Buying for a kitchen in Ottawa
The ByWard Market and the downtown core have busy streets and little room for trucks, so book a delivery appointment for heavy equipment.
Large equipment is priced by a person on a quote, with freight included, so government, hospital and university buyers have the price before they order.
Gatineau is directly across the Ottawa River in Quebec, so a business with kitchens on both sides deals with a different health authority on each side.
Before you buy, check equipment requirements with Ottawa Public Health.
Distance from Norpex
Ottawa is about 440 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 Ottawa
General points about freight across Ontario. The rate itself always comes from the carrier for the exact address.
- Downtown cores often have no loading dock and limited loading zones. Say so when you order, so a liftgate or a delivery appointment can be arranged before the truck arrives.
- Northern Ontario addresses can be a long way from the nearest carrier terminal, and some fly-in communities in the far north are reached only by air or winter road.
