as A) someone needs to be present at the delivery point otherwise it goes back to a post office for the next day pick-up, B) the fact that cananbis shipments needs to be validated on delivery means tehre is no discretion to what you're ordering.
Thoughts?
