| Working closely with our primary shipping
companies, shipping of your order is made easy. Our years of experience in
the shipping of perishable goods has enabled us to choose the very best
services available. There are two companies best suited to serve our
needs, Greyhound Canada and Air Canada. The following is an outline of
services and restrictions of both companies, as well as alternatives, as
it relates to perishables. |
 |
Greyhound Canada
-
All shipping must be prepaid. This will be
added to the total on your invoice. Shipments may be sent collect to
your account if applicable, please provide us with the account name when
placing your order. -
Greyhound service area is limited to western
Canada due to transit-time restrictions of 36-48 hrs maximum. This time
limit is dependant upon the time of year and en-route weather conditions
and is adjusted accordingly. The use of the
insulated boxes and gel packs may
extend that time as well. Please note this is our self-imposed time
limit and is not the policy of Greyhound Canada. -
All orders are shipped station to station to
minimize expense. Front door delivery can be arranged for additional
fees. Please
visit their website for a quote. -
Greyhound cannot guarantee frozen delivery
at anytime and takes no responsibility for thawed orders, therefore, we
cannot guarantee frozen delivery. Shipping with Greyhound is at your
risk. We use ample "perishable" stickers, however, all packaging
recommendations should be followed to ensure your order arrives in good
condition. Please see our packaging
information. -
We can ship with Greyhound 7 days a week.
All orders are delivered to the depot at the end of each day, 6:00pm
MST. We recommend however that holiday periods (Xmas, New Years, Easter
etc) should be avoided, these are very busy times and delays can be
expected.
-
Greyhound offers a full service site to
calculate shipping costs. Once your orders weight has been calculated,
their site can give an exact quote. Simply click on
Greyhound Courier
Express and follow the instructions. This makes adjusting your
order easy. -
We can provide you with the waybill number
to help with tracking should you need to track your order. This can be
emailed the same day or available by phone the following day. For
tracking assistance please contact your local depot.
|
Air Canada
-
All shipments are sent charges collect or on
account. These charges are due when you pick up your order. -
Canada-wide shipping to all major cities and
a host of smaller centers. Click
here to locate the nearest airport to you. -
There are freezers located in all the major
airports and many others have coolers available. Most orders spend the
night in a freezer in Calgary International Airport and are shipped out
first thing the following morning. The use of freezers at key locations
throughout Canada is why Air Canada is the preferred method for frozen
delivery. Contact your local airport for
freezer status. -
Due to locations having these freezers we
ship all orders general freight to minimize shipping costs. Occasionally
with general freight delays can happen, however, with freezers at key
locations your order will be safe. Priority (no-delay guarantee)
shipping can be arranged, however, the costs are often near triple. Let
us know at the time of ordering if priority shipping is to be used. -
We can provide you with a waybill number
that is used to track the progress of you order in the system. Please go
to
Air Canada's Track and Trace and follow the
instructions. We track all packages ourselves and find this gives peace
of mind.

Alternatives
Canada Post and major couriers such as UPS, DHL and Purolator can be
used as well. These companies are unable to guarantee delivery therefore
we do not encourage their use. However, many customers live in remote
areas and are unable to utilize our primary shippers and must use one of
the above services. We work with our customers regardless of carrier
chosen. Stockpiling during favourable weather (such as winter) to avoid
summer shipping makes sense and should be considered. All shipping by
these services must be prepaid and will be added to your invoice.
Contact us and we can help.
|
| Finally, regardless of service chosen we
encourage you make contact with the chosen carrier in your area. By making
contact you can find out arrival schedules, hours of operations as well as
delivery conditions if applicable. |
