I can give some information on why

Canada Post system is the most generic and reliable service (most cases), and there are drop off locations and post offices everywhere in B.C

The distance and commute for Canada Post's are all within 15 minutes of each other or less..
Purolator there are only 3-5 facilities, and their service is only Next Day or Greater

Canada Post has a good set rate of around $35-$50 per LB for shipping versus Purolator $120-$150 per 1LB.

Purolator is sister company with Canada Post lol which is strange but they ship and work the same.

I hope this provide some insight

TL/DR

- CP is everywhere
- Purolator there's only a few, and very far away from one another

They don’t right now though.
My previous Purolator location shut down as their lease expired for the property.
They are in the process of relocating and we will definitely bring them back once they are ready =)
