It can be daunting to ship from Canada to various global destinations. Who will handle the packages? How can someone know if a package will arrive safely? However, SFL Worldwide is here to let you know that shipping from Canada to global destinations is actually easier than ever. Whether you're in the business of shipping documents, commercial goods, personal items, or otherwise, SFL Worldwide is able to offer you consistently reliable and cost-effective shipping solutions. Our specific services make sure that your parcels are in fact handled securely and delivered on time, no matter where the destination is.
How Much Does Shipping Worldwide Cost?
The cost of shipping internationally from Canada will vary across the board, since it depends on a few critical factors, like package size, weight, destination, and chosen delivery speed.
SFL Worldwide offers competitive rates that are designed to fit different people's budgets. Using our online rate calculator can give an instant estimate of what your shipment details can look like. You can even add on services like insurance or special handling for even extra care.
How Long Does Shipping Take?
Shipping duration will also tend to vary based on which option you as the customer select, but the good news is there are multiple options you can choose based on your budget/what you are able to pay. Express Shipping is most recommended for the shipments that must arrive within a certain time frame such as 3-5 business days to most locations. Meanwhile, Standard Shipping presents as a more affordable solution, promising delivery times that range from 7 to 14 business days.
In addition, alternate factors can influence or delay delivery times beyond chosen speed or budget. Clearing customs is a critical step, that sometimes requires additional attention to pass through. And sometimes at the local stage, it can be possible to run into local delivery schedules and holidays in the destination country. Using a service like SFL Worldwide ensures that even if these types of delays happen, your package is taken care of during every step of the way.
Some Key Tips for International Shipping from Canada
1. Using Proper Packaging
Use durable boxes and an appropriate amount of bubble wrap or packing peanuts when protecting your items. This will ensure they are protected through the duration of the shipping, from start to finish.
2. Choosing the Right Carrier for Your Needs
Choose a carrier that balances your specific shipping priorities, whether that’s speed or budget or safety or something else. Use SFL Worldwide to save even more on the shipping process.
3. Tracking Your Shipment
Monitor the shipments online through the provided tracking service. This will help inform you where your package is currently and if you need to provide any additional documentation to help move it through.
4. Insurance for the High-Value Items
If you know that what you are shipping is very fragile or expensive or valuable, consider investing in insurance to make sure your package is taken care of every step of the way. This also provides an extra layer of security so that in the event an accident does happen, you can be reimbursed accordingly.
5. Planning Ahead
Plan ahead of time by anticipating delays. Get your package to the carrier sooner rather than later, and don’t be faced by local holidays or other delays.
What Shouldn't I Ship Internationally?
Due to international safety, legal, or regulatory restrictions, not every item is permitted to ship internationally. While each carrier has a more specific list, these are some of the common items SFL Worldwide that knows not to ship:
- Hazardous materials (e.g., explosives, flammable substances)
- Perishable goods
- Restricted chemicals
- Firearms and ammunition
- Narcotics and illegal substances
- Certain electronic devices (as per regulations)
- Live animals

So far, this has been the best service I have used to ship packages and pieces of mail to the UK. It's fast and easy, however I am giving 4 stars because the representatives speak with a very heavy accent, and it's next to impossible to understand what they are saying or asking. I don't really see why the phone call is even necessary, I've never had a rep call to verify anything when I've shipped with other companies. Other than that, I have no complaints and will continue to use SFL in the future.

Needed to send a 3-page document for signature from US to Greece and SFL was able to send for 1/5 of the price, and it arrived in 3 business days. The return Greece to US was less of a discount, but still a substantial savings. Once I requested a quote a personal guide contacted me via email to see if I needed anything and sent me the link to fill out the form. Super easy and will be using SFL going forward. Thanks, Rahul, for making this so easy!
