Buying for a kitchen in Nunavut
Nunavut has no road connection to the rest of Canada, so freight moves by air or by seasonal sealift.
Sealift ships sail in the summer and early fall open-water season, and booking deadlines fall months earlier, so large equipment needs planning well in advance.
Air freight is practical for smaller items, while ranges, refrigeration and other heavy equipment usually go by sealift.
Distance from Norpex
Iqaluit, the capital, is about 2,380 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 Nunavut
General points about freight across Northern Canada. The rate itself always comes from the carrier for the exact address.
- Fewer carriers serve remote northern communities, and some deliveries go to a carrier terminal for collection rather than to the door.
- Some communities have no year-round road connection and are supplied by air, winter road or seasonal sealift, which limits what can be shipped and when. Ask for a quote early for large equipment.
