ShipSavvy vs netParcel
netParcel describes itself as a shipping and courier broker, with parcel and LTL carriers in one account. Here is an honest look at shipping to US customers, from their public pages and ours.
What netParcel does well
- Many parcel carriers, including UPS, Purolator, Loomis Express, Canada Post, FedEx and DHL (netParcel services).
- Freight too: "instant access to over 40 LTL carriers" (netParcel services).
- Your own carrier accounts: "users have the option to ship on their own courier accounts" (netParcel services).
- A large user base, "60,000+ merchants" in their words, and connections to many stores (netParcel home page, how it works).
Where ShipSavvy differs
- US shipments go DDP by default. SavvyBroker clears them and the duty is paid when you buy the label, so your customer pays nothing at the door.
- A US address in Niagara Falls, New York for supplier orders and returns. We bring them across the border into Canada (importer number and CARM account needed).
- FDA and partner-agency goods are supported, limitations apply.

|---|---|---|
| How your US parcels cross | Consolidated at our Niagara Falls facility and handed to US carriers every business day. On SavvyBroker shipments, licensed customs brokers file your entries. | Their Canada to US page lists "small parcel shipping, LTL shipping, or volume consolidated services" (netParcel Canada to US). "netParcel will generate the customs invoice for cross border shipments" and "If you ship cross border frequently netParcel suggests the usage of a customs broker." (netParcel support) |
| Duty on US shipments | DDP by default. Duty is calculated live and charged with the label, and recalculated if customs details change after you buy it. | Their terms make the customer responsible for giving "the correct Incoterms or duty/tax payment terms (e.g., DDP, DAP/DDU) and the party responsible for payment" (netParcel terms) |
| FDA and partner-agency goods | Supported, limitations apply | Not stated on the pages we checked. Ask them. |
| A US address for supplier orders and returns | Niagara Falls, New York, with GTA pickup or delivery. You need a Canadian importer number and a CARM account. | "netParcel offers return shipping services via our tier 1 carrier network." (netParcel services). A US address for supplier orders and returns is not stated on the pages we checked. Ask them. |
| Pickup and drop-off | Free SavvyPickup in the GTA for eligible shipments, plus 3 processing centres and 6 drop-off points. | "schedule a free pick-up and print your shipping labels" (netParcel home page) |
| Pallets and LTL | Not our focus today | "instant access to over 40 LTL carriers" (netParcel services) |
| Monthly fees | No contracts and no monthly fees | "no subscription fees" (netParcel home page) |

Questions
Who files the US customs entry for my parcels with ShipSavvy?
On SavvyBroker shipments, which the portal picks by default for US addresses, licensed customs brokers file your entries on your behalf. On DDU shipments the carrier clears the parcel and your customer pays the duties on delivery. DDU is for parcels up to 2 kg on a ShipSavvy label.
When do I see the duty with ShipSavvy?
Duty is calculated live when you buy the label and charged with it, so you see the full cost before you pay. With DDP your customer pays nothing at the door. If a parcel's customs details change after you buy the label, we recalculate the duty and charge or credit the difference.
Can I ship FDA-regulated goods to the US with ShipSavvy?
FDA and other partner-agency goods are supported, limitations apply. Add 1 business day for regulated goods. Send us your product list and we confirm before you ship. See shipping FDA-regulated goods.
