Default Shipping within AB

So I'm looking to get a small machinery part shipped from Clyde down to North Calgary. Where does a guy even begin to look at who could do this or connections that need to be made? Greyhound use to be great for stuff like this.

Greyhound was our go to as well and they were great. Depending on the size, you did say it was small, Canada Post is likely your cheapest option. Don't know if they are the cheapest, but we've switched over to Purolator. Other possible options might include FedEx, UPS, or DHL.

When you say a small machinery part, how small ???? Canada post small or courier small, if to big for that then could go the route of LTL on someone like Rosenau transport or hyw 9 transport they do LTL shipments of all sizes.

One thing to do is ask the machinery company that your dealing with who they use for deliveries ??? if it's from a private guy then your probably on your own.

I would give Cold Shot a call. They have picked up many of Greyhound's old routes with bus and parcel service. www.colďshot.CA or 587-557-7719
