Signup is free. You pay for your shipments with a transparent markup shown on each rate.
It depends on the parcel and the lane, not the platform. Both show negotiated rates, and the winner changes with weight, dimensions, destination and service. That is exactly why MesColis shows rates side by side rather than picking one for you: the only price that matters is the one for YOUR parcel, today.
Yes, with MesColis: that is BYOA (bring your own account). If you have already negotiated a rate with Canada Post, UPS, FedEx or Canpar, you connect that account and keep your rate while using the platform for labels, tracking and returns.
Yes: HS codes, customs forms, duty estimation and an AI-assisted customs scan for international and cross-border shipments. You can also prepay duties (DDP) so your customer gets no surprise bill on delivery.
With MesColis, yes: the interface, emails, tracking pages and support are fully bilingual FR/EN. For a Quebec business that has to serve its customers in French, that is not a detail: it is the difference between a tool you adopt and one you put up with.
