International Shipping in Montreal

Montreal Aerial View

Every cross-border shipment that leaves Montreal carries something that matters, whether it is a tray of biological specimens bound for a partner lab or a pallet of medical devices headed across the Atlantic. Near the Old Port, where the city's trade roots run deep, life science teams need a partner who treats each box like it is the only one moving that day. That is the standard we hold for international shipping in Montreal. Since 1984, Mercury has guided healthcare and life sciences companies through borders, customs paperwork, and temperature requirements with individual attention at every stage. We track shipments not only by their last scan but by where they should be, so a sample leaving Montreal arrives ready for the work that depends on it.

Why Montreal Life Sciences Teams Choose Mercury

Montreal sits at the heart of one of North America's strongest biotech corridors, and shipping out of it means working with all major airlines, customs authorities, and temperature controls in one coordinated motion. Mercury handles that complexity so your team can stay focused on research. Our international shipping in Montreal covers parcels, freight, and same-day courier needs, backed by healthcare-specific customs brokerage that knows the documentation each country expects. We move biologics, diagnostics, pharmaceuticals, and devices at refrigerated, frozen, or cryogenic temperatures, with proactive monitoring that catches delays early. If you also need same-day support, our courier service in Montreal and cold chain logistics in Montreal connect seamlessly to your global lanes. You get one dedicated team, real visibility, and rates that often match or beat what you pay now.

Common Questions About International Shipping

What does it cost, and can you share pricing?

Most customers pay the same or less than before. For courier, NFO, cold chain, and freight, our rates stay highly competitive. For parcel shipping, our partnerships and volume secure discounts we pass to you, which also fund proactive tracking and dedicated support. Reach out and our team will gladly walk you through pricing.

Do I lose control by using Mercury for parcel shipping?

You gain more of it. Our technology, integrations, and decades of experience give you real-time visibility and hands-on management of every shipment. We watch where packages were last scanned and where they were supposed to be, then keep you posted at each step. Customers value knowing we monitor their freight so they do not have to.

Do you cover all regions, or specialize in certain ones?

We are a global shipping company and can pick up or deliver anywhere in the world, at any size or temperature. Some providers focus on one region, but because we work with every major airline, we deliver consistent service worldwide rather than limiting ourselves to a single area.

Do you offer packaging, dry ice, or phase change materials?

Yes. We supply packaging solutions that include dry ice and PCMs. Our couriers can bring these materials when collecting your shipment, or we can send them to your location ahead of pickup so you are ready when the time comes.

What types of shipments does Mercury handle for healthcare companies?

We manage the full range of healthcare and life sciences freight: pharmaceuticals, clinical trial materials, specimens and diagnostics, biologics, medical devices, and any temperature-sensitive product needing refrigerated, frozen, or cryogenic handling. From urgent same-day runs to cold chain deliveries and routine freight, we carry the documentation and chain of custody your work depends on.

How does Mercury keep shipments arriving safely?

Our team monitors every shipment from pickup through delivery, checking not just the last scan but whether it sits where it should at each stage. For temperature-sensitive freight, we add cold chain monitoring, flag delays before they grow, and step in to keep things moving. Updates reach you along the way, so the status is always clear.
