Use them to map out your send-by dates so every order arrives before the holidays. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ship early and ship with confidence<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Distance matters in Canada. A parcel crossing several provinces needs far more lead time than one headed across town, so planning early is critical to peak season success<\/a>. Once you know your carrier\u2019s cutoffs, build a buffer of an extra day or two around them for weather and holiday volume. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You don\u2019t have to juggle every date by hand, either. ShipStation helps you automate shipping rules<\/a>, compare carrier rates and delivery times<\/a>, and send tracking updates<\/a>, so every order goes out on time, whichever carrier you choose. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
