3PL & Contract Warehousing in Calgary

LTL (less-than-truckload) shipping moves freight that does not fill a whole trailer. Your pallets share the truck with freight from other shippers and you pay only for the space you use, which makes it a cost-effective option for small and medium shipments.

LTL suits shipments of a few pallets that do not need a dedicated truck. If your freight fills most of a trailer, is time-sensitive, or should not be handled in transit, full truckload (FTL) is usually the better fit. Our team can advise on each shipment.

Send us the pickup and delivery locations, the number of pallets, and their dimensions and weight through the Get an Estimate form or by phone. We will reply with a quote tailored to your shipment.

A 3PL (third-party logistics provider) stores, manages and ships your products on your behalf. Outsourcing to a 3PL lets you lower carrying costs, adjust capacity as demand shifts, and concentrate on running your business.

With contract warehousing you have dedicated storage space, inventory management and handling set out in your contract. With multi-client warehousing you share space and resources with other businesses, which suits inventory levels that rise and fall.

Look at warehouse capacity, the shipping and warehousing options offered, experience, references, financial stability and the technology platform. We are happy to walk you through how FMi Logistics meets each of these.

A freight broker acts as the intermediary between a shipper and a carrier. The broker finds a qualified carrier for the load, negotiates the rate, and manages the logistics of the shipment on the shipper’s behalf.

A broker already has the carrier network and the market knowledge, so you spend less time searching for trucks and comparing rates. You deal with one contact, and the broker handles the coordination.

Tell us what you are shipping, where it is going and when. We identify the best carrier for the freight, confirm the rate with you, and manage the shipment through to delivery.

We offer multi-client warehousing, contract (3PL) warehousing, warehousing and distribution, project logistics, and ecommerce and web order fulfillment.

Yes. Our warehousing is scalable, from short-term and seasonal storage to long-term arrangements, so the space you use can change as your inventory does.

Our inventory management system provides real-time tracking and reporting, so you can see what is in stock and what has shipped at any time.

Storage, inventory management and control, order processing, pick and pack, kitting, cross-docking, retail staging and distribution, final mile delivery, and returns management.

Cross-docking moves incoming freight straight from the receiving dock to outbound trucks with little or no storage in between. It is useful when goods are already allocated to orders and need to keep moving.

Yes. Our services include retail staging and retail distribution, and we prepare shipments to meet each retailer’s requirements.

Order processing, inventory management, picking, packing, shipping and returns. We build the process around your products and sales channels.

Yes. Our fulfillment is scalable, so we can accommodate seasonal peaks and growing order volumes without you adding space or staff.

Yes. We stage goods for retailers such as Canadian Tire, Walmart and Costco, making sure products are labelled, packaged and prepared to each retailer’s requirements.

A freight forwarder arranges the movement of goods between countries on your behalf: booking space with carriers, preparing documentation, arranging customs clearance, and tracking the shipment to delivery.

Air freight is faster and suits urgent or high-value goods. Ocean freight takes longer but costs less for large or heavy shipments. We can quote both so you can compare.

Yes. Customs clearance and documentation are part of both our ocean freight and air freight services.

FCL (full container load) means your goods fill a container of their own. LCL (less than container load) means your goods share a container with other shipments, so you pay only for the space you use.

Stuffing, de-stuffing and transloading of containers, drayage, crating, and specialised equipment such as reefers, open top containers and flat racks.

We do. Our team prepares and manages the portside documentation so your shipment clears without delays.

Freight management is the planning, booking and oversight of your shipments by a logistics partner, so you have one point of contact for carriers, tracking and delivery.

Ground freight (LTL and FTL), air freight, ocean freight, rail, and intermodal combinations of these.

Yes. We handle ground freight across Canada and North America as well as global air and ocean freight forwarding.

FTL (full truckload) shipping dedicates an entire truck to one shipment. The freight is loaded once and travels directly to its destination.

Choose FTL when your freight fills most of a trailer, when delivery is time-sensitive, or when you want the goods to stay on one truck from pickup to delivery.

Send us the pickup and delivery locations, what you are shipping, and your timing through the Get an Estimate form or by phone, and we will reply with a tailored quote.

Transloading is the transfer of freight from one mode of transport to another, for example from an ocean container to a truck trailer, so it can continue to its destination.

Freight moves on to its next mode of transport without being put into storage first, which removes unnecessary warehousing costs and shortens transit time.

Cargo handling, documentation and real-time tracking, from the arrival of the container to the departure of the outbound load.

Anything from small parcels and urgent documents to larger cargo. Tell us what you are shipping and we will confirm the best option.

Air freight is the right choice when speed matters most: urgent orders, time-sensitive goods, or shipments on a tight schedule.

Documentation, coordination with the airline, and tracking from origin to destination.

White glove delivery is a premium service in which trained personnel handle your items with extra care, bring them inside, place them where you want them, and clear away the packaging.

Standard delivery ends at the dock or the door. Inside delivery brings the item into the building and to the spot you choose.

Delicate and valuable items that need careful handling and precise placement in an office, store or home.

The pickup and delivery locations, what you are shipping, the number of pallets or pieces with their dimensions and weight, and when it needs to move. For warehousing, tell us what you need stored, roughly how much, and for how long.
