Running e-commerce fulfillment from a Canadian warehouse isn't about finding the cheapest square footage. It's about dock-to-stock timelines, drayage window coordination with Port of Montreal, cross-dock cutoffs that don't slip, and a 3PL that knows the difference between a PARS release and a RMD. Most small importers don't.
Q4 capacity crunches don't surprise anyone — they're predictable. What kills most importers is starting capacity planning in September instead of June. Dock doors, drayage windows, racking density, and CBSA examination holds all compress at the same time, and there's no fix once you're in it.
Most importers pick a freight forwarder based on address. That's the wrong criterion. What matters is whether they can coordinate PARS releases with your warehouse, manage drayage windows at Port of Montreal, and clear your CAD before your dock-to-stock window closes. Being ten minutes away means nothing if they're sending your paperwork three hours late.
