About

Canpar Express is a Canadian shipping carrier in the TFI International package and courier group. It serves businesses shipping across Canada, to the continental US, and internationally, and it's known for day-to-day parcel delivery plus MyCanpar account tools.

Running Canpar through ShipStation gives you one cleaner workflow for labels, rates, tracking, and carrier choice. Your team can work from one dashboard instead of bouncing between systems. That cuts manual steps and keeps fulfillment moving. ShipStation also supports estimated Canpar rates, electronic customs submission, carrier insurance, multi-package shipping, and electronic manifesting. When volume picks up, automation and batch printing help you process more orders with less busywork. And if you need backup, ShipStation's support team is available by live chat, phone, and email.
