Canada Post vs DHL — AllChinaBuy shipping to Canada

Canadian AllChinaBuy buyers typically choose between Canada Post / EMS and DHL Express. Both clear through CBSA — the difference is speed, tracking and brokerage fees.

Canada Post / EMS

• Time: 10–20 days typical
• Cost: C$25–45 for 2 kg hauls
• CBSA: Canada Post collects duties/GST at delivery
• Best for: Budget hauls under C$200 declared

DHL Express

• Time: 5–10 days
• Cost: C$50–90 for 2 kg
• CBSA: DHL pre-pays duty and invoices you
• Best for: Urgent QC-approved hauls, better tracking
