How much does it cost to ship to Canada?

It depends on the weight, the dimensions and the service. On the long transatlantic route, couriers charge on whichever is higher, the actual weight or the volumetric weight, so a light but bulky box can cost more than you'd expect. Enter your parcel details and you'll see the final shipping prices straight away. Any import charges are separate.

How many days does delivery to Canada take?

It depends on the service and the destination. The comparison shows the estimated time for each option before you book. In Canada, customs clearance, CFIA food checks, the distance to remote areas and pre-Christmas volumes all play a part. Delivery times are estimates, not guarantees.

Can the courier collect from my address?

Yes. The courier collects from your home or office on the pickup day you choose when booking. Have the parcel packed and the commercial invoice printed.

How do I track my shipment?

You track it with the number you receive once your booking is complete. It shows every stage of the route, including when the parcel clears Canadian customs. If anything is needed from the recipient, you'll see it there.

Which courier should I choose for Canada?

It depends on whether price or speed matters more. For Canada you'll see DHL, UPS and FedEx, each with a price and an estimated time. For documents with a deadline, go for the shortest estimate. For holiday gifts, ship early and pick by price.

Are the prices I see final?

For shipping, yes, as long as weight and dimensions are declared correctly. Because Canada is outside the EU, import duties, taxes or fees may apply under local rules. They are not included in the price you see and are normally charged to the recipient. If you're sending food, list it in detail on the invoice so inspection isn't held up.

Sending a parcel from Greece to Canada

From the Danforth in Toronto to Parc-Extension in Montreal, Canada's Greek community stays closely connected to Greece. Sending a parcel to Canada usually means gifts, clothes, books and documents. And the other way round: certificates, powers of attorney and things for homes in Greece.

On City Sender you see DHL, UPS and FedEx side by side, with the final price and estimated delivery time before you book. Big cities are easier to reach than remote northern areas, and volumes rise in the run-up to Christmas.

Every parcel clears Canadian customs with a commercial invoice. Import duties, taxes or fees may apply under the country's rules and are not included in the shipping price. Meat isn't allowed in parcels for personal use.

Useful information

Main cities: Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, Calgary and Ottawa. Remote areas, such as the northern territories, often take longer.
Postcodes mix letters and numbers, e.g. M4K 1N2. Add the province code too (ON, QC, BC).
Meat isn't allowed in parcels for personal use, whatever the origin. Dairy and other foods are checked by the CFIA.
Prescription drugs generally can't be sent by parcel to Canadian residents.
Quebec addresses use French. Around Canada Day (1 July), Thanksgiving in October and the run-up to Christmas, deliveries slow down.
