Canada Post is Purolator’s majority shareholder. That relationship does not make labels, accounts or drop-off points interchangeable. Check the carrier named on the parcel and the selected service’s terms.
What the ownership relationship means
Corporate ownership does not establish who performs every stage of a shipment. This page does not claim to exclude every subcontracting arrangement. Use the label and tracking to identify your shipment’s service.
Check where to drop off the parcel
Consult the carrier’s locator and the counter’s services. A point accepting one brand does not automatically accept the other; some businesses may separately support multiple networks.
Compare terms separately
There is no universal price winner. Compare the total for the parcel, including applicable fees and account terms. Weight alone or a carrier’s reputation does not establish which will be cheaper.
Request quotes with the same postal codes, handover date, packed dimensions, weight and options. Record the exact service, estimated date, included charges and exclusions. A carrier comparison is not a measurement of on-time performance.
