MesColis vs Stallion Express
Stallion Express and MesColis solve different problems. Stallion is a consolidator: you drop parcels at one of its branches and it batches them, mostly to the US. MesColis is an aggregator: it compares carriers that pick up directly from you. Here is how they compare in 2026.
Stallion Express is a Canadian consolidator with a branch network, strong for ecommerce and cross-border shipping to the United States.

Stallion is a great choice if you are an online store, especially in Ontario, shipping lots of small parcels to the US, and you can drop off at one of its branches to access very competitive cross-border rates.
MesColis wins the moment you ship a mix of weights and destinations (not just the US), want direct carrier pickup with no physical drop-off, or need Canada Post, UPS and FedEx compared on one screen, in French and English, with BYOA.
Frequently asked questions
For small parcels to the US with branch drop-off, Stallion. For a mix of weights and destinations with direct carrier pickup and a bilingual interface, MesColis. Some businesses use both.
No. With MesColis, the carrier picks up directly from you (or you drop off if you prefer). No consolidation branch required.
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.
