Key Points

With its connections to postal services around the world, Canada Post can guarantee deliveries to France within a handful of business days. And often that is the most economical choice for Canadian businesses and citizens. However, when time is of the essence, a raft of private carriers can have a parcel delivered from Canada to France within a day or two, but at a cost. Fortunately for Canadian residents, shipping broker Secureship has connections with noted carriers that result in huge savings for its clients - at least 50% and sometimes more. And there are other smaller ways to save on shipping, delaying delivery time and avoiding high season, which this blog elaborates on these and other strategies.

As a long-standing trading nation, Canadians have many choices for their shipments to France. They include Canada Post and numerous private carriers, and a sampling of options for a small parcel are outlined below:
| Service | Carrier’s Retail Price ($ CAD) | Secureship’s Price ($ CAD) |
|---|---|---|
| UPS Express | $454 | $204 |
| UPS Express Saver | $431 | $194 |
| UPS Expedited | $406 | $163 |
| Canada Post Xpresspost | $183 | $99 |
| FedEx International Priority | $467 | $143 |
| FedEx International First | $622 | N/A |
Of note, FedEx’s eye-popping $622, which gets the parcel to Paris by the next business day. But for deliveries of two to eight business days, the price plummets significantly; and even more so when Secureship acts as your broker.

Even without an account, you can get an estimate in less than a minute.
And as is made abundantly clear from the table above, Secureship’s price is almost always more than 50% off what it would cost you if you went to a carrier yourself.
While slowing the delivery time and having Secureship on your side are the two easiest and most effective ways to save shipping fees, money can also be saved by smaller, lesser known methods.
Demand for shipping spikes during the Christmas season and with that shipping rates. Surprisingly, increased seasonal volumes start in early November and last until mid-January of the new year.
Pre-planning to avoid shipping during this period is one way to keep your costs down.
Carriers charge an extra fee if goods are shipped in a metal, plastic, wood, or non-cardboard container. So, unless goods cannot be shipped in a cardboard box, you should be able to avoid this extra fee.
Carriers also apply an extra fee for pick-ups or deliveries to residential addresses (even if that is a business’s rightful location). One way around this fee is to send the parcel to the carrier’s local outlet.
Canada Post’s most economical service to France will guarantee a parcel’s delivery within 12 business days; quicker service, as low as four business days, are possible but cost much more.
Private carriers can often provide an overnight service from Canada to France, which of course, demands a hefty price; however, Secureship’s arrangements with UPS, FedEx, and Purolator knocks at least 50% off of a carrier’s retail price. And that goes a long way to reduce your business’s shipping costs.
