COVID19 UPDATE: Regular Business Operations Continue. Updates will be provided if disruptions occur.

With a primary business model that is focused on international shipments, it might seem strange to hear that some clients simply want their items destroyed. And yet, this is a reality for a portion of ShipByMail customers: they need items returned from a buyer but prefer not to invest in the additional costs of a return international shipment.

There are a number of scenarios where businesses prefer to have their goods disposed of rather than returned:

Whatever your reasons for wanting an item disposed of, they are not uncommon. Many individuals or businesses simply don’t want the hassle of dealing with unwanted merchandise, which carries its own price tag and complications. At ShipByMail, we can handle this for you and save you the burden of paying shipping fees or receiving unwanted items.

Price
The ShipByMail fee for package disposal is $5 CDN. That’s right. We charge $5 to dispose of any package, regardless of the number of individual items inside. We keep this fee at an affordable rate for a reason: to save you money. For preferred rates on regular or volume disposals, please contact our Client Services team to learn more.

Terms & Method of Disposal
Upon receipt of the package, we are required to check the contents. This ensures that we are disposing the correct items and also that they are items authorized for disposal (please see restrictions for more details). Upon package confirmation, the items will be disposed of immediately; either destroyed or recycled and documented.

Restrictions
We do need to state the obvious here when it comes to package disposal: it is prohibited to send illegal or items associated with criminal activity to ShipByMail. We will not be able to dispose of weapons, dangerous substances or any items associated with criminal activity. Please see our Terms & Conditions for more details.
