Solutions for Small Business — Shipping Discounts

For small and medium-sized businesses where shipping costs eat into margins, even modest savings can make a noticeable difference over time. The Solutions for Small Business — Shipping Discounts program is designed to help Canadian businesses lower those ongoing expenses while improving delivery speed and reach. Offered through Canada Post with support from the Government of Canada, the program provides discounted rates on domestic, U.S., and international shipping, with savings that increase as your shipping volume grows.

Participating businesses can access reduced rates across a wide range of services, including parcel delivery within Canada, cross-border shipments to the U.S., and international packages to customers in more than 190 countries. Depending on how much a business ships annually, discounts can reach roughly 30% to 35% or more on certain services, and some options include faster delivery such as next-day service within Canada. Beyond cost savings, the program also gives businesses access to Canada Post’s nationwide post office network, online shipping tools, and features that make it easier to manage labels, pickups, and recurring shipments.

Because savings levels adjust as your business grows, this program can remain valuable over time, especially for ecommerce sellers and product-based businesses shipping regularly. Exploring the full details can help determine how much your business could save and whether this support fits into your broader growth strategy.
