How It Works

Merchant-first flow. Get set up, post parcels, we handle pricing, routing, and dispatch.

  7. 7Weekly billing + auto-pay

What we accept / what we don't

We accept

  • Local delivery in the GTA
  • UI, CSV, or API posting
  • Standard size classes (XS–XL)
  • Weekly billing with auto-pay
  • POD and exception reporting

We don't

  • Ad-hoc negotiation on rates
  • One-off courier runs outside the system
  • Custom contracts outside our tiers (for Tier 1–2)

How exceptions are handled

We use exception codes, not chaos. Every delivery attempt is tracked; exceptions (e.g. no access, recipient unavailable) are logged with a code. You get clear reporting and we don't hide variance—we surface it so you can see what happened and why pricing or reattempts apply.
