Buying for a kitchen in Alberta
Much of Alberta's freight moves along the Highway 2 corridor that links Calgary, Red Deer and Edmonton.
Addresses in the north, such as Fort McMurray or Grande Prairie, sit well away from that corridor. Wherever the address is, a liftgate or delivery appointment has to be arranged with Norpex before paying.
In deep winter cold, check the manufacturer's start-up instructions before powering up equipment that arrived frozen, particularly refrigeration and anything with electronic controls.
Distance from Norpex
Edmonton, the capital, is about 2,640 km from Norpex's base in Waterloo, in a straight line.
Equipment ships from distributor warehouses rather than from Waterloo, so that figure is a sense of scale, not the distance your freight travels. The charge comes from live carrier rates for your address.
Freight to Alberta
General points about freight across the Prairies. The rate itself always comes from the carrier for the exact address.
- Distances between centres are long, so a rural or small-town address can be served from a regional terminal or by a partner carrier for the final leg.
- Winter weather can close or slow highways across the region. Leave room in an opening schedule for freight that is held for the weather.
