How to ship a package within Canada
Sign in to your GoorooShip account, enter your shipping addresses and package details, compare rates from multiple carriers, then pay and print your label. Here's each step in detail.
Steps
- Sign in or register: Sign in to your existing account, or register a new one — it's free and doesn't require a credit card.
- Select "Ship": From the top menu, choose Ship, then select Package or Envelope depending on your shipment.
- Enter the shipping-from and shipping-to addresses: Use the address search box and enter a postal code — autocomplete fills in the city, province, and other details. Check Is residential if the address is a home.
- Enter package details: Provide the length, width, height, weight, quantity, and insurance amount. Use Add New Package if you're sending more than one box.
- Review your details: Double-check the total number of packages, insured value, and weight before continuing.
- Get rates: Select Get Rates to compare quotes from Canpar, GLS, Purolator, UPS, and other carriers side by side.
- Choose your service and pay: Pick the rate and service level that fits your budget and timeline, then complete payment.
- Print your label: Print the shipping label (and commercial invoice, if applicable).
- Arrange pickup or drop-off: Schedule a carrier pickup, or drop the package off at a nearby depot.
- Track your shipment: Use track and trace to follow your package until it's delivered.
By comparing rates before you book, you avoid defaulting to one carrier that may not be the cheapest option for your specific package and route.
