Courier Services in Canada

Some packages are too large to send by traditional mail, but still need to be transported in an efficient way. The good news? Shipping small packages like bowling balls, microwaves or computers can be done via less than truckload freight (LTL) or by local courier services. We're here to help, with tips for small item shipping, as well as with support to get your shipment moving again should anything go off plan.

On the uShip marketplace, you can find professional small package moving companies with a simple and free listing. You'll just create the listing, including details about the timeframe and item, then receive competing quotes from carriers who want your business. Usually, these offers come from carriers with extra space in their trucks for LTL freight like yours. You'll be able to talk to each transporter and ask questions before you select one.

1 | Create Your Listing

Consider what you need from your courier service, including dates and locations for parcel pick up and delivery. Provide accurate measurements of the item or box, the contents, and the weight in your shipment listing. The more accurate the measurements, the better the shipping rates from courier services.
