GEODIS announced it has expanded its GEODIS MyParcel product, the company’s direct-to-customer cross-border delivery offering, with a new Air Zone Skip Service from the U.S. to Canada. First launched in 2020, GEODIS MyParcel is a small parcel delivery service from the U.S. to 26 European continental countries, the UK and Canada. GEODIS MyParcel’s new Air Zone Skip Service is now available and will provide U.S. retail shippers with a faster and more streamlined method to ship into Canada, with the goal of continuing to expand this capability into new geographic regions in the future.

GEODIS MyParcel’s Air Zone Skip Service offers an efficient method to transport small parcels from the U.S. to Canada by consolidating individual shipments via air transport with final delivery to the end consumer, bypassing multiple touchpoints. The service includes full end-to-end tracking visibility and management over the entire shipping process from pick up to customs clearance through last-mile delivery. The GEODIS MyParcel Air Zone Skip service now serves the Canadian provinces of Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, Ontario Prince Edward Island, Quebec and Saskatchewan.

“Zone skipping can be an extremely beneficial strategy for high-volume e-Commerce shippers who are looking to increase operational efficiencies, lower shipping costs per package and reduce transit times,” said Michael Lamia, Senior Vice President of GEODIS MyParcel and GEODIS eLogistics. “As e-Commerce shippers continue to navigate consumer expectations for faster speeds, it is vital to work with a trusted logistics partner with a full breadth of expertise across air, ocean, road and last mile—including alternative shipping methods like zone skipping—to remain competitive in today’s dynamic market.”
