Purolator strives to provide the service you expect with every shipment we deliver.
To help prepare our network for our busiest season and to align with market conditions, Purolator’s Special Handling surcharges will increase effective Nov. 5 to Dec. 31, 2018.*
Our Special Handling services ensure that customers pay only for the special handling level required for their shipment based on its unique contents and packaging. Special Handling ensures safe processing through our network and secure delivery to the end destination. One or more Special Handling surcharges can apply to packages based on the package characteristics. See Purolator’s Terms and Conditions of Service for full details.
