Ship anywhere in Canada.
Right carrier, every time.
We partner with five of Canada's top carriers so your parcels move with the best option for their size, destination, and budget — not just whatever's cheapest for us.
Three warehouses.
Coast to coast.
Strategic placement means faster transit times and lower zone costs — no matter where in Canada your customers live.
Five carriers. One integration.
Connect your Shopify store once. We handle carrier selection, label generation, and tracking — or you specify which carrier to use per order.
Canada's most widely used parcel carrier. Reliable national coverage, strong tracking infrastructure, and full claims support. A solid default for most standard ecommerce parcels.
Strong for medium-to-large parcels. FedEx uses a higher volume divisor (9,000) so bulky-but-light goods often bill lower here than on other carriers. Full claims support included.
The only carrier with no residential surcharge and no remote area surcharge. Delivers to P.O. boxes and rural addresses that courier networks won't reach.
Canada's largest Canadian-owned carrier. Strong domestic network density and a trusted brand with Canadian consumers. Competitive on medium parcels.
The only carrier where the rate you see is the rate you pay. Fuel surcharge, residential delivery, and tax are all included. No surprise line items at billing.

What's right for your shipments?
Not sure which carrier to default to? Here's how we think about it by order type.
Small parcels under 2 kg to residential addresses nationwide. Cost and billing predictability are the priority.
→ Canada Post (no residential add-on)
A typical Shopify store with a range of SKUs — some small, some bulky — shipping to urban and suburban Canada.
→ FedEx if items are bulky but light
Customers in small towns, First Nations communities, or northern postal codes where ODA fees can exceed base rates.
Container arrives at Vancouver or Toronto. Goods deconsolidated and shipped B2C across Canada.
→ We advise per-SKU on weight and zone
Apparel, footwear, electronics with 15–30% return rates where claims handling matters as much as outbound speed.
→ Avoid Canada Post (no loss compensation)
Home goods, fitness equipment — where dimensional weight creates significant spread between carrier options.
→ Purolator for Canadian brand preference
Sample base rates — nearest zone.
Base freight only, CAD, same-region delivery. Your actual rate depends on zone, weight, and surcharges. Contact us for a full zone-specific rate card.
