SURIGOR Canada DDP Air Freight | Express Delivery vs Truck Delivery | Door-to-Door
SURIGOR Canada DDP Air Freight: Express Delivery vs. Truck Delivery—Which Fits Your Needs? When shipping from China to Canada under DDP terms, the final leg of the journey—the last-mile delivery—is just as critical as the air freight itself. At SURIGOR, with over 9 years of experience in the China-Canada trade lane, we offer two distinct final-mile options: Express Delivery and Truck Delivery.
Both options are fully DDP, meaning we handle customs clearance, duties, GST/HST, and delivery. Your choice depends on your cargo profile, destination, and timeline.
Option 1: Express Delivery
Our Express Delivery option leverages the networks of premier global couriers—UPS and FedEx—for the final mile.
Ideal For:
- Small to medium-sized parcels
- Residential and commercial addresses

- Speed: Delivery is typically completed within 1-2 business days after customs clearance

Option 2: Truck Delivery
Our Truck Delivery option utilizes dedicated LTL (Less Than Truckload) or FTL (Full Truckload) carriers for the final mile.
Ideal For:
- Large, heavy, or palletized shipments
- Commercial warehouses and industrial sites
- Shipments exceeding courier weight/size limits (typically >70kg per piece)
