Small parcel shipping
4/9/2022 at 4:06 PM

I am wanting to ship a small box (6"x6" and expensive) to Quebec. Then have them return it after alterations. What service would you recommend? I have been told by the person recieving it, not to use Canada Post. I would want tracking and safe transit. Thanks

I'd use purolator, they have a depot here making pickup and drop off easier, fedex, ups etc can be trickier.

After a horrendous experience recently I will never use Day and Ross again. but they're more for big items/pallets anyways

Canada Post does own Purolator, technically.

However they do operate independent from each other, at least for day to day business. Purolator is always my choice, their tracking is accurate, local Brandon depot, they do home delivery still ( even in some rural towns ).

The only time Purolator are late delivering something is if a major storm affects travel it seems.
