Amazon Shipping Optimization for Canadian Sellers
Every day you sell on Amazon Canada at public carrier rates, margin moves out of your business that doesn’t have to. Part n Parcel gives Canadian Amazon sellers their own direct carrier accounts at enterprise rates, configures ShipStation around them, and manages it ongoing. Typical savings land between 15% and 40%, with results that can push further depending on carrier mix and destinations.
240+ Canadian 🇨🇦e-commerce businesses already ship through Part n Parcel’s network. Every Amazon Buy Shipping label you print on public rates is one they’ve stopped paying for.
The Problem
What Amazon Sellers Are Losing on Shipping
Rising Carrier Costs
Major carriers implement 5-6% annual rate increases that compound year over year. Every year you don’t have a commercial agreement in place, the gap widens.
No Negotiating Power
Individual sellers don’t ship enough with any single carrier to get a named rep, let alone a rate card. Public rates are the default.
Platform Markups You Can't See
Many shipping solutions add margin on top of carrier rates without showing you what the carrier actually charged. You can’t audit what you can’t see.
Multi-Channel Complexity
Managing shipping across Amazon and your own store on separate setups means running two playbooks and two invoices. The cracks between them are where money leaks.
Single-Carrier Vulnerability
Dependency on one carrier removes any leverage you had to begin with and leaves every service disruption as a direct cost to you.
Solution
How Part n Parcel Works for Amazon Sellers
Part n Parcel is a managed shipping economics company, not a platform. Sellers ship under their own direct carrier accounts inside Part n Parcel’s network agreement, which unlocks enterprise rates that individual merchants can’t negotiate alone.
Direct Account in Your Name
You ship under your own account with FedEx, UPS, Canpar, Purolator, or local carriers. Not a master account. Not a reseller account. Invoices come from the carrier, with full visibility into what you're paying.
Enterprise Rates Through a Managed Carrier Network
Part n Parcel's network agreement aggregates volume from 240+ Canadian e-commerce businesses so individual sellers qualify for rate programs carriers reserve for high-volume shippers.
Pay-for-Performance Pricing
No monthly fees. No setup costs. Transparent markup you see before you commit. You pay when you save.
Managed, Not Self-Serve
Part n Parcel handles carrier setup, ShipStation configuration, routing rules, invoice audits, and surcharge protection. You sell on Amazon. We handle the rest.
ShipStation Integration with Amazon
Part n Parcel works through ShipStation, which connects directly to your Amazon Seller Central account. Orders flow automatically into ShipStation, where the enterprise rates configured through Part n Parcel’s carrier accounts apply.
- Amazon orders sync automatically to ShipStation in real-time
