About Shipping in Victoria
Victoria, British Columbia is the provincial capital, located on the southern tip of Vancouver Island. Vehicle access requires ferry transport from the mainland, adding a unique logistical dimension to auto shipping. The city's mild climate and scenic beauty attract significant vehicle import demand.
All vehicle shipments require BC Ferries crossing from Tsawwassen or Horseshoe Bay on the mainland. Ferry reservations are essential during peak summer months and holiday periods. Once on the island, Highway 1 and Highway 17 provide straightforward access to Victoria and surrounding communities.

Pallet Shipping FAQ — Victoria
Common questions about shipping pallets in the Victoria area.
How much does pallet shipping cost?
Pallet shipping costs typically range from $150 to $800 per pallet depending on weight, dimensions, distance, and freight class. Single-pallet LTL shipments on shorter routes start around $150-$300, while heavier or longer-distance shipments can run $500-$800. Full truckload rates are quoted based on mileage and capacity.
How long does pallet shipping take?
Transit times depend on distance and service level. Regional LTL shipments (under 500 miles) typically take 1-3 business days, mid-range routes average 3-5 business days, and cross-country freight usually takes 5-7 business days. Expedited and guaranteed delivery options are available.
What can I ship on a pallet?
Almost anything that can be safely palletized — auto parts, engines, equipment, building materials, furniture, appliances, machinery, and more. Items must be properly secured to the pallet with stretch wrap, banding, or crating. We can help with custom crating for odd-shaped items.
Do I need a loading dock for pickup or delivery?
No. We offer liftgate service for locations without a loading dock, including residential addresses. Liftgate delivery allows the driver to lower your pallet to ground level. Inside delivery and appointment scheduling are also available.
Is my freight insured during shipping?
Yes, every pallet shipment includes standard cargo insurance based on the declared value. We recommend documenting your shipment's contents and condition with photos before pickup. Additional full-value coverage is available for high-value freight.
