Lower Canpar Rates for Heavy Shipments Are Now Live

Shipping Tips & Updates | Canpar | Canadian Shipping

If you regularly ship heavy parcels across Canada, here’s some welcome news: netParcel has significantly reduced Canpar rates for heavier shipments. These savings are live in your account today — no changes needed on your end.

Why Canpar?

Canpar is one of Canada’s most dependable domestic carriers, known for reliable coast-to-coast ground service. For businesses shipping heavier packages — think 11 lbs and up — Canpar has long been a smart choice for balancing cost with service quality. With these new rate reductions, it becomes an even stronger option.

What’s Changed

We’ve renegotiated Canpar pricing across key domestic lanes, with deep discounts applied across shipments at 11lbs and up. Here’s a look at how the new rates compare:

Ottawa, ONFredericton, NB55 lbs$35.25$30.0515%
Edmonton, ABQuebec City, QC75 lbs$49.89$41.2917%

The savings scale with your shipment. The heavier the package, the greater the impact — meaning businesses moving higher-weight freight through netParcel are positioned to compound those savings significantly over time. If weight is a factor in your shipping costs, now is the time to take a closer look at what Canpar can do for your bottom line.

How to Access the New Rates

Nothing changes on your end. Simply log in to your netParcel account and get a quote as usual — the new Canpar rates will apply automatically on eligible shipments. If you don’t have an account yet, signing up is free and takes just a few minutes.
