FAQ
what people ask before they ship
What does it cost?
The carrier’s rate for your parcel plus a handling fee, with GST on top. You see the exact total before you pay, and you can compare it against every other carrier’s rate for the same parcel.
Can I get a price before I come in?
Yes. Send us the destination postal code and your parcel’s size and weight through the contact page, or text 587-315-2167, and we’ll reply with a quote. It’s free.
Which carriers can I use?
Purolator, UPS, FedEx and Canada Post, compared side by side for every shipment. Pick the cheapest, the fastest, or the one you trust.
Do I need an account?
No. Walk-ins pay at the desk. Corner members and mailbox customers can have it billed to their account instead.
Where can I ship to?
Anywhere in Canada right now. US and international shipping is coming; ask at the desk if you need it sooner.
Does it need to be packed?
Yes, please bring it packed and sealed. We weigh and measure it as it will travel. Not accepted: dangerous goods, perishables, cash, and anything over the carrier’s weight limits.
What about returns and online-order drop-offs?
The Corner is a UPS Access Point, so prepaid UPS returns and pickups work here as they always have. See the Cochrane courier locations page for other carriers.
