Meest Canada launches an expert guide on choosing the best international freight shipping service
Does delivery take a very long time? Do you hesitate to congratulate your loved ones on holidays or send essential things? You may be planning a massive container shipping to new European markets. Today, we will identify the key differences between a good company for international freight shipping.
Please read our article to the end and learn about the evaluation criteria that are important when searching for a service, such as an example of a shipping company and many other key nuances.
Types of International Freight Shipping
When looking for a contractor, it is essential to know that all parcels are delivered to other countries via two of the most popular routes.
First, you can order air international cargo services. In this case, the route is not so important. Canada is located far from many countries in the world, except for the USA. It is worth considering that air transportation has several features:
Pros is a speed. Yes, your international freight shipping will arrive on time, and you can rest assured that a relative will receive a gift much earlier than their birthday. You should check with the carrier for the approximate timeframe.
Cons is a price. It will be a little more expensive, but for urgent shipments, it is worth it.
Secondly, you can transfer essential things or gifts to your loved ones using sea carriers. This type also has two features, and they are opposite to those described above:
The pros include the pricing. The shipment will be much cheaper for you.
Cons is speed. The entire journey can take even a couple of months, depending on the country to which you are sending the cheap parcel.
This method is best suited for those cases when there is no urgency. You can save a lot and deliver things safely and soundly.
Criteria for Choosing International Freight Shipping from Canada
We researched to compile several key points for evaluating carrier companies. It turned out that in Canada, there are quite convenient and inexpensive services, for example, https://ca.meest.com/services/service/commercial-cargo. At the same time, the carrier works with both small parcels and large shipments, as you can see for yourself by visiting the link.
We took Meest and its strengths as a basis and compiled a list of criteria that are important when searching for a service for shipping container overseas and personal deliveries:
Prices and transparent tariffs. Everyone has likely encountered markups, which can be annoying.
Simple sending procedure. Please note that Meest can send small parcels to relatives through its courier network.
Accurate deadlines. Having studied the company's reviews, we ensured that the goods arrived at the agreed-upon time. We recommend that you always read customer comments on various sites.
A number of directions for international freight delivery. If you are a company that plans to deliver goods periodically, this factor is extremely important. Having identified key routes to potentially lucrative markets in Europe or Asia, you can expand the potential of your business.
Please write your criterias to add ones to our list. We are sure that you will find the best way to deliver goods and the high rate companies.
Summarizing
In conclusion, the reliability of the service is verified through testing. Sometimes, even reviews on websites can't tell everything. Therefore, try to make the first non-bulky shipment, ensuring that global tracking works properly and there are no delays during the cross border passage. Select one of the methods - overseas, ocean, or air - based on your priorities.

From Alberta to Stephen Colbert: An imagined look at who Mark Carney will offer statehood to next
This week, Prime Minister Mark Carney promise to recognize a Palestinian state provided that its leaders can abandon violence and become a liberal democracy — and do so by the end of the summer. Article content Carney's conditions are basically impossible: Gaza remains in control of a literal terrorist organization that refuses to surrender, while the Palestinian areas of the West Bank are in the hands of a Palestinian Authority that has suspended elections since 2005. Article content Article content The other easy critique — and the one being made by the Conservatives — is that it rewards terrorism. For decades, Canada has explicitly rejected unilateral recognition of a Palestinian state, including in a House of Commons vote held just last year. The only reason Carney is breaking with this precedent is because of a series of events that kicked off with the slaughter and mass-rape of hundreds of Israeli civilians on Oct. 7, 2023. Article content Article content At a time when Canada faces threats unlike any since the Second World War, complete national unity is an imperative. This may include the extension of self-determination to regions such as Alberta which pose barriers to this. However, this is predicated on Alberta's agreement to much-needed social and political reforms. If, in the next six weeks, the province can suspend its oil sector, transition its vehicle fleet to 50 per cent EVs and phase out its environmentally destructive beef sector in favour of more sustainable nutritive options such as quinoa or jicama we will recognize a State of Alberta at the 80th session of the United Nations General Assembly. Article content Article content Afghanistan Article content Article content The worsening condition of Afghan women and girls leaves no room for delay in a co-ordinated international action to extend peace and security in the recently established Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan. For this reason, Canada will recognize Afghanistan and its Taliban government and urge our European partners to do the same. That is, if the Taliban government can sign a memorandum of understanding to recognize the systemic equity-hostile dogma of its current policies and commit to hiring marginalized Afghans in at least 11.5 per cent of civil service positions. Article content Puerto Rico and Stephen Colbert Article content Bullies like Donald Trump only understand strength. This is why, in a bold show of diplomatic convening power, Canada will unilaterally recognize Puerto Rico as the 51st U.S. state, and immediately petition Washington to make space for Puerto Rican representatives in its Senate and House of Representatives. We will also be instructing our diplomats to indefinitely continue recognizing Stephen Colbert as host of The Late Show.

