How startup UniUni is beating Canada Post as it tries to become the country's newest unicorn
Equipped with fleets of white delivery vans and a catalogue of distribution warehouses, last-mile delivery startup UniExpress Inc. — more commonly known as UniUni — in many ways resembles established rivals such as FedEx, United Parcel Service Inc. and Canada Post Corp. From its Richmond, B.C., headquarters located near the Vancouver International Airport, UniUni delivers everything from $5 dresses and bedazzled iPhone cases to bulk cleaning supplies and health supplements to shoppers across North America. It said it annually ships hundreds of millions of packages from e-commerce juggernauts such as Shein, Temu and Inc., in addition to smaller, independent retailers. Although the company looks like many other delivery services from the outside, it claims to have a secret sauce: a network of on-call drivers, tech-driven warehouses outfitted with sorting robots and a delivery platform that prizes algorithmic efficiency in an increasingly crowded delivery market that had 31,274 competitors in 2024, according to IBISWorld Inc. data. Customers seem to have bought in. In 2024, UniUni's three-year revenue growth rate hit nearly 13,000 per cent and its headcount surged 46 per cent over the previous year, making it one of Canada's fastest-growing companies. Investors have bought in, too. The company has raised US$202 million from international and Canadian investors in its six years of operation, including a $70-million round completed last week. It declined to share its current valuation. But UniUni's rise has been partly blemished by questions about its labour practices, including allegations of unpaid and late wages and reports that drivers were sleeping in warehouses, dozens to a room. That could be the only thing standing in the way of the company becoming Canada's next unicorn — a startup valued at $1 billion or more — an achievement that would make it a standout in the country's struggling scale-up scene. British Columbia-based entrepreneurs Peter Lu and Kevin Wang founded UniUni in 2019. The duo initially launched the app as a food delivery service, a space that was rapidly growing as platforms such as DoorDash and Uber Eats jostled for market dominance. But when UniUni landed its first major contract that year — delivering for fast fashion titan Shein after someone distantly connected to the retailer spotted a UniUni van in Vancouver — Lu and Wang threw all their energies into parcel deliveries and rode the coattails of an e-commerce boom driven by the COVID-19 pandemic. If serendipitous timing was the linchpin of UniUni's early development, then an unabashed drive to court new investors and a focus on expansion and efficiency through technology have supported its rapid growth. UniUni said it has the capability to process millions of parcel deliveries per week in North America. Its 825 employees and network of 50,000-plus delivery drivers sort and move goods from its 100 warehouses to customers across 500 cities in Canada and the U.S. while charging clients much less than its competitors. '(We) deliver as fast as DHL, but for less than half its price,' Lu told Celtic House Venture Partners in March. UniUni's in-house-developed platform, powered by artificial intelligence, optimizes delivery routes and drop-off locations for drivers, and can sort through millions of orders at once, according to the company. UniUni has also teamed up with tech vendors to maximize efficiency. For example, it announced a tie-up in April with London-based GLP Pte. Ltd. (doing business as Global Robotics Services) to use its AI-powered navigation, monitoring and sorting systems to more accurately process more deliveries while relying less on manual labour. 'This reduces the per-parcel processing cost and strengthens margins, especially during high-volume periods,' Lu said. They were very fast to market and to aggressively finance themselves Charles Plant, co-CEO, ExactBlue Technologies Inc. The lower prices offered by the likes of UniUni have cut into Canada Post's market share of e-commerce deliveries and revenues in recent years. The Crown corporation's monopoly of a waning letter delivery market is also affecting its bottom line, with the Industrial Inquiry Commission recently warning that the postal service is 'effectively insolvent or bankrupt.' Startup watchers appreciate that UniUni has embraced risks, a characteristic some say is in short supply in Canada. 'They were very fast to market and to aggressively finance themselves. The company has raised funds every year since its founding,' said Charles Plant, co-chief executive of nanotechnology firm ExactBlue Technologies Inc. and an adviser who publishes research on Canada's startup and venture-capital ecosystem. Capturing the backing of global investors gave them an added advantage, he said. 'Five of their seven lead funders are foreign,' Plant said. 'Canadian companies funded by international investors have better stats than those funded by solely Canadian ones.' UniUni tapped into those funds to quickly expand. Its delivery network now covers 80 per cent of the Canadian population and 60 per cent of the American population. It has launched U.S. hubs in cities such as Los Angeles, New York and Dallas, and is set to hire 100 new people in North America over the next year. 'They weren't complacent. They grew to lots of new markets and replicated,' Darrell Kopke, a professor of entrepreneurship and innovation at the University of British Columbia (UBC) and a course leader at Toronto-based incubator Creative Destruction Lab, said. 