My experience has been that it's small items that can be shipped via courier, it's not a problem. I have stuff arriving via FedEx tomorrow or the day after. Shipping tends to be pricey though, so be cautious.
For large items, I'm pretty sure that they use their own staff/courier, and you have to be within 100 km of the city. Regina is a designated pick-up spot for shipping. A few years ago they selected a small handful of sites that were too small to have a store, but still had a decent customer base that they could basically use as a pick-up point for the region.
I never successfully figured out how to ship large items to Brandon - I will just go pick it up in-store when I'm in Winnipeg next.
I know that doesn't particularly help you with your dilemma, but that's just what I've gleaned over the years.
