Ensuring Safe Shipments During Cold Months: Our Approach and New Partnerships
With the colder months upon us, shipping becomes a bit more challenging, especially for temperature-sensitive items. However, we're here to ensure that your shipments reach their destination safely, no matter the weather. We're thrilled to share that, after extensive preparation and negotiation, we've partnered with UPS for Canada-wide live shipping. This new partnership is great news for those who've faced challenges with FedEx deliveries due to local logistics issues. Additionally, as spring approaches, we're looking forward to bringing back Canada Post options, expected to be available again by March 4th, depending on the weather.
Our Shipping Strategy
We've fine-tuned our shipping approach to tackle the cold effectively. Our use of custom-cut styrofoam sheets and insulated bubble wrap has been tested to provide excellent thermal protection, even in temperatures as low as -5°C. While we've geared our packaging to withstand the cold, we recommend caution when shipping in conditions colder than -5°C. As the weather warms, we continue to adjust our methods, including using heat packs for temperatures up to 19°C and introducing gel packs for areas experiencing heat spikes above 33°C.
Ground Shipping in B.C. and Alberta
For those in British Columbia and Alberta, ground shipping remains a reliable option during these months. We aim for "SAME WEEK" delivery, ensuring your shipments aren't caught in prolonged cold spells, provided the local temperatures aren't extreme.
Looking Ahead
As we transition from cold to warmer weather, our goal remains the same: to deliver your shipments safely and efficiently. The introduction of UPS as a shipping partner and the anticipated return of Canada Post options give us more flexibility to meet your shipping needs. Whether we're dealing with cold snaps or heat waves, our packaging solutions and shipping strategies are designed to protect your items every step of the way.
We're committed to navigating the complexities of seasonal shipping with expertise and care, ensuring your shipments arrive in perfect condition. Trust in our approach and our partners to keep your items safe, no matter the season.
