What Is Small Package Shipping?

A small package weighs anywhere between 66 and 150 pounds. This size is the middle classification between parcels and freight, and these packages are often transported via our Purolator courier services. While many companies rely on freight shipment to handle pallets and parcel shipping for online orders, small package shipping is ideal for in-between items.

Whether you need to ship equipment, tech or furniture, our small package shipment services help you get your products to the end-user.

Service for Mid-Size Packages

Many shipping companies offer a small parcel option and a freight option, limiting shipping to truck loads or local couriers. Working with local couriers can be convenient, but they often price packages based on dimensions and add extra costs for special treatment. When your packages are in a higher weight range, you may end up with more fees than you’re prepared to pay.

Our courier services provide shipment at competitive prices and handle the job in five days or less.
