Richmond’s UniUni recently announced the launch of UniUni Small Business, a new system of local drop-off and service points designed to “simplify and supercharge” shipping for Canadian e-commerce merchants.
The platform promises an end-to-end shipping experience that’s fast, affordable, and easy, featuring both staffed UniUni Stores, where users can print labels and drop off packages, and automated UniUni Points for anytime drop-off.
“Too many small businesses get held back by outdated shipping options,” says Amir Khataie, Vice President of Process Engineering and Network Planning at UniUni.
“All sellers deserve a reliable, modern solution that grows with them,” Khataie said. “This offering is about giving them control, flexibility, and the confidence to compete nationally.”
Initially, UniUni Small Business is launching in Toronto with intentions to expand to more cities across Canada in the future.
