In addition to our one-on-one customer service by phone and at the counter, our digital Cargo area will prepare you to ship with information about:
The cost of shipping is based on the Economy rate, which changes every three months to better reflect fluctuating market and operational costs (fuel), provide fairer rates operation-wide, and match industry standards. The Economy rates are specific to each route group and are posted here.
The cost of shipping is also based on what you’re shipping, how soon you need your shipment to arrive, what your budget is, as well as the weight and dimensions of your shipment. This is all recorded on your air waybill (AWB); please visit the Air Waybill section for information on how to complete yours. See the Service Products available to find out how fast your shipment can arrive. Most items you’ll ship are Everyday Goods, so start at that section to find out if what you’re shipping needs specialized care.
Please see the Community Investments section for more information about shipping personal food, country food, snow machines, and ATVs (ex. Hondas).
Please see the Dangerous Goods section for information on what qualifies as a dangerous good, the shipper’s responsibilities and the guidelines we maintain.
