Founded in 1985, FB Canada Express is among the oldest providers in this directory, operating as a neutral wholesale logistics company for more than 40 years with its original founders still involved. Nicholas Timmins was appointed President and CEO in March 2025, the company's first leadership transition. It runs three Canadian sites: a head office at 970 Verbena Rd in Mississauga, Ontario, plus warehouses in Dorval, Quebec and Richmond, BC. The company is IATA, Transport Canada, CCLA, and PIP certified and partnered with CBSA for customs clearance, so its strengths are air freight, Canadian customs handling, and cross-border ecommerce logistics rather than marketplace prep. Services include warehousing and fulfillment, time-critical shipping, kitting and assembly, real-time order tracking, and integrations with Shopify, Amazon, Lightspeed, and Squarespace. Pricing is by custom quote. With a 3.1 Google rating across 65 reviews, it fits importers and wholesale brands moving goods into and across Canada.
