How much does it cost to courier from Canada to France?

How much it costs to courier from Canada to France is like asking: How long is a piece of string? It comes down to what is being shipped, how quickly, and at what time of year. And because of recent world events, even a small parcel could be very expensive to courier. However, Canadian residents are lucky as Secureship can save its clients at least 50% on a courier’s retail shipping rates on parcels headed to France from Canada. But you may still find the rates unbelievably high; and that could be due to shipping in the industry’s high season - Christmas holidays. Another factor that can boost rates is a parcel’s size - bigger ones cost more even when the weight remains the same.

How Secureship Saves You on Shipping

For a six-kilogram parcel shipped from Toronto’s Pearson to Paris’s Charles-de-Gaulle, the quickest delivery is one business day, which FedEx will accomplish for $699!

But despair not, as the table below shows, Secureship can find you many other far more economical options.

And that is because of its bulk buying agreements with Canada Post, UPS, and FedEx, which could lead to savings of up to 65% from a courier’s walk-in, over-the-counter price.

Christmas Holiday Rates

The shipping estimate above was created from Secureship’s estimator function - an easy and intuitive tool that takes less than a minute from input to output.

Even with Secureship’s savings, you may find the prices higher than traditionally or higher than you’d like to pay.

One reason may be the season - Christmas; though still late November when the estimate was done, shipping volumes start climbing noticeably in early November and remain higher than normal until the new year.

One lesson for next year may be to ship non-essential parcels before or after the high seas to save on shipping.

How What is Being Shipped Affects Rates

What is being shipped does not in of itself determine its shipping rate, but its size does. And size could mean how heavy or how large.

A heavier parcel ships for more, obviously, and little can be done to change that. However, if a light object is packed in a larger than necessary box, that shipment would cost you more.

And the reason for that is because of a courier’s billable weight, which without going into the calculations, is best summed up by the diagram below - guess which ships for more!

Conclusion

Courier rates from Canada to France increase with shorter delivery times, during the Christmas high season (early November till mid-January), and for larger parcels (even if the weight of the goods is the same; so using a smaller box will save you money). And though shipping is more expensive than ever, Canadian founded Secureship has agreements with FedEx, UPS, and Purolator that could drop a parcel’s shipping rate by as much as two-thirds. And Secureship also makes arranging shipping quick and easier so you save time and money.
