As a small online business owner shipping products from Canada to the US, you might already know that it takes time, effort, and money to send products there. So, finding better shipping strategies will help you overcome the challenges and lessen expenses you and your customer might spend.
You might deliberately decide not to offer your products overseas to avoid shipping problems, but it will only hinder the business's success in the long run.
To help you out, let's talk about how you can find solutions to fast and reliable US shipping, benefits of a logistics partner, and securing cheap shipping rates. Scroll down to find out more.
Are you selling goods on Amazon, Shopify, Etsy, and eBay? It's not surprising as these four are popular eCommerce platforms globally.
However, it takes more than just signing up and creating an account to make your business successful. It needs excellent planning from packaging to shipping. Every detail should be accounted for to have a smooth and easy transaction.
If you haven't tried shipping outside Canada, the right logistics partner will help you through the entire shipment process. You need to set some goals on why you want to start sending your products to the United States.
These are a few of the questions you need to consider prior to proceeding. Subsequently, you can search for the most suitable shipping company for you. If you don't haven't thought of any options yet, check out Stallion Express.
Stallion Express is a Canadian-based shipping company that allows online businesses to ship their products domestically (within Canada), in the US, and internationally. They offer the cheapest rates, have a user-friendly website, and hassle-free shipping transactions.
First, create a Stallion Express account. You don't have to worry because your Stallion account is compatible with Amazon, Shopify, Etsy, and eBay stores.

You can either choose to drop off your package at any Stallion Express location or arrange for pick-up. We also have multiple Drop & Go partnered locations in the region of Ontario - East End, Midtown Toronto, Kitchener, and Hamilton.
Additionally, you can expect fast delivery as Stallion has standard shipping options AND express delivery options with an estimated time of arrival (ETA) of five to seven business days. Stallion Express can deliver the package as fast as 2 business days.
Stallion Express guarantees to offer the most competitive rates in Canada, from Stallion Economy USA to USPS First Class. You can get up to 75% savings. Furthermore, you also have the opportunity for numerous benefits, like fast delivery times, full tracking, and optional insurance.
