Delivery to Canada

Which carriers deliver to Canada

YouSend pools shipments from dozens of eBay, Amazon and Etsy sellers into a single flow, which earns us deep wholesale discounts from the carriers - and every customer sees those special rates right in the calculator. Everything crosses the Atlantic by air: there is no road service to Canada, and no long transit times either.

UPS

from 2 working days

Express arrives in 2-3 working days with a guaranteed transit time - the choice when the parcel has to be there by a set date. Express Saver takes the same 2-3 days without the guarantee; both rates sit side by side in the calculator, so choose by price and by how much the deadline matters.

FedEx

from 1 working day

Priority is the fastest service on this route: urgent parcels and documents in 1-3 working days. Economy and Connect Plus take 4-6 days - the relaxed option when you have time in hand.

YouSend

Customs and paperwork

Canada is not a member of the European Union, so every parcel clears Canadian customs on the way. There is nothing complicated about it: the customs invoice is generated automatically as you book - you describe the contents and state their value, and the system and the carrier handle the rest.

  • The customs invoice is generated online as you book - nothing to print out or fill in by hand.
  • Canadian GST/HST and duties may apply on import - the recipient pays them under Canadian rules, and which tax applies depends on the province of the recipient.
  • Describe the contents precisely: a specific name for every item and its real value help the parcel clear customs faster, while a vague «gift» or «personal items» slows it down.

The bottom line: the customs paperwork is handled as you book - there is no separate trip to a customs office. It is worth warning the recipient that any import taxes and duties, if charged, are theirs to pay.

What you cannot send to Canada

The restrictions come from carrier rules and Canadian federal law - and Canada looks especially closely at food and at anything to do with plants and animals. Before you ship, check that the contents are not on the prohibited list.

  • Flammable liquids, gases and aerosols
  • Weapons, ammunition and their component parts
  • Narcotic and psychotropic substances, including cannabis - sending it across the Canadian border is illegal even though it is legal inside the country
  • Meat and dairy products, fresh fruit and vegetables, plants and seeds - import into Canada is strictly restricted
  • Lithium batteries shipped separately from the device
  • Cash, jewellery and precious metals
The list is not exhaustive: every carrier adds restrictions of its own, and Canada applies separate rules to imports. If you are in any doubt about the contents, ask a manager before you book.

How to get your parcel ready for shipping

Good packaging protects the contents in transit and counts in your favour if a claim is ever reviewed. We have put together a detailed guide: choosing the box, protecting fragile items, the drop test and photographing what you pack.

Yes, a customs invoice is required, but you do not fill it in by hand: it is generated as you book, from the description and value of the contents you provide. On import, Canadian customs may charge GST/HST and duties - the recipient pays them under Canadian rules, so let them know in advance.

Yes. The courier comes wherever suits you - home, office or warehouse. You set the collection address and time when you book, and the parcel travels door to door, all the way to the recipient in Canada.

A Canadian postal code has six characters in two groups - for example «M5H 2N2» - and pins down the delivery block precisely, so enter it exactly as the recipient gave it. Alongside the city, the province is compulsory as a two-letter code - ON for Ontario, BC for British Columbia, QC for Quebec: in the order form it is a separate field for Canada, and without it the carrier will not issue the label.

Yes. You get a tracking number as soon as the shipment is on its way, and you can follow its status on our tracking page - from courier collection, through customs clearance, right up to delivery.
