ePost Global announces the launch of Canada eDGE, a new service designed to streamline domestic and cross-border e-commerce within Canada. This offering provides merchants with a seamless solution for distributing goods within Canada, enabling faster delivery times and reduced shipping costs.
Canada eDGE leverages ePost Global’s extensive network of last-mile delivery providers, including both postal and postal-alternative carriers, to offer a dynamic and managed delivery experience. With multiple carrier partners across Canada, the service utilizes ePost’s proprietary routing logic to determine the optimal final-mile carrier for each parcel. This network – developed over 20 years of expertise in shipping to the Canadian market – ensures competitive pricing and improved transit times.
“We heard directly from our customers that a Canadian solution would be paramount to future success, and the introduction of Canada eDGE represents our commitment to deliver against their evolving needs,” says Kelly Martinez, founder and co-president of ePost Global. “By combining our extensive network, long-standing partner relationships, and proprietary technology – we’re empowering shippers to expand their reach, optimize their operations, and ultimately deliver a superior experience to Canadians. With such significant growth expected for Canadian eCommerce – we think these capabilities will be transformative in opening new business opportunities for our customers.”
Key Takeaways:
- Available through ePost Global’s strategically located East Coast (Toronto) and West Coast (Vancouver) hubs, Canada eDGE’s bicoastal approach gives merchants an option to split their inventory as needed, further optimizing routing and faster deliveries through comprehensive coverage and flexibility across the country.
- Additional benefits of Canada eDGE include:
- 100% coverage across Canada, including remote areas, helping shippers reach every potential customer, regardless of location.
- 95% of Canadian residents will receive their domestic shipments within 3 business days. Deliveries can be made as early as the next day for destinations in British Columbia and Manitoba from the West Coast hub and Ontario and Quebec deliveries from the East Coast hub.
- ePost Global’s extensive carrier network and negotiated rates in Canada offer cost-effective shipping solutions when compared to similar services across the country.
- Merchants looking to expand globally are given a direct way to house and fulfill their goods through local distribution channels – allowing for reduced and potentially reimbursable import taxes.
- As a single distribution partner, ePost Global removes the headache of managing multiple carrier relationships. Shippers can utilize ePost Global’s single tracking number to monitor packages regardless of final mile delivery carrier. This simplified solution ensures ecommerce businesses can focus on other areas of their business and let ePost manage the complexities of domestic and cross-border logistics.
