Ship Freight to and From Canada With Ease

When it comes to international freight shipping, Purolator International has the experience to stand above the rest. Other expedited freight companies do not have the same flexibility and access to routes that we do, which allows us to get your shipments where they need to go faster and more efficiently — even your largest shipments. Our network ensures peace of mind whether you are shipping a single pallet or multiple LTLs.

And for US companies shipping both small packages and freight into Canada, our cross-border solution allows you to consolidate them BOTH into a single cross-border clearance for maximum efficiency.

Why We’re a Top International Freight Shipping Company

You won’t find a better freight shipping service when it comes to international shipping, particularly freight shipping from the U.S. to Canada. We have unique resources that allow us to tailor our services to meet your needs, which can mean faster turnaround times and lower costs. Our freight consolidation services include combining multiple shipments into one large shipment for border crossing purposes, meaning you simply pay a one-time fee at clearance. This is more efficient and less expensive than trying to cross each package individually and can eliminate delays that can occur if individual packages get held up at customs. Less paperwork, reduced cost – that’s a win for any shipper.

We have a range of other international freight services to benefit your company, including:

  • Freight courier services: Even big companies sometimes have small packages to sell. You don’t want to pay full freight prices for smaller, lighter deliveries. Our courier delivery service means that we can quickly deliver packages of virtually any size — large or small — anywhere in Canada.
  • Expedited forwarding: Sometimes you need a package to get to its destination even faster than usual. From emergency shipments to forgotten packages, we can take care of any situation that demands extra speed with our expedited forwarding service.
  • LTL: With other international shipping services, having to wait until you have a full truckload of packages to ship can slow you down. Not with Purolator International thanks to our Less Than Truckload (LTL) service. With this truckload shipment service, you get fast delivery and skid-level tracking even if the truck isn’t full.

We are a top international freight company because we have the passion for helping our partner companies succeed and the experience and resources to do it the right way.

Experience Enhanced Customer Service For Your Freight Shipments

All of Purolator International’s services include PuroTouch which means you always have a dedicated customer representative at your disposal, ensuring we handle your shipments precisely as you need us to. In addition,  our skid-level tracking allows us to provide you with more precise data for all the components of your shipments every step of the way. Can your current carrier do that?

International Freight Tracking with PuroTouch

How do PuroTouch and skid-level tracking benefit your business? If you have been doing business in Canada for any length of time, you know how crucial reliable tracking is for a small business or large corporation.

Too often companies give up skid-level tracking to get the cost-saving benefits and paperwork efficiencies of consolidation. But at Purolator International, we have perfected a solution that gives you both the visibility and reduced costs you need for the best United States to Canada shipping experience.

PuroTouch ensures that you will always know the status of your shipments. When you have a dedicated customer representative whose job it is to know where your package is at all times, you can have confidence that your shipments are being tracked proactively, giving you one less thing to worry about.

Combine this kind of service with our Client Portal and real-time skid-level tracking for all shipping to Canada, and you can respond and react quickly to any developments along the shipping chain. If you need to change routing for any reason, we can quickly adjust with minimal loss of time or productivity. This is the heart of the efficiency that Purolator International provides.

With more than 20 years of handling international freight shipping to Canada, Purolator International is the freight expert you need to provide quality international shipping that you can trust for your freight items. You’ll never have to wonder where your shipments are or if they will get to their destination on time. You also never have to worry if there might be a better way to manage your Canadian supply chain.
