How your quote is calculated

No surprises. Every same-day quote is built from four simple parts — your service speed, a distance fee only when a run is out of town or unusually long, optional extra coverage, and GST. These figures are pulled live from our current rates.

The whole quote, at a glance

Your total is the sum of these, with 5% GST applied at the end:

Service price+ Out-of-town fee+ Distance surcharge+ Declared-value coverage +5% GST =Your total

The out-of-town fee, distance surcharge and declared-value coverage are $0 for most local deliveries — so a typical in-town quote is just the service price plus GST.

1Service price

Pick how fast you need it. Flat rates — the price is the same anywhere across Edmonton, St. Albert, Sherwood Park, Beaumont, Nisku, Devon, and Leduc.

ServiceDelivered withinCarVan
Standard7 hours Early bird 8–10 AM$10.00$40.00
Regular4 hours$18.00$55.00
Rush2 hours$28.00$65.00
ASAP1 hour$55.00$90.00

Prices shown are standard rates. Business accounts pay lower corporate rates (for example, an ASAP car run is $49.00 instead of $55.00) — these appear as the "Corp rate" on the booking page. Open a business account →

🌙 After hours (overnight): we run 24/7. The four tiers above are our daytime menu (8 AM–8 PM Mountain). Between 8pm–8am choose Rush (within 2 hours) at a flat $39 by car / $69 by van, or ASAP (within 1 hour) at a flat $59 by car / $99 by van. Out-of-town distance and declared-value coverage still apply on top, and the flat rates are the same for business accounts.

2Out-of-town fee

We deliver flat-rate across our core cities: Edmonton, St. Albert, Sherwood Park, Beaumont, Nisku, Devon and Leduc. When a pickup or dropoff falls outside those — anywhere in the surrounding metro like Spruce Grove or Fort Saskatchewan — an out-of-town fee covers the extra drive.

The formula: a $35.00 base covers the first 30 km of driving, then $1.25 per km beyond that.
Out‑of‑town fee = $35.00 + $1.25 × (driving km − 30, never below 0)
Driving distancePast the first 30 kmOut-of-town fee
Up to 30 km$35.00
35 km5 km$41.25
40 km10 km$47.50
50 km20 km$60.00
60 km30 km$72.50
Long in-zone runs: flat rates cover the first 25 km of driving between your two addresses. Beyond that, an in-zone run adds $1.10 per km for the extra distance only — e.g. a 32 km run adds $7.70. It never stacks with the out-of-town fee: a delivery pays one or the other.

Good to know: the out-of-town fee is calculated once per delivery and is the same across every service speed. It is not discounted on business accounts, and distance is the actual driving route between your two addresses.

3Declared-value coverage

Every delivery includes $50 of coverage at no charge. Carrying something worth more? Declare its value and we add coverage in brackets.

Declared valueAdded coverage fee
Up to $5,000.00 included$35.00
$0.00 – $50.00$0.00
$50.01 – $500.00$5.00
$500.01 – $2,000.00$15.00

$5,000.00 is the maximum declared value. Leave it at $0 to use the included $50 coverage.

4GST & your total

We add 5% GST to the subtotal (service price + out-of-town fee + distance surcharge + declared-value coverage). That's your total.

Subtotal+ 5% GST= Total you pay
