About the ombudsman
Our office investigates complaints that haven't been solved by Canada Post to the customer’s satisfaction.
Issues we investigate can include unfair handling, unreasonable delays, or failure to follow proper procedures. We clarify and confirm the facts of an appeal, and assemble evidence to make fair and equitable recommendations.
We complement Canada Post’s commitment to quality and customer experience. In the odd circumstance where a customer is disappointed and seeks redress beyond Canada Post’s complaint resolution process, we act as the final appeal forum.
Neutrality and confidentiality
We operate at arm’s length from Canada Post management. We report directly to the chairperson of Canada Post’s board of directors.
We’re authorized to independently investigate unresolved customer issues in a fair, unbiased and confidential manner. Details of your appeal are only shared with parties that are essential to the investigation.
