How long will it take to implement the canadaplus.com program?
That
really depends on the size of your business and on the method of communication
we implement between your company and canadaplus.com. Will
you be communicating using an electronic method, or using a manual method
(facsimile)? The time required for implementation of electronic exchange may
take longer, depending on your IT resources and how much time they can
dedicate to implementing the program. Typically, smaller accounts using a
manual communication process can be up and running in less than one month.
Our company ships just a few thousand packages to Canada every year.
Is it worth doing business with canadaplus.com at those levels?
Yes. In fact
many of our clients find that their business increases once they have implemented
our program - some as much as 20%. When your customers see the increased speed
and reduced costs gained through canadaplus.com (compared to typical 'courier'
rates) they are more likely to make repeat purchases and recommendations to friends.
But we're a smaller account - will our business get lost with all of your larger accounts?
Our business
is built on the strength of our client relationships. Some clients ship a few
hundred packages per year, others ship hundreds of thousands. Our service track
record speaks for itself. We would be happy to
supply a list of our present clients as references.
Our attorney says that our company should be a Non-Resident Importer? What do you recommend?
We prefer to make
recommendations based on the specific profile of your business and of your customers.
Usually, clients selling to Canadian consumers have the consumer act as the Importer
of Record. This allows them to take advantage of various casual importation regulations
that are not available to you as an NRI. We generally explore with you the advantages
of doing business both ways, allowing you make an informed decision based on what's
best for your business and for your customers.
Is there a limit to the size of packages/items canadaplus.com can handle?
No. We regularly
handle everything from CD's to canoes. If your item exceeds standard courier-
style delivery limitations, we can arrange for an LTL carrier to deliver the order.
What is your service going to cost us?
Our prices depend
on the number of packages you ship to Canada annually,
and on the level of service you require. In all cases, however, using canadaplus.com
from the US to Canada will be less expensive than using an 'international' courier
method.