Piece by piece, cranes lift 84 prefabricated rentals into place in downtown Calgary
Along a busy street on the west end of downtown, another new rental building is going up — but instead of being built from scratch, prefabricated units are being craned into place, piece by piece. Each box being stacked contains two studio apartments, already filled with appliances like fridges, stoves, washers and dryers. Altogether, the pieces will make up 84 studio apartments across six storeys. "We can crane in all the modules into place in 10 days, which is a very fast pace in a highly densified area," said Adam Beattie, president of ATCO Structures. The modular units were manufactured at ATCO Structures' factory in southwest Calgary. They took roughly three months to complete. Jaydan Tait, CEO of Attainable Homes Calgary — the city-owned agency behind the project — says the speed of modular construction is a major advantage as Calgary tackles an ongoing housing crisis. "From the starting point of manufacture to a fully-stacked building will be from April 15 to the middle of August, so just a few months, unlike a typical construction build which can be on average about two years," said Tait. Compared to traditional builds, this approach requires less labour, says Tait, and the construction costs are lower since it takes less time to complete. He says that's reflected in the price charged to tenants. "We're going to be able to rent every single studio unit, 84 studios in there, for under $1,100 a month," he said. "So if you make about $44,000 to $50,000, you're the kind of client we want to live in this building and that's calculated on you not spending more than 30 per cent of your income on rent." Once all the elements — including stairwells and elevators — are in place, ATCO will work on adding external cladding and other finishing touches. The building is expected to be complete in December and will be ready for its first tenants on Jan. 1. Despite the haste of modular construction, Beattie said quality isn't an issue. "The modular structure actually has more structural components than a traditional build because not only do you have the structural requirements of the overall envelope of the building, but each module has intensified structural elements so it can be transported to site in a safe and effective manner," said Beattie. "It's got a huge amount of durability and longevity that can endure as much, if not more, than a traditional build and the quality of finish." Both Beattie and Tait say they're expecting the residential modular approach to become even more common as Canada tackles an ongoing housing shortage, especially with the federal government backing the technique as part of its housing plan. In the meantime, Attainable Homes Calgary is developing another modular project — this time, in Sunnyside — with manufacturing slated to begin in the fall.

What are Centretown's ‘Uncommon Spaces'?
As part of the Street Seats Pilot Program, three spaces have been transformed in Centretown. Some bright and colourful new spaces have popped up in Centretown this summer. They're certainly not a common sight, and that's part of the draw. Called 'Uncommon Spaces,' these three installations along Bank Street are an initiative by the City of Ottawa and the Centretown BIA, in collaboration with Bloomberg Philanthropies. Florence Street Uncommon Space The "Uncommon Space" at Bank and Florence streets. (Dave Charbonneau/CTV News Ottawa) 'Together, we're transforming underused street corners into vibrant public spaces that bring creativity, connection, and community back to the heart of our downtown,' the Centretown BIA says on its website. They're located along Bank Street at Frank, Florence, and MacLaren streets, and will be active through October with a variety of free events. 'We want people to come explore, utilize the space. It's free. There's programming. They can come and book the time themselves. So, if they want to do a birthday party, if they have an event, if they want to just do like a book club, they can come here,' Sabrina Lemay, executive director of the Centretown BIA, told CTV News Ottawa. MacLaren Street Uncommon Space The "Uncommon Space" at Bank and MacLarent streets. (Centretown BIA) Somerset Ward Coun. Ariel Troster told CTV Morning Live the spaces were created with the help of a former New York City transportation commissioner. 'We worked with an incredible woman, her name is Janette Sadik-Khan, and she pedestrianized town square,' Troster said. 'Her department created vibrant public spaces, public plazas in every borough of New York City, and so we took our inspiration from her, and also from Montreal and from other cities that have been doing this work.' Troster says the name 'Uncommon Spaces' comes from the BIA, which has branded Centretown as an uncommon place. Frank Street Uncommon Space The "Uncommon Space" at Bank and Frank streets. (Centretown BIA) 'This is downtown, it's artsy, it's quirky, it's a place where spontaneous things can happen,' she said. 'And it's so amazing to see how these spaces are already being used. There's been yoga classes, there's been comedy shows, there's been music performances, and the cool thing is there's a public booking link, so you can go online and if you want to throw and event, you can throw an event. It's free.' The Frank Street location is being used in the evenings as a restaurant patio by Fauna but is bookable for daytime events, and the Urban Art Collective manages the MacLaren location. 'They did live painting; they did a graffiti and mural tour of Centretown. It's really incredible to see what happens when we bring the arts community, the business community and the City together to program these amazing spaces,' said Troster. You can find a link to book an event at any of the Uncommon Spaces and a calendar of upcoming events at the Centretown BIA's website.
