Shipping in Canada ?
What's the best way to ship while CP is on strike ?
I tried canpar their quote tool showed $13 for a package when I created the shipment it was $27! UPS was $36, Purolator $28, Fedex $42 ! Any suggestions ? Could send what I need to in a bubble envelope, but how ? |

Have used Canpar a couple times in the last week. Both packages were about $11 shipped on par for price with CP

Re: Shipping in Canada ?
It's too bad that one of the national couriers doesn't offer reasonably priced small packet deliveries . Even if you had to pick the parcel up from a depot it would be a real winner.

Re: Shipping in Canada ?
I remember Purolator used to have a good rate on one of their envelopes.
It was one of the bag envelopes, not cardboard. It was a flat rate. If it could fit in the bag and close, it was the same rate. I don't know if they still have that or not. It used to be around $13 tax in. Never pay again for live sex! | Hot girls doing naughty stuff for free! | Chat for free!

Bus service is also quite reasonable but still over $10. Courier is never below $20. |

Re: Shipping in Canada ?
Canpar is the cheapest...used it this week... the only problem is there is no tracking....the UPS store uses Canpar as well ( go figure). Saved 8$ on a set of disks in bubble wrap ( they wrap it.)
Because there is no tracking, there is no insurance either. Keep in mind. The only thing that they advise is keep your receipt in case of loss.
