With Unparalleled Cross-Border Expertise, Purolator USA Launches New Premium Express Delivery Service to Canada
Jericho, NY – Recognized for the most extensive distribution network in Canada and expertise in cross border delivery, Purolator USA announces the official New York metropolitan-area launch of Purolator USA Express™ Service, an economical, premium-level delivery solution for timely, guaranteed shipments to Canada. Purolator USA is the US subsidiary of Canada’s largest delivery network, Purolator Courier Ltd.
The unrivaled benefits Purolator USA offers with the introduction of Purolator USA Express include guaranteed on-time delivery without the additional cost normally applied for international delivery service, a web-based paperless customs clearance process that prepares customs paperwork electronically, and premium air service at ground service rates.
“Purolator USA Express was created in response to the many businesses which complained about the lack of options for overnight and 2nd day delivery to the Canadian market. When it comes to delivering packages from the US to Canada, there is no smarter option for businesses,” explained Conal Finnegan, Vice President for Strategy and Business Development, Purolator USA. “We are the only delivery network that has the Canadian resources to offer premium service to Canada at a competitive price point and New York area businesses are taking note.”
Purolator USA is uniquely qualified to meet the needs of New York companies doing business in Canada because of Purolator’s expertise with cross border logistics. Purolator USA is able to offer guaranteed on-time delivery without the additional cost usually charged by other courier companies for international delivery service because Purolator’s network is more extensive than most logistics providers, allowing packages shipped via Purolator USA Express easy access to some of the most remote regions of that country. Purolator maintains facilities on both sides of the US and Canadian border, and as a subsidiary of Canada’s largest delivery network, provides customers access to an extensive Canadian distribution network.
Another key benefit for businesses using Purolator USA Express is its online shipment application, OLS, the industry’s first web-based paperless customs clearance process that prepares Canadian customs paperwork electronically and ensures that shipments arrive at the Canadian border pre-cleared for entry.
Bilateral trade agreements between New York State and Canada also impact the need for a reliable and cost effective cross-border delivery service, with more and more area companies realizing the potential for doing business in Canada. “Purolator USA is uniquely qualified to meet the expanding needs of businesses, especially during the economic downturn, when many are looking to Canada for business opportunities,” continued Finnegan. “Purolator USA is rapidly becoming the logistics provider of choice.”
Purolator USA Express offers businesses four delivery options for delivering time-sensitive, small packages to Canada:
- Purolator Express 9:00 AM – Money Back Guaranteed next-day delivery to Canada by 9:00 AM, for urgent shipments
- Purolator Express 10:30 AM – Money Back Guaranteed next-day delivery to Canada by 10:30 AM, for urgent shipments that need to arrive by mid-morning
- Purolator Express – Ideal for next day shipments that are still urgent, but can be delivered to their Canadian destination by end-of-day

With US headquarters in New York and facilities across New York State, Purolator entered the US market in 1998 and recently expanded into nine cities across the country including Los Angeles, Seattle, Chicago, Detroit, Dallas/Ft. Worth, Philadelphia, Buffalo, Cleveland, and Raleigh/Durham.
