If you had to deliver 100's or even 1000's of small packages to homes and businesses across Hamilton, how would you do it? (Affordably.) Talking between .5lb - 5lb each package.

Puralotor has it's home base at Hamilton Airport so you be supporting Hamilton. There's also FedEx (base in Burlington).

Hm, I'll check 'em out. Thanks!

Yeah, we're seeing what it costs to do Purolator/FedEx/UPS, but they're all a little on the expensive side, and we'd rather support a local company if possible.

Do is yourself. Rent a cube van, get some friends together, ply them with coffee to start and beer at the finish.

Really depends on how dispersed the deliveries will be in the City. I know it's not 100% comparable, but we deliver approx. 1,200 newsletters door-to-door in our neighbourhood in about 80 to 105 minutes with 9 to 12 volunteers.
