Some Amazon.com items are mailed to Canada, but I've designed a process to get any Amazon.com order delivered to Canada with no hassle.

It includes employing a package forwarder, a US-based warehouse that will receive your Amazon.com order and forward it to you in Canada.

Here's a step-by-step breakdown of the procedure.

How To Get Amazon.com Orders Shipped To Canada

Shipping items from Amazon.com in the US to Canada is easy with the help of a package forwarding service. Here are the key steps:

1. Choose a Package Forwarder

Select a package forwarder service that ships to Canada. Important factors to consider when choosing one include:

  • Service fees
  • Monthly/annual fees
  • Pricing transparency
  • Processing speed
  • Customer service

Compare a few options to find the best service for your needs and budget.

2. Ship Your Order to the Package Forwarder

When placing your Amazon order, input the address provided by your package forwarder as the shipping address. This will ship your items to their warehouse.

3. Forward Your Package

Once your order arrives at the warehouse, the package forwarder will notify you and provide shipping options to Canada. Select your preferred method based on delivery time and cost.

Costs: Customs & Duties

Thanks to the USMCA trade agreement, Canadians can import up to $150 USD worth of goods from the US duty-free. So you likely won't owe any customs fees, making Amazon.com orders affordable to ship to Canada.

If your order value exceeds $150 CAD, you may be charged additional customs duties as follows:

Conclusion

Shipping Amazon orders from the US to Canada is easy with a package forwarder service. Just select a provider, ship to their warehouse address, and they'll handle the international shipping. Duty-free thresholds also help keep costs low.
