Hitchmail is approximately half the price of other parcel shipping companies. This is because our business model has much lower overhead and we pass this savings onto our customers. Our rates start at $5.99 for parcels under 150 cubic inches in volume and our most expensive rate is $18.99 for large parcels.

Watch your parcel traveling in real time (just like calling an Uber). All our vehicles and drivers are equipped with GPS transmitters and this data is continually sent to the tracking system.

Hitchmail currently operates between Calgary and Edmonton. We are in the process of adding more cities and routes so stay tuned.

Hitchmail drivers go through an on boarding process that includes background checks and in-person training. Once approved, these drivers use their personal vehicle to tow trailers and earn cash during their personal trips.

Yes, we use advanced technology so that you never need to print another shipping label. All the address, contact and payment information is entered into the app resulting in a unique reference number which you write on the parcel along with your phone number. When you use the app to upload a picture of the hand written reference number, this works as a digital signature. Our sorting machines use “optical character recognition” to apply a fully detailed shipping label at the terminal.

The app contains a list of authorized dealers and deposit box locations where parcels can be picked up and dropped off. There is several in each city where Hitchmail operates.

Hitchmail does not deliver to your door but instead licenses local businesses to be authorized Hitchmail locations where you can pick up your parcel. Once the parcel arrives, you will be sent a text notification and a PIN code to claim it.

Yes. Hitchmail greatly reduces the carbon footprint of parcel shipping because we use the towing capacity of private vehicles that are already making trips. This eliminates the need for a large number of semi trucks and their corresponding carbon emissions. It’s a big win for the environment, the Hitchmail drivers and your pocketbook.
