Shipping
Dangerous Goods
Purolator is the leading Canadian carrier of dangerous goods via both air and ground, with an exemplary safety and compliance record.
Limited Quantity
(Ground only)
A Limited Quantity Exemption may apply to your shipment if you are shipping small quantities of dangerous goods. This exemption is a simpler regulatory alternative to preparing all DG shipments as fully regulated.
500 kg Exemption
(Ground only)
The 500 kg Exemption is an alternative to preparing shipments as fully regulated, and simplifies packaging and paperwork. However, this exemption is limited to select classes/divisions of dangerous goods.
UN1845 : Dry Ice/Solid Carbon Dioxide (Air only)
Dry ice is a great choice for keeping small shipments cold or frozen. However, dry ice falls under dangerous goods regulations, so it is critical to package these shipments correctly.
Fully Regulated
(Air and Ground)
Fully Regulated shipments must be prepared in full compliance with the regulations for the applicable mode of transport. Shippers are responsible for ensuring compliance. The Dangerous Goods section of purolator.com and the Transports Canada website are a great place to start for information. We are also available 24/7 to answer your questions at 1 888 SHIP-123.
Signature Services
Get added flexibility or security with our signature options.
Signature Not Required / Origin Signature Not Required
Easily authorize shipments to be delivered without a signature whether you’re the sender or the receiver.
> Waive a one-time delivery signature
> Request a multiple-use waiver sticker
Chain of Signature (COS)
Securely ship controlled items that need more than one signature throughout the transportation route.
Adult Signature Required
To ensure the responsible delivery of your package, we’ll obtain an age of majority signature (based on the destination province) upon arrival.
Special Handling
Rest easy knowing we can handle most of the items you need to ship even if they don't conform to regular package specifications.
