Shop Makers × Chit Chats: Simplifying Shipping for Canadian Small Businesses

Selling your products through Shop Makers? We’re here to help grow your business and take your products beyond Canada!

We’re excited to announce our partnership with Shop Makers, giving their community of local Canadian businesses access to Chit Chats as a shipping solution!

Whether you’re sending shipments to your customers across Canada or your first order to a U.S. customer, Chit Chats is here to make shipping more accessible, affordable, and easier to navigate!

Making Shipping Across Canada More Affordable

Canada is the second-largest country in the world, and with communities spread across such a vast area, shipping costs can add up quickly, especially when you’re sending an order to the other side of the country or to a rural or remote area.

We get it. Shipping shouldn’t have to eat into your margins. That’s why at Chit Chats, we’re on a mission to help Canadians and small businesses ship more and spend less!

Through our partnerships with local Canadian couriers, you can access Chit Chats Select, giving you coverage to more than 90% of Canada at a low cost.

And that’s not all! We’ve also partnered with Canada Post to offer Chit Chats Canada Tracked and Chit Chats Slim. These services give you access to the Canada Post network while helping keep your postage costs down.

We know seeing is believing, so why not compare for yourself? Check out some real price comparisons between Chit Chats and Canada’s national carrier!

Expand your market to the U.S. and Ship for less!

With around 342 million people in the U.S. compared to Canada’s roughly 41 million, your next big customer could be just across the border!

Thinking about expanding into the U.S. but worried about shipping costs, tariffs, and the complexities of cross-border shipping? Well…we offer a variety of low-cost postage options to the U.S., helping you reach more customers!

And when it comes to tariffs, we offer certification for the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA), which allows eligible products to enter the U.S. at reduced or even zero customs duties!

So whether you’re ready to make your first U.S. sale or you’re already shipping south of the border, Chit Chats can help you ship smarter, spend less, and grow your business beyond Canada.
