Shipping Heavy Weight Parcels and Large Boxes Internationally from Canada
There has been incredible growth in the size of international shipments. At Jet Worldwide, we specialize in helping businesses ship large boxes and heavy weight parcels that exceed standard courier limits.
Cost Efficiency by Weight Range
To get the best price, you must choose the right service based on weight. Here is the general rule of thumb for sending packages from Canada:
- Under 2 kg: Lowest cost is via Canada Post international packet services.
- Under 5 kg: Canada Post is often the least expensive via their standard parcel services.
- Over 20 kg (Heavy Weight): This is where Jet Worldwide excels. Get a comparison quote for shipping large international parcels and heavy boxes.
Bridging the Gap: The 20kg+ Solution
Our Heavy Weight International Parcel Service serves a critical need for customers sending heavier parcels that are too expensive for standard courier express, but too small for traditional air freight pallets.

What Heavy Weight Shippers Want
Our customers shipping over 20 kg have asked for specific solutions:
- Greater transparency with all-inclusive pricing.
- No minimum volume requirements.
- Economy delivery worldwide from Canada (3-6 business days) to all major international destinations.
- Included customs clearance management.

Economy Delivery for Large Parcels
We have worked with our carrier partners to develop new pricing specifically for heavy parcels. Jet offers international economy delivery for large boxes with incredible discounts for small and medium-sized Canadian companies.
- Door-to-door: Full service international express.
- Transparent: All-inclusive price structure.
- Flexible: Delivery Duty Paid (DDP) available upon request.
International courier shipments have traditionally averaged less than 2 kg. However, as international e-commerce has grown, so has the demand for heavier parcels. Our Canadian customers needed a category that bridges the gap between small parcel pricing and pure cargo pallets.
