When it comes to Canada to the US shipping, have you ever faced these headaches?

🔸 Too many courier options—no idea which one is the cheapest?
🔸 Shipping platforms are expensive, but you can’t use your own courier account?
🔸 Your customer already provided a shipping label, but the logistics company won’t accept it? 

No worries! In just 3 minutes, we’ll help you understand one of the hottest terms in the Canada-US cross-border shipping today: BYOL (Bring Your Own Label) — and how it can help you significantly lower the shipping costs. 

 

💡What is BYOL? 

BYOL stands for Bring Your Own Label. 

In simple terms, it means you or your customer prepare the shipping label in advance (from UPS, USPS, etc.),
and then a third-party logistics provider (like Dino-Express) helps with pickup, packing, and shipping. 

This method is ideal for: 

  • ✅Amazon sellers 
  • Businesses with courier accounts and discounted rates 
  • Customers who already provide a label and just need fulfillment 
  • Sellers who want flexibility to choose the most cost-effective courier for each shipment 

 

🧮 How Does BYOL Help You Save Money? 

  1. Use Contract Rates
    If you or your customer have contract rates with FedEx or UPS, BYOL lets you avoid high retail prices. 
  1. Avoid Platform Markups
    Many online shipping platforms add hidden markups. With BYOL, you bypass these extra fees. 
  1. Flexible Courier Selection
    Choose the best carrier for each parcel based on size and weight—no need to stick with just one option. 

 

📦 Which Companies Support BYOL? 

Not all logistics providers accept BYOL, so choosing the right partner is key.
Dino-Express is one of the few that fully supports BYOL, offering: 

  • Multi-carrier label support (UPS, USPS, etc.) 
  • Value-added services: address verification, packing assistance, tracking updates 
  • For Amazon sellers, Account Health protection 

 

Final Thoughts: BYOL = Smarter, Cheaper Shipping 

In today’s competitive world of cross-border eCommerce, leveraging BYOL isn’t just about saving money—
it’s about gaining flexibility, control, and efficiency in your logistics strategy. 

So next time your customer sends you a shipping label, don’t ask,
“Can I even ship this?”
Find a BYOL-friendly logistics partner, and ship it out hassle-free!
