US Shipping: Ship Anywhere in North America
Shipping to U.S. customers from Canada has never been easier with Stalco. We provide tailored logistics solutions that help businesses grow their reach and deliver seamlessly across North America. Let us simplify your cross-border shipping while you focus on expanding your business and reaching new customers.
The Stalco Advantage: Daily U.S. Shipping from Canada
Stalco stands out as a premier Canadian third-party logistics company (3PL), offering a daily U.S. shipping program for Canadian and US businesses. Operating from our Toronto-based fulfillment centers, we provide a seamless cross-border shipping solution that bypasses the typical U.S. warehousing requirements. This approach not only saves on duties but also ensures timely and reliable shipping for your American customers.
Canadian businesses, particularly eCommerce companies looking to expand their reach in the U.S., can benefit from these efficiencies and provide American customers with the same fast, dependable delivery as Canadian customers, without the additional complexity.
Our daily service meets U.S. domestic delivery standards and is backed by our partnerships with major carriers. By securing bulk shipping discounts and optimizing each step of our process, Stalco enables Canadian businesses to penetrate and grow within the American market with ease.
Our clients consistently report increased satisfaction and reduced shipping costs, making it a reliable choice for Canadian companies aiming to expand stateside.
Streamlined Cross-Border Shipping: Our Process
We use a streamlined, high-tech approach to U.S. shipping to ensure maximum speed, reliability, and cost-efficiency. Here’s a closer look at how our U.S.-bound shipments operate, making Stalco a trusted partner:
Morning Pick-and-Pack
Every day at 5 a.m., our dedicated team starts the pick-and-pack process to ensure that orders bound for the U.S. are carefully prepared. We use advanced inventory management technology to optimize this process, ensuring every package is packed securely and accurately for the day’s journey. Whether your customers are ordering single items or bulk shipments, we ensure each package is handled with precision.
Cross-Border Trucking to Buffalo
Once packed, orders are loaded onto our trucks and transported across the border to Buffalo, NY. By delivering directly to U.S. carriers like UPS, DHL, FedEx, and USPS for same-day processing, we eliminate the need for U.S. warehousing and related costs. Our strategic location allows us to leverage Buffalo’s key logistics hubs, ensuring faster delivery times and minimizing the additional expenses often associated with cross-border shipping.
This daily routine allows us to efficiently handle high shipping volumes while maintaining prompt delivery times that can match U.S. domestic shipment schedules. Through this dependable cross-border process, our clients avoid the hassles of managing U.S. warehousing and instead enjoy a streamlined operation from our Toronto hub.
Carrier Options Tailored for Canadian Businesses Expanding to the U.S.
With over three decades in the industry, Stalco has developed strong relationships with leading carriers. These partnerships allow us to offer flexible and cost-effective options that are particularly valuable for businesses shipping into the U.S.:
USPS First Class & Priority Mail
Ideal for balancing cost and speed, USPS First Class and Priority Mail offer affordable options for lightweight to medium packages. Delivery times are typically between one and three days, depending on the destination, and both options come with tracking to keep you and your customers informed.
UPS Standard & Expedited
These services are well-suited for businesses needing insured ground shipping or expedited service for time-sensitive packages. Whether your shipments require a scheduled delivery or need to arrive faster, both options offer comprehensive tracking and support, with rates designed to help businesses keep U.S. shipping affordable.
DHL Parcel Priority & Packet Plus
For companies with global aspirations, DHL is a powerful choice for fast, reliable U.S. shipping. DHL Parcel Priority is ideal for larger packages, while Packet Plus is tailored for lighter parcels. Both options leverage DHL’s extensive logistics network, allowing businesses to expand quickly and deliver across the U.S. with confidence.
Cost Savings and Efficiency with Stalco
Our mission is to simplify logistics for businesses while making cross-border shipping more affordable. By centralizing our cross-border fulfillment operations in Toronto, we eliminate the need for U.S. warehousing and avoid U.S. duty costs.
One of our clients, a growing eCommerce retailer, recently saved 20% on U.S. shipping costs by switching to Stalco. These savings stemmed from our bulk shipping discounts and the efficiencies gained from our early morning pick-and-pack process, which reduces labor costs and speeds up delivery.
By choosing Stalco, eCommerce companies benefit from our integrated inventory management system, which syncs with popular eCommerce platforms like Shopify and WooCommerce. This seamless connection offers Canadian businesses real-time visibility into their U.S.-bound shipments and keeps inventory tracking easy and accessible.