'If you're a later-stage investor looking at Series B or Series C (funding), what you want to see is consistent growth, and that's what UniUni has been able to achieve.' Yet UniUni's efficiency-at-all-costs mindset — a Silicon Valley-esque way of operating — has mired the company in a web of labour and employment controversies. Lu credits its crowdsourced network of delivery drivers, who are self-employed or employees of other delivery service providers, for 'greatly' reducing labour costs. On-call gig workers mean that the company is always aligned with real-time demand. For example, the company can tap into more drivers during busy holiday seasons and request fewer during quiet weekdays. 'To have this chain of drivers sitting around waiting for the next order… that's the most advantageous for them,' Plant said. UniUni is now facing lawsuits in California that allege the company violated the state's labour laws by failing to pay wages and overtime salaries and to keep proper payroll records. Multiple media reports have documented UniUni's delivery drivers sleeping in a Connecticut warehouse — with a dozen mattresses in one room — to make their morning deliveries. Recent online reviews by workers gripe about the company's 'very low pay,' while others claim managers ask them to work overtime without compensation. Customers have also flooded online forums with complaints of lost and stolen deliveries and tales of drivers refusing to drop off their parcels. UniUni says that it has a Better Business Bureau rating of A+ and that 'reported package theft is quite rare and well below industry averages.' Industry voices contend that UniUni is experiencing growing pains. 'Every scale-up, or high-growth company, has had its fair share of complaints,' Kopke said. For example, Uber Technologies Inc. has lurched from scandal to scandal — including, but not limited to, claims of sexual harassment, spying on users and underpaying drivers — but has come to dominate North America's rideshare market, with a valuation closing in on US$190 billion. 'If you're trying to grow that fast, it's going to be messy,' Plant argued. They have a responsibility to make sure that these workers are getting the same level of rights as the law provides Eleni Kassaris, leader of the employment and labour group at law firm Dentons Lu said UniUni's system benefits its drivers, letting them pick when and where they want to work, while shoppers get faster delivery times. Labour rights experts see it slightly differently. 'In an ideal world, it can be win-win,' Eleni Kassaris, a Vancouver-based partner and leader of the employment and labour group at law firm Dentons, said. 'But we don't live in a world where it's easy for people to set their own schedules and work as little or as much as they want; that would imply that gig workers are making a ton of money for a few deliveries. That's not the case for everyone.' UniUni declined to comment on the lawsuits, but said 'the company is fully committed to complying with all labour laws in every jurisdiction where it operates.' Those standards differ from province to province and state to state. Last year, B.C. became the first province to amend its labour and employment rules to classify gig workers as employees rather than independent contractors, meaning they're entitled to specific minimum wages and other benefits like expense allowances for using personal vehicles and workers' compensation coverage. According to B.C. law, UniUni is the employer of any driver using its platform, whether they're self-employed or employed through other delivery service providers (DSPs), Kassaris said. All its drivers use the company's platform to deliver parcels. 'They have a responsibility to make sure that these workers are getting the same level of rights as the law provides,' she said. The company can also contractually require the DSPs it works with — who independently manage and compensate their drivers — to pay in accordance with applicable employment and labour laws, and also ask for audit rights to ensure that they're following the rules, Kassaris said. UniUni said it 'contractually requires DSPs to comply with all applicable laws, including applicable employment laws. Standard contracts … do include audit rights.' New rules to play by could help solve matters. Legislation is coming into force in Ontario that will look like B.C.'s gig worker protections. That momentum is likely to expand to other Canadian provinces, according to Kassaris. 'It's a first step and the story of what we do with online platform workers will continue to evolve,' she said. 'There is some middle ground where we can protect workers but also allow innovative business models to flourish.' UniUni's labour disputes could create reputational risk, but some say that is unlikely to change the tune of investors. 'Investors aren't a monolith,' Kopke said. 'Given UniUni's traction, they'll have no trouble finding the right investors or taking the company public … if they continue performing financially.' Iain Klugman, chief executive of NorthGuide, a Waterloo, Ont.-based consultant focused on entrepreneurship and innovation, said UniUni is on the right path by concentrating on growing big, which is a tried-and-tested strategy consistent with successful startups. 