The links between the UK and Canada are strong and date back centuries, which is why parcel traffic between the two countries is prolific. This is particularly true as Canada does considerable amounts of trade with the UK, as well as its own neighbour in North America, the USA. It is vitally important to find the right delivery agent to be sure that your goods, gifts or personal items complete the long journey safely, quickly and at fair price.
After all, this is the second largest country by surface area on the planet. It is 9.98 million square kilometres to be exact. Canada’s three distinct territories extend from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean, and also northward to the Arctic Ocean.
This impressive country has large expanses of land with little or no population. In fact, 75% of people in Canada live along a corridor by the US border. This means parcels from the UK to Canada may have their own challenges and many miles to cover. This is why Parcel Broker has worked hard to find the perfect partnerships with locally based couriers that have the same customer service standards as us.
Our buying power means careful and swift delivery of items within Canada while guaranteeing great value for money.
Do I need to deal with customs when sending from the UK to Canada?

How much does it cost to send a parcel from the UK to Canada?
