Canada Post’s Services to England

In 1867, the only postal service to England was via sea freight, and while that continues today, most people opt for air delivery though it is more expensive, but quicker.

Canada Post’s range of air delivery services are outlined below:

• Xpresspost International (4 - 7 business days)
• International Parcel (12-plus business days)
• Tracked Packet International (6 - 10 business days)
• Small Packet International (6 - 10 business days)

What it May Cost to Ship to England

For a box weighing 5 kg and with dimensions of 45 x 45 x 45 cm, Canada Post guarantees arrival of the parcel by air freight in 7 business days for $430 CAD. Should you wish to save some money, and time is of less importance, the same parcel sent by surface transport would cost $240 CAD, but it could be a month or more before it arrives in the recipient’s hands.

On a side note, one of the lesser known fees included in the overall shipping cost is the fuel surcharge though it is easily available information. In the case of the two aforementioned shipments, the fuel surcharge is $58 and $33 CAD, respectively. Because of the fluctuation of international oil prices, these numbers vary but the charge itself is unavoidable.
