Courier Services, Booking and Delivery

How do I place an order?
New customers should download the A to Z Courier® app on iPhone or Android and create their account there. Existing customers can book in the app or use Existing business client login on this website. Enter your pickup and delivery details, choose the service and package type, and review the price and order details before submitting. For urgent, after-hours or intercity deliveries, call dispatch at +1 (647) 977-1555 to confirm availability, timing and price before booking.
What is the difference between Direct, Rush / Express, Same-Day and Next-Day Courier?
Direct means as soon as possible. Rush / Express delivery is estimated at approximately four hours from pickup; Same-Day by the end of the business day; Overnight / Next-Day by 1:00 p.m. on the next business day. All four regular services start at 8:00 a.m., Monday–Saturday, Toronto time. Monday–Friday order cutoffs are Direct 6:59 p.m., Rush / Express 5:59 p.m., Same-Day 12:59 p.m. and Overnight / Next-Day 4:59 p.m. On Saturday, all four cutoffs are 12:59 p.m. Dispatch is available 24/7. After cutoffs, outside regular hours, on Sundays and on statutory holidays, dispatch confirms availability, pickup/delivery timing and price. Call +1 (647) 977-1555 and mention any fixed deadline before booking. All pickup and delivery times are approximate and depend on distance, driver availability, workload, traffic and weather. Order cutoffs are deadlines for placing regular-service orders, not promised delivery times.
How is the delivery price calculated?
Pricing reflects the pickup and delivery addresses, route distance, package type and selected service. Our Toronto–Ottawa and Toronto–Montreal services are designed for business deliveries; package size alone does not determine the price. Long-distance charges apply beyond 90 km, including for small parcels. Chat with us for an estimate before downloading the app. The A to Z Courier® app shows your final total before submission. Review all applicable charges and taxes and place an order only when you accept the full total. For unusual shipments or recurring routes, contact dispatch to confirm arrangements.
Can I track my delivery in the app?
Yes. You can view order-status updates, delivery history and available digital proof of delivery in the A to Z Courier® app or client portal. Customer updates show order progress; customers do not have access to a live driver-location map. If you need an update on an active delivery, contact dispatch with your order number.
What details should I have ready for a delivery enquiry?
To help dispatch confirm the right service, have these details ready: • Full pickup and delivery addresses, including unit or suite numbers • Shipment contents, package count, approximate dimensions and weight • When the shipment will be ready and its required arrival time • Pickup and receiving contacts, receiving hours and access instructions • Any handling, signature, return-trip or recurring-route request Dispatch confirms availability, timing and price before booking.
How do I get help with an existing order?
Check the order status in the app or client portal. If you need help, contact dispatch at +1 (647) 977-1555 and provide your order number and a short description of the issue. For an urgent delivery concern, call directly. You can also use the Contact page for a non-urgent enquiry.

Why can a Toronto–Ottawa or Toronto–Montreal delivery cost more even for a small parcel?

Our service is designed for business deliveries, so even a small parcel can carry a significant long-distance charge. Charges for distance beyond 90 km are additional to the base delivery price. Chat with us for an estimate before downloading the app. An estimate is not a booking: review the final quote, including all applicable charges and taxes, and submit an order only when you accept the total.
