ePost Global, a leading U.S.-based direct-to-consumer international shipping provider, has announced the launch of Canada eDGE, a service designed to streamline both domestic and cross-border eCommerce shipping within Canada. This innovative service offers merchants a seamless solution for distributing goods across Canada, reducing shipping costs and improving delivery times.
“We listened to our customers, and they made it clear that a Canadian solution is essential for future success. The launch of Canada eDGE demonstrates our commitment to meeting their evolving needs,” said Kelly Martinez, founder and co-president of ePost Global.
Canada eDGE leverages ePost Global’s extensive network of last-mile delivery providers, including postal and alternative carriers, to offer a dynamic, managed delivery experience. With multiple carrier partnerships throughout Canada, the service uses ePost’s proprietary routing system to select the optimal final-mile carrier for each parcel. This network, built over 20 years of experience in the Canadian market, ensures competitive pricing and faster transit times.
With strategically located hubs on both the East Coast (Toronto) and West Coast (Vancouver), Canada eDGE offers merchants the flexibility to split inventory for optimized routing and faster delivery. This bicoastal approach enhances coverage and delivery speed nationwide.
Key Benefits of Canada eDGE:
- Nationwide Reach: Provides 100% coverage across Canada, even in remote areas, ensuring merchants can reach every potential customer.
- Faster Deliveries: 95% of Canadian residents receive their shipments within three business days, with next-day delivery available for certain regions.
- Competitive Pricing: ePost Global’s network of carriers and negotiated rates provide cost-effective shipping solutions.
- Tax Advantages: Merchants can benefit from reduced and potentially reimbursable import taxes by utilizing local distribution channels.
- Simplified Operations: ePost Global streamlines shipping with a single tracking number, eliminating the need to manage multiple carrier relationships.
“By combining our extensive network, long-standing partnerships, and proprietary technology, we’re enabling shippers to expand their reach and optimize their operations, ultimately delivering a superior experience to Canadians,” Martinez added. “As Canadian eCommerce continues to grow, we believe Canada eDGE will open new opportunities for our customers.”
The launch of Canada eDGE follows the success of ePost Global’s Domestic eDGE service, which was introduced in October 2023 to cover U.S. shipments. Both services integrate multiple carriers into a single, managed network, ensuring uninterrupted service even during challenges like strikes or peak shipping periods.
Beth Chapman, Managing Director at Starlinks, praised the service, saying, “We immediately adopted Canada eDGE for its robust network and responsive customer service. This solution provides access to the best delivery options for our origin Canada parcels as well as our exports.”
