Parcel Express
Shipping within New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and PEI
During COVID-19 the bus carriers that we connect with in Ontario and Quebec have temporarily either halted service or reduced schedules, therefore we are only able to ship within the Maritimes at this time.
Shipping as Easy as 1, 2, 3!
1. Find a Station
Use our Station & Location finder to locate your closest location to drop parcels. You'll also find the station hours, and contact information here!
2. Bring Your Parcel In
Our team will weigh your parcel, and calculate the distance it will travel to its destination. Insurance is included for up to $100 value, and you can see our shipping rates below.
3. Away it goes!
Your parcel will depart on the next available bus. Often times, this means your parcel can arrive at its destination same-day!
