No - It's silly.
The postal code is enough to narrow it down to a radius of a few hundred metres (or less). That combined with the fact that it says Canada should have made it very apparent to any postal worker that you were looking for Toronto Ontario. BTW who is sending it back the US Postal Service or Canada Post? Either way it's silly but I'm curious. |

Yes its fair, there are so many places where thesame name of a town appears in various states, provinces etc, that the post office has to be careful, otherwise a package for Vancouver Washington could end up in Vancouver Bc Canada. or a pkg for portland maine could end up in portland oregon. |

You did not put a house/building number on it. Many buildings in Toronto house lots of business tenants. I rarely know postal carriers to go into office towers to deliver. They drop it off in one mailroom.
I personally work downtown where 5 office towers (30+ floors) all have the same postal code. The package got to Ontario I am sure but no one knew who to give it to.
Addition: Does she live in an apartment? This is my last question. If the apartment (unit number) was on it...then I think you are right. I would complain to Canada Post because a postal code is supposed to "speed up" the service. |

By what you've indicated in your answer....you didn't mark the street number. Maybe that's why it's coming back? McGowan Road is a long road.....if it really is coming back just because you didn't put Ontario on it...............That's silly! |

An accurate postal code should have allowed the post office to determine it was Toronto, Ontario, Canada so I don't believe that was the problem.
If what you posted was all that was supplied to the post office, they will not know the actual street address. The postal code narrows it to a city block or two, but that can still be quite a few houses to search for "Mr. Smith" or whoever. If the Toronto post office does not recognize the name, it is likely to be sent back.
Give you an example. I had a package sent to me at my work. I waited and waited and then found out it had been sent back to the sender. I had given them all the details to get it to the front door of the building, but forgot to give them the suite number, so they could not narrow it down to a guy named Steven on a specific floor (we have seven floors).
It's little things like that which can be annoying but it's our own fault...the world is not a small and simple place anymore. |

McCowan Road is a major artery. It is very long. You must enter the number.
We're just like the States. You must enter the province(state). The postal code is a must. |

Does it have a big sticker on it saying it needs full address? If so, it is designed to peel it off, correct it and drop it back in the mail.
Oh - that is how Canadian mail works. But looks like you sent it from the UK.
Yes then, it's a minor error that they could have figured out - Toronto, Canada. As long as you had the address in there and not just the street. |

Did you have a street number on it? If you don't have a street number, they will not know what house/building to send it to.
If you did have the street number, city name, country and postal code ... it should have arrived without a problem. I have relatives who live in the UK, and they send packages all the time, without writing the province. |

No, it will make it there. If you have the postal code clearly labelled it will get to Toronto, Ontario. In the post office they simply scan the postal code and send things off that way. |
