Frequent air freight services between Canada and Germany allows for Canada Post to deliver parcels destined there in as few as four business days, but cost savings can be had by extending that to ten or more days.

Canada Post’s International Shipping Services

Canada Post is well connected to 190-plus countries and territories, and as Germany is the economic leader of the European Union, there are many service options between our two countries. And as you will note below, there is a range of delivery times. For air freight, anywhere from 4 to 12 business days; while surface or sea freight would take far longer, but the advantage is cost savings.

Secureship’s Savings for You

Secureship was established in 2007 with the sole purpose of making shipping easier and cheaper for Canadians. And since then its online tools have allowed its clients to find many shipping options in very short order – like a minute!

And through its bulk buying agreements with noted carriers – FedEx, UPS, and Purolator – you may cut your shipping rate to Germany up to half off a carrier’s listed retail price.

Other Advantages of Having Secureship on Your Side

In addition to the cost savings Secureship finds for you when shipping from Canada to Germany, once you’ve arranged a shipment with us, its tracking service allows you to monitor the progress of the parcel at each point of transfer. And if there are any delays or problems, you will be informed.

And during its many years in business, Secureship has written and published a trove of shipping-related articles, which it has made freely available on its website under the Support tab.

The Learning Centre, specifically, includes topics like:

  • Intro to Shipping
  • Your Packaging Responsibilities
  • The Basics of Sending Packages Internationally
  • Duties and Taxes Explained

You will also find a Help Centre with a ShipGuru that can answer 5,000 questions; detailed Country-specific Shipping Guides for 140-plus countries; and more than 100 blogs like this answering an assortment of general shipping questions, and others related to Canada’s major trading partners.

Conclusion

Canada Post can ensure parcel delivery to Germany in four business days though there is a price premium for this service. Prolonging the delivery time will reduce the shipping rate; even more so if surface transport is selected. But if you are willing to use a private carrier, say UPS, Purolator, or FedEx, then Secureship will be able to arrange shipping options with them such that you could chop your shipping costs in half.

Other advantages of having Secureship as your shipping broker include the benefit of time savings from its intuitive platform. As well, Secureship has created scores of articles that will teach you about shipping and answer almost any question you have about the shipping business.
