How to Send a Parcel Using Our International Shipping Service

Simply come to our location at 1750 Steeles Ave W, Unit 12, Concord, ON L4K 2L7 (click here to get Google Maps directions) with you contents. You don't even have to package your parcel. We will help you with that.
If you'd like to learn more about how we calculate shipping costs, how to package your parcel properly, our parcel insurance, or prohibited items, read below.

International Shipping Cost

International shipping costs to send a parcel range from $5 to over $100, depending on:
  • The country you're sending to. For example, it's cheaper to send a package to Ukraine compared to other countries.
  • The region within Canada you're sending from. Meest Concord is located in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), which has the cheapest rates in Canada.
  • The shipping method. If shipping by air, it will be delivered faster, but it will be a few dollars extra compared to sea shipments.
  • Additional insurance you'd like to purchase, if any. By default, all parcels are insured for up to $60. The maximum additional insurance for parcels is $800.
  • The weight of the parcel. The minimum weight we charge for is 5 kg (11 lbs). The maximum weight allowed is 30 kg (66 lbs) to most countries. Even if your parcel weighs less than 5 kg, the shipping cost is still based on 5 kg. The only exception to this rule are small packages and letters for less than the standard 5 kg minimum charge to some countries.
  • The volume of the parcel. The maximum length of any side of the package should not exceed 1.05 m (41 in). For air freight, sometimes what determines the delivery cost is the space your package takes, not the actual weight. This is called the dimensional weight. The greater of actual weight vs dimensional weight is used to determine the shipping cost for parcels travelling by air. Whereas, when shipping by sea, only the actual weight is considered. Here's the dimensional weight formula:

How to Package a Parcel When Using Our International Shipping Service

If you need help packaging your parcel or you have fragile items, don't hesitate to contact us at (905) 482-3142 or support@meestconcord.ca. You can also simply bring your contents unpackaged to our location and we will help you package your shipment properly.

We are located at 1750 Steeles Ave W, Unit 12, Concord, ON L4K 2L7 (click here to get Google Maps directions).

When sending a parcel through our international shipping service, all parcels must be packed securely, ideally in a cardboard box. The recipient's and sender's full names and addresses must be written on two sides of the parcel.
A Customs declaration form is necessary with each parcel. We help you fill it out and require your signature. The recipient must be an actual person residing at the written address. Parcels addressed to fictitious recipients will be confiscated by Customs of the recipient's country. We do not have control over decisions regarding which parcels get confiscated by Customs, nor are we responsible for those decisions.
The maximum length of any side of the package should not exceed 1.05 m (41 in).
The maximum weight allowed is 30 kg (66 lbs) to most countries.

Parcel Insurance

Insurance covers a lost, stolen or undelivered parcel only. Neither the insurance nor Meest-Concord or Meest Corporation cover damage to the contents of the parcel.
All parcels are automatically insured for $60. You can choose to purchase additional insurance. The maximum additional insurance for parcels is $800. Not all packages can be insured for an additional amount. Additional insurance availability is dependent on the value of the contents being sent. You must coordinate larger insurance amounts with the Meest Corporation - head office.
To opt for $60 insurance and waive any additional insurance, on the form, you will need to put your signature in the column "For sender: sign here to waive additional insurance and accept $60 limited liability".
To opt for additional insurance, in the "insurance" column on the form, you will need to indicate the additional insurance amount. In some cases, parcels that are insured for over $500 may be opened and examined by us to determine the value of the contents.

I initially wrote a review about medical aid not being accept and an employee giving my husband a hard time and being rude. Turns out it was the wrong location, he went to "Meest North" in Richmond Hill. Thank you for getting back to me and letting me know that this location accepts donations that we've worked so hard to collect for Ukraine! Also, my dad uses this location to send money to my grandma, he only ever day great things to say! Cheers!

I've been using this company for sending packages and money for over 10 years, and I have never had an issue or a problem that wouldn't be resolved quickly to my satisfaction. I find the lady working there (Concord location) very knowledgeable, efficient and helpful. Larysa genuinely seems to care to find the best option for a customer to send parcels or money. Always quick and competent service. Thank you.Natalia A.

Will leave my review as well. I am sending usually my parcels to Moldova to my parents and the first time it was fine but the last time I have sent it somehow did not reach them at all. When I have called the company , I was told that as a matter of fact they deliver only till Ukraine and then give the parcel to Moldova Post as a usual parcel . After that they do not take any responsibility for any problems with delivery. I thought that they were delivering from start to finish but it was not so . Also , paid for home delivery which also did not happen.
