Feedback about reasonable shipping times from TeaVivre to Canada

31 Replies

I did have to sign for my package at the door with Canada Post, so there’s that. I wonder whether that is the case with all Teavivre’s orders. Most other things, like subscriptions from other companies for example, and tea orders are just left at the door on the porch: DT, Zen, Capital, Camellia Senensis. and others.

Anyway, at least now we know that Teavivre during shopping season can take a while and not to get all in a state if things do take time.

I generally have to sign for all of my purchases from China. My mailman and I have an agreement where he will leave the parcels for me unless it’s registered mail or something of the sort but otherwise I have had to sign if it is delivered by a different agent.

I’m pretty sure that I have had to sign for all of my Teavivre orders

I can’t say this is an accurate memory, but if the box is small enough to fit in my mailbox I am pretty sure I have not signed for an order from Teavivre. That said, it usually doesn’t fit so I have to go pick it up. I still don’t think I signed, but it’s been nearly a year and things may have changed.

My parcels from Verdant, now directly from China, are just left at the door, but these tend to be less of a purchase than the one I made with Teavivre, which was over $50. Perhaps the cost of the parcel is the deciding factor?

There were two previous mail deliverers who I got along with rather well and could have had an understanding with. Now there is a new one on my route and I just met him for the first time the other day.

I think I’ve had to go pick up all my Teavivre orders from the post office as well.

On the other hand maybe processing times are improving. I have an e-packet parcel that was posted on the 15th make it out of customs in Vancouver in the 19th. At this rate I might actually receive it by the Friday. If so that would be the fasted I’ve ever received anything from China.
