PICK-UP TAG
Managing transportation costs is a critical component to all business. In order to help our customers control these expenses, Canpar offers several pick-up tag options that allow you to retrieve a parcel with the charges billed to your account using our Ground service. The options include:
- Electronic Pick-up Tags – Simply enter the address information for the pick-up tag through your individual Canpar portal. If you do not currently have a portal access created, please click here to have your sales representative contact you about setup.
- Pick-up Tags – If you require a product to be picked up and returned to you, contact our customer service team to make arrangements. Click here for contact information.
- 3rd Party Pick-up Tag – In certain situations customers require a shipment picked up at one address and forwarded on to another (not returned to shipper as would happen with our regular pick-up tag service). As a result of this need, Canpar has created a 3rd party pick-up tag service which allows you to make this request either through your portal or customer service.

Our COD service is available on both the Ground and Select service levels.

DELIVERY ATTEMPTS

When a consignee is not available to receive a shipment, Canpar drivers will leave a notice and make two more attempts to deliver to a business address or one attempt for residential addresses.
RETURN TO SHIPPER (RTS)
If for any reason Canpar cannot deliver a parcel and returns it to the shipper, a charge equal to the outbound delivery rate will be applicable.
ADVANCED SHIPPING NOTIFICATION (ASN)
By providing an email address in the selected field of your CanShip shipping system or web application, Canpar will send an ASN to the consignee notifying them of the upcoming delivery. If they will not be available at the time of delivery, there is a simple option to print and sign a notice for the driver to leave the package in a safe place. With advance notice, your package will be delivered the first time – hassle-free.
