What sets us apart.
No marketplace middlemen, no surge pricing, no IVR. Every run is dispatched by a real ops team from our Markham hub.
No marketplace.
Every order is dispatched directly by the 1Courier ops team. No algorithm lottery, no gig aggregator. We know our drivers by name and they know our routes.
No surge pricing.
The first 10 km and first pound are always free. Distance and weight after that — that's the only pricing variable. No fuel surcharges, no zone fees, no peak multipliers.
Humans answer the phone.
Markham team available Mon–Fri 7:30 AM – 7 PM, weekends 10 AM – 5 PM. Call 416 855 7425, reach a person. No IVR, no ticket queue, no chatbot.
Certifications & insurance.
Every driver is vetted before their first dispatch. Business customers get a signed data agreement covering Rx privacy workflows and PHIPA compliance.
CAD $100 Liability Cap
Standard liability is $100 CAD per shipment. Sending something higher-value? Arrange third-party insurance before dispatch — we can recommend providers.
