Current Courier Conditions

In light of the pending Canada Post strike, it is expected that service levels may extend past their normal time frames due to higher call volumes as a result of the strike.  At this time we cannot predict the length of the delay, however please note calls will be prioritized by the service levels requested (ex. Executives will take priority over Regulars).  Our website will be updated regularly as information regarding service delays becomes available. 

We are offering a Saturday service to assist with Canada Post strike volumes.  Please call Cory in our office for details.

Good. Fast. Cheap. You can choose any two, as dictated by the classic Project Management Triangle.

While plenty of businesses claim to be able to circumvent this rule, very few are able to even make a dent in two of these attributes, let alone score a perfect three.

At Sierra Courier, we can’t claim to be the exception. While we provide services that satisfy all three of these constraints, it’s simply not possible to do it all at once.

We will not compromise on quality. All of our work is done to the most exacting standards that we can achieve. Your package will be picked up by a professional courier at the prearranged time, and delivered to its destination where, when, and how you specify.

The other two points on the triangle are inextricably linked. The faster you need delivery, the more it is going to cost. This isn’t because we are gouging you (at Sierra Courier, we do our best to keep all of our rates extremely competitive), but when you need something rushed to its destination, our costs go up. Unfortunately, we have to pass some of them on to you. That’s why our pricing schedule is partly based on the urgency of delivery. It’s much more economical to ship something by ground than by air, and it’s cheaper when we can schedule a single truck to make ten deliveries than to send it out to make just one.

The best thing that you can do to mitigate the premium you pay for rush courier service is to plan ahead. Even a little bit of advance notice can dramatically lower the cost of your shipment.

Sometimes emergencies arise. Sierra Courier is prepared. We offer lightning quick in-town transportation, and Canadian and international air service. When it absolutely needs to be there yesterday, we’ll do our best to disrupt the space-time continuum and come as close as humanly possible. It won’t be “cheap” when compared with slower shipping methods, but our prices are designed to be fair and competitive.

To arrange transport of your package, no matter how tight your timeline, call Sierra Courier toll free 866-575-ASAP (2727) or 204-632-8920 from the Winnipeg area. You can also personally drop your items off at 1200 King Edward Street in Winnipeg, and we’ll send it on its way from there.
