If you do not treat your employees with respect, how am I supposed to trust you with my business.
Firing people who ask for better conditions during the long and harsh winter we are having, only to be fired and then find out others were hired WITH the conditions asked by those who got fired.
Makes me sick, plain and simple, and I am supposed to trust you with my packages when you can't even to the same for some of your employees.
Shame.

Forced into early retirement and having extra time on my hands QA took me on to do courier work.the staff and dispatchers were very understanding to my special requirements.afforded me leeway to be selective in both my hours of work and delivery routes.owe them a big thank you. Also recommended them to many of my business contacts I made over the years, never received a complaint.

Let's just say QA courier is treating there bike courier fleet fairly right now they have fired 5 of 6. They cant be fired as bike messenger we are not employees. We are independent contractors that sign a contract stating this. S if you use QA courier here in Montreal think about how this will effect you when you have downtown deliveries.

Must say I am very disappointed in a business that refuses customers. They require a minimum of 100$ a week in business in order to even open accounts. We are a company growing exponentially and will probably be far past that level soon, but kudos to QA courier on their business model.,
