Expensive af too.
Thanks for the service bulletin. Not sure if you use Shiptime but Canpar/Loomis has paused all service - it's no longer an option. Cheapest is Purolator ground (useless) and next to that is FedEx Express. If you do use Shiptime regularly, call in and try to get a better FedEx Express rate.
Purolator Express is rebranded Canada Post Xpresspost btw.
The cost of shipping via Air vs ground is pretty nuts. For ref, a 50/40/40 box to Red Deer via Canpar was $40. FedEx Economy (Air) is $89. We're comping most of the surcharge, but I expect to hear from a lot of customers in QC.

Talked to my regular Loomis driver and he said they have 25 shipping containers full of stuff waiting to go to the interior. They'll only take shipments going within the lower mainland or the island.
