FAQs

Sendle is the cost-effective choice, with up to 55% savings compared to Canada Post. Small businesses can save significantly with Sendle, starting at just $6.65. Plus, we offer free Sendle cover up to $100 for all packages, free tracking, free pickups, and 100% carbon-neutral shipping at no extra cost. In contrast, Canada Post may charge extra fees for insurance and pickups, making Sendle the budget-friendly option for small businesses.

Sendle is the top choice for small businesses shipping within Canada, whether it's for domestic shipments or shipping to the U.S. Our rates are not only affordable but also accessible without the barriers you might encounter with other carriers like Canada Post. Unlike some carriers that lock their best rates behind tiers or require high volumes, Sendle has no minimums and won't charge you extra to access the best low shipping prices. We're dedicated to making shipping simpler and more cost-effective for businesses like yours.

Sendle is specifically built for small businesses, and we know that every dollar counts when you're growing a business. That's why we'll never charge you extra to access cheaper rates, skimp on the savings, or require contracts for world-class service and support. Canada Post may require small businesses to pay more, meet qualifications, or do extra in order to save a little.

Nope! Unlike Canada Post, Sendle does not charge you any peak surcharges or fees when packages are returned to sender. We believe it's important that you're always able to save on shipping and put more money back into your overhead, instead of paying extra fees during peak season or for any other reason.

The key difference lies in who we're designed for. Sendle is shipping designed for small businesses. We believe everyone should have access to affordable shipping, which is why we have no minimums and won't charge you extra to access the best rates. 

Canada Post often requires specific qualifications for their best rates, excluding many small businesses from affordable shipping. With Sendle, you get affordable rates, easy shipping, and speedy, reliable service designed to level the playing field for small businesses.

Seamlessly integrate Sendle in less than a day with the eCommerce platforms you already love using. Easily save time on running your business by automating your shipping and letting Sendle handle it. Integrations may vary with Canada Post, and can take a while to set up.

Unlike Canada Post, Sendle provides tracking and coverage without tier requirements. Other carriers may leave small businesses stranded if they don't meet high-volume or tier qualifications. Sendle, on the other hand, has no minimums for free tracking and offers coverage up to $100. Plus, we're just as speedy when it comes to delivering to your customer's doorstep. Our dedication to reliability ensures your shipments arrive safely and on time.

Not at all! We don't believe in hidden contracts, lock-in fees, or the like around here. We want shipping to be as easy and breezy as possible – whether you're a budding business or are shipping at high volumes. Canada Post may require contracts for certain features or for certain tiers, while you only need a Sendle account (which is free!) to get low shipping rates, speedy service, and great support.
