Small business shipping Canada

Ship parcels for your small business — compare rates, print labels, no monthly fee

Your shipping volume changes week to week. You don't need a monthly plan designed for warehouse operations. Covantra lets small Canadian businesses compare rates across Canada Post, UPS, FedEx, and Purolator — with fuel surcharges and residential fees included, whether the carrier publishes them or not — then print labels and track shipments without a subscription or minimum commitment.

Built around the business teams doing the shipping.

Owners, operators, and admins at Canadian small businesses — retailers, tradespeople, consultants, specialty manufacturers, home-based sellers, and service firms — who ship parcels regularly but don't have a dedicated shipping function or warehouse system.

Workflow

A practical workflow for Canadian business parcels

Compare rates across Canada Post, UPS, FedEx, Purolator, and other carriers for each shipment — pick the best price or speed without switching carrier portals. Teams enter shipment details once, compare rates with surcharge context, whether the carrier publishes it or not, buy labels, track delivery, and keep support reachable when a carrier or package edge case needs review.

What matters

Why this fits Canadian B2B parcel workflows

Fuel surcharges, residential delivery fees, and dimensional weight are included, whether the carrier publishes them or not, before you buy the label — no post-invoice surprises on charges that were visible before purchase.

No subscription. Pay per label at pre-negotiated rates, or connect your own carrier account for $0.08 CAD per label — only pay for what you actually ship.

No storefront connection, no warehouse integration, no carrier contract required to start. If you have a package and a delivery address, you can get a rate and print a label.

Small businesses with seasonal or irregular volume don't need a monthly platform fee for months when they barely ship — Covantra charges per label, not per month.
