Cross Border Shipping
from the U.S. to Canada
Ordering products from the United States? Many US suppliers will not ship to Canada or charge high international shipping and brokerage fees. PF Collins facilitates cross-border movements, expedited customs clearance, and final delivery to your door at a competitive rate.
All you have to do is instruct your supplier to ship your materials to our agent in Calais, Maine (just steps from the USA-Canada border). Our experienced Freight Forwarders will take it from there.