'Market size and growth rates are key to valuation. That's where they've been focusing and it's the right place to be in,' he said. The company, according to a 2023 interview with the Logic, is shooting for a late 2025 or early 2026 initial public offering (IPO) on the Nasdaq or the New York Stock Exchange and may consider a dual listing on the Toronto Stock Exchange. It also aims to become a unicorn and to be profitable in Canada by year-end, Lu said in March. The founder has since said the company's policies on commenting on financials and future plans have changed and declined to further elaborate on its listing plans and timelines. Plant, however, doubts UniUni can hit all three goals concurrently. We want more successful companies — the likes of UniUni, Shopify and Clio — and the high-potential citizens they employ, domiciled here Darrell Kopke, Creative Destruction Lab 'That's a pretty far stretch,' he said. 'It's very, very hard to be profitable and growing at the speed that they are.' Lu said UniUni 'does not operate at a cash burn … and maintains a strong track record relative to the capital raised.' Still, any milestone that UniUni hits will mark a win for Canada, according to industry leaders. 'It attracts attention to the Canadian ecosystem,' Plant said. It also generates spin-off benefits, he said, pointing to the startup booms that companies such as BlackBerry Ltd. and Nortel Networks Corp. created for Kitchener-Waterloo, Ont., and Ottawa. 'We want more successful companies — the likes of UniUni, Shopify and Clio — and the high-potential citizens they employ, domiciled here,' Kopke said. 'Godfather of AI' warns Canadian companies are adopting the technology too slowly Trump's move to block foreign students from Harvard sends shockwaves within Canadian circles These companies remain a 'Canadian story,' given that the intellectual property, jobs and tax base remain in-country, even if most of their revenue and fundraising come from outside of Canada. Lu said Canada provided a strong foundation for its launch, but the country's lack of late-stage funding proved to be a challenge, forcing UniUni to look internationally. Recently, he said he has seen an 'encouraging shift (of) a growing appetite among Canadian venture capitalists to back ambitious ventures.' For now, in order to maintain its momentum, UniUni must continue to grow fast, sell investors on its growth merits and prove that it can do so while protecting workers. • Email: ylau@ Error in retrieving data Sign in to access your portfolio Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data

TORONTO, June 26, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Emerita Resources Corp. (TSX – V: EMO; OTCQB: EMOTF; FSE: LLJA) (the 'Company' or 'Emerita') has today filed an appeal of the resolution dated May 30, 2025 (the 'Appeal') made by the Delegación Territorial en Sevilla de la Consejería de Economía, Hacienda y Fondos Europeos - Consejería de Industria Energía (the 'Administration') granting the exploitation permit for the Aznalcóllar project (the 'Project') to Minera Los Frailes S.L. ('MLF') (please see the Company's press release dated June 2, 2025 for further details). The Appeal is a separate and distinct legal process from (i) the ongoing Aznalcóllar criminal trial which is scheduled to conclude in July 2025, (ii) the administrative case regarding the various alleged irregularities by the Junta in adjudicating the Tender which the Company initiated in 2015 (please see the Company's press release dated May 2, 2022 for further details), and (iii) the recently filed appeal by the Company with the Tribunal Supremo (please see the Company's press release dated June 25, 2025 for further details). Emerita shall continue to exercise all available rights and remedies to protect its interest and the interest of its shareholders. Pursuant to the Appeal, Emerita has requested that the Permit and the resolution awarding the permit to MLF be deemed null and void. Emerita's grounds for the Appeal are numerous and include, but are not limited to, the following allegations: MLF did not participate in the public tender for the Aznalcóllar project and should not have been awarded the rights to the Project nor should it have the legal right to apply for, or be awarded, an exploitation permit.

NHL, NHLPA agree to 84-game schedule, playoff salary cap, other key elements of new CBA: Sources
The NHL and NHL Players' Association have agreed upon key elements of a new collective bargaining agreement, including an 84-game schedule starting in 2026-27, according to league sources. The sides had not signed a memorandum of understanding as of Thursday morning, but were meeting about it Thursday, and barring any last-minute snags, plan to announce a new four-year extension before Friday's NHL Draft. Advertisement The new deal doesn't include major changes to the league's financial system. The 84-game schedule will be introduced alongside a preseason shortened to four games per team. Among the new contractual rules will be a one-year reduction on the maximum length of player contracts — down to seven years for players re-signing with their own teams prior to free agency and six for those signed in free agency. Deferred-salary contracts will also be eliminated. The new CBA will additionally include the introduction of a new playoff salary cap system to close off the LTIR loophole as well as a new provision that allows teams to carry a full-time emergency backup goalie. Once finalized, the MOU will need to be ratified both by NHL owners and the NHLPA's membership. The existing deal doesn't expire until Sept. 15, 2026. The sides began negotiating this extension in April, reporting consistent progress throughout. The new MOU will guarantee labor peace until 2030. Frank Seravalli of Daily Faceoff was first to report on a pending announcement. (Photo of NHLPA executive director Marty Walsh and NHL commissioner Gary Bettman: Minas Panagiotakis / Getty Images)
