Purolator International, a leading provider of North American logistics services, has expanded its next-day air delivery into Canada, making the service available to more U.S.-based shippers. Fully customizable, Purolator International’s cross-border air network is ideal for critical parts, healthcare supplies, and high-value goods.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Purolator International utilized its air network to deliver time-critical test kits and personal protective equipment (PPE) to clinics, hospitals, and patients in Canada. Delivery options can be as early as 9 a.m., 10:30 a.m. or 12 p.m. with 99% on-time arrivals.

“Over the past few months, our next-day service into Canada has proven to be a fast and reliable solution for time-critical shipments into Canada. Packages are consolidated in the U.S. for a simple and cost-effective border crossing, and then routed into Canada’s number one air network for seamless delivery to the end customer,” said Paul Tessy, Senior Vice President, Purolator International. “We have increased our capacity to make this vital service available to U.S. customers from additional markets – with delivery available to any address in Canada.”

Purolator’s next-day air service is a great solution for customers without a Canadian distribution center. Packages are consolidated in the U.S., utilizing Purolator’s deep regulatory experience and end-to-end oversight to ensure every product is delivered on time and on budget.

As a fully customizable offering, customers have the ability to modify order cutoff and pickup times to tailor a shipping schedule. Purolator also offers variable or fixed cost-pricing options available based on volume, so that customers can scale up during peak season as needed.

“Time can be crucial when it comes to a life-saving device or a ‘line-down’ factory. Our expanded offering makes next-day more accessible to U.S. businesses, in a way that is cost-effective, reduces customs delays, and is flexible to the way individuals businesses operate,” concluded Tessy.
