Buying for a kitchen in Ontario
Most of Ontario's population lives in the south, where freight carriers run regular routes along corridors such as Highway 401 between Windsor and the Quebec border.
Northern Ontario covers most of the province's land area but holds a small share of its people, and freight service thins out with distance from the south. Wherever the address is, a liftgate or delivery appointment has to be arranged with Norpex before paying.
Norpex is based in Waterloo, Ontario, and is fully online, with no showroom or pickup counter; equipment ships from distributor warehouses.
Distance from Norpex
Toronto, the capital, is about 90 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 Ontario
