Our new customized services include ClickandCollectCanada.com™ and FinalMileCanada.com™

Click and Collect Canada

Click and Collect Canada provides retailers with a convenient and less expensive shipping option when compared to traditional last-mile residential deliveries.
Gone are the days when customers have to stay home all day waiting for their purchase to arrive. They just need to select the most convenient pick-up depot in their area. We currently have hundreds of locations to choose from across Canada and adding new pick-up terminals every month.

As a third party logistics provider Mactrans has hundreds of partner carriers with terminals across North America. We’ve taken this database of warehouses and created pick-up depots for your online shoppers coast to coast. We can integrate with your system so during the check out process the buyer will have the opportunity to choose which depot they’d like to pick-up.

Final Mile Canada

Final Mile Canada was developed so traditional and online retailers can provide their customers with multiple residential delivery options across Canada. Our Final-Mile delivery services include;

• Curb Side – A one person delivery with tailgate to the customers’ curb side, driveway or garage.
• First Room – A one or two person delivery to the first room of the residence.
• White Glove – A two person delivery to the room of choice and debris removal. Custom assembly is available

With a population of over 35 million Canada offers on-line retailers significant growth opportunities. But with a land mass that exceeds 9.98 million square kilometers many find it difficult to get their products into their customers hands.
