If you’re looking for an affordable way to send a parcel to Canada, we believe that posting parcels overseas shouldn’t cost the earth, so we work hard to make sure our prices are as affordable as possible.

Sending a parcel to Canada with us is both affordable and reliable, with collection and delivery costs from just £18.82. You can find our latest prices for shipping to Canada below.

We’ll ensure your packets and parcel reaches its destination in 6-16 days, whether that’s door to door using one of our couriers to collect from your home or office, or if you’d rather drop it off directly at one of our nationwide depots.

While we make every effort to deliver within these timescales, sometimes it can take longer for your parcel to arrive in more remote and rural locations across Canada.

Please note, there are a number of national holidays that could influence the time it takes for UK to Canada shipping. You can view those dates below.

Customs forms are required for any parcel being sent outside of the UK, so that Customs Agents can process it efficiently. Filling these out correctly saves any issues or delays on the delivery of your package. 

We dislike to think of our customers struggling with fiddly forms, so we’ll automatically generate customs documents from the information you provide on the booking form. Print these out, sign them and attach them securely to your parcel in an envelope marked ‘customs documents.

Canada is very thorough regarding what is and isn’t allowed into the country, and it’s common for packages to be opened and inspected by customs officials. Honesty is the best policy when it comes to shipping to Canada, and this is especially true when it comes to the customer declaration and the value of your package.

You’ll pay duty on items valued at $20CDN or more. If the item is a gift and costs under $60CDN, it will be free from duty costs. Any costs incurred are determined by the Canada Border Services Agency when they assess the parcel at Customs.

There are many prohibitions and restrictions, some of which will be completely denied entry into Canada.

Canada also has strict rules around meat and meat products from countries with a risk of BSE (Mad Cow Disease). This broadly means you shouldn’t send anything from the UK that is or contains meat, milk, egg, poultry, or by-products (including other products made from them). Carefully, examine ingredients labels, as they will not be allowed in to Canada.

This list from the Canadian Border Services Agency will show you some restrictions and you can also check the Canadian Post Office website for further confirmation of prohibited items.
