Fashion and Apparel

Whether you are shipping sunglasses, winter boots or couture gowns, choosing the right transportation provider is as much a part of the customer experience you provide as any other part of your business.

When it comes to the Fashion and Apparel Industry, you need to take an omnichannel approach. That means you need to provide a seamless experience whether shipping freight to distribution centers (DCs), from DCs to stores, store-to-store, or direct to consumers. The key to making this approach work in terms of a transportation solution is integration and visibility.

Purolator International is the perfect choice for U.S. businesses looking to develop an omnichannel supply chain. We have a wide range of services that will cover your Canadian shipping needs, fast, affordably and reliably. From small packages to freight, from consumers to retail outlets, we provide a consistent level of tracking and service for your Canadian shipments.
