SPECIAL NOTE for LG2 Service Areas (Nunavik, QC)

For flight-only areas serviced by Air Inuit, shipping costs are calculated individually based on the specific community and current flight rates. We encourage you to contact us for a shipping estimate, as certain locations can be more expensive to service.

To help keep costs reasonable, we are happy to consolidate your packages. Simply wait to pay your invoice until all of your items have arrived and been processed. We will automatically repackage them together before finalizing your shipment.

Though our Ship North shipping fees are very reasonable, the base fees for shipping through Air Inuit can be pricey. We always encourage our customers to place multiple orders to reach up to 12lb to make the most of this base fee.

We're 30–60% cheaper than competitors.

Our Story

Ship North began in 2019 with a simple goal: to make shipping to Northern Quebec fair, affordable, and reliable.

The idea sparked while we were in Eastmain, helping run a community event. We saw firsthand the need for reasonably priced shipping—and we knew we could help.

When COVID hit, we adapted quickly, delivering groceries when they were hardest to access. For us, supporting communities has always come first.

Our roots go back more than 25 years of working alongside First Nation communities through events and programs. These experiences built strong relationships and gave us a deep understanding of the unique challenges of living in remote areas.

One challenge stood out above all: shipping. Too often, retailers refused to ship to the north—or charged extreme fees. Ship North was created to change that.

Today, we're proud to provide:

  • The lowest possible shipping prices
  • Monthly truckloads delivered right to your door
  • A service built for communities, not corporations

Because Ship North isn't just about packages—it's about connection.
