Does Canada Post deliver to Japan?

Canada Post provides reliable letter and parcel service to all nations, and Japan is no different. Canada Post offers air and surface services, which differ in cost and delivery times. But if speed is of the essence, we suggest you consider a private carrier like UPS or FedEx, who charge more than Canada Post; however, this blog also introduces Secureship, a proud Canadian broker that reduces your shipping costs with named carriers typically by 50%, and often more. As well, Secureship is a shipping expert with more than 17 years of experience, and we have assembled numerous blogs, articles, and country-specific shipping guides to help you with your questions. And we happily share that information on our website free of charge.

Canada Post’s Services to Japan

Like private carriers, Canada Post can ship your parcel to Japan by air freight, which usually takes eight business days to arrive.

It also offers a sea freight service, which is a lot cheaper at the cost of time; a parcel may be travelling for two or three months before it arrives at the recipient.

Other Carriers’ Services

Carriers UPS and FedEx are well known to Canadians as reliable and conspicuous parcel conveyors. And they can guarantee a delivery to Japan within two business days.

But for those who have shipped goods of late know what shipping costs - even a modest box could demand more than $500 for the shortest delivery time.

However, that’s something Secureship can help you with. So, read on to learn how much you can save with Secureship, Canada’s premier shipping broker.
