The Canadian e-commerce landscape is changing, and small businesses are at the heart of this evolution. On July 10, 2025, UniUni, a leader in last-mile delivery, announced the launch of its innovative UniUni Small Business system, a network of local drop-off and service points designed to make shipping easier, smarter, and more accessible for Canadian merchants of all sizes.
Available now in Toronto and set to expand nationwide, UniUni Small Business promises to bridge the gap between traditional, inconvenient shipping options and the growing demands of modern e-commerce sellers.
Designed With Sellers in Mind
The harsh reality for many Canadian merchants has long been the lack of flexible, affordable, and scalable shipping solutions. Legacy couriers often require complex onboarding, impose high minimums, or demand long-term contracts, barriers that strain small businesses working to grow. Meanwhile, disconnected or rigid platforms leave sellers feeling like just another number.
As Amir Khataie, VP of Process Engineering and Network Planning at UniUni, put it:
“Too many small businesses get held back by outdated shipping options. All sellers deserve a reliable, modern solution that grows with them. This offering is about giving them control, flexibility, and the confidence to compete nationally.”
UniUni Small Business directly addresses these frustrations. The new system revolves around two main features:
- Staffed UniUni Stores—Physical storefronts where sellers can print shipping labels and drop off packages with guided assistance.
- Automated UniUni Points—Unstaffed, self-serve kiosks that allow for quick, 24/7 package drop-off, catering to the demanding schedules of modern entrepreneurs.
Both options are designed for convenience and speed, empowering sellers to focus on upgrading their business rather than worrying about logistics.
Control, Flexibility, and Instant Access
What sets UniUni Small Business apart is its smooth, self-serve approach. Sellers can sign up instantly no need to wait for account representatives or agree to lengthy contracts. Whether shipping a single package or managing hundreds daily, merchants have access to competitive rates and UniUni’s robust logistics platform right out of the gate.
The system includes an all-in-one dashboard for easy shipment management, real-time tracking, and automation tools to save time and reduce errors. Importantly, sellers benefit from:
- Broad carrier partnerships for optimal delivery options.
- UniUni’s own last-mile delivery network for speed and reliability.
- End-to-end, full-stack integration—covering both domestic and cross-border shipping.
As Jax Zheng, Director of Strategic Partnerships at UniUni, explained:
“Small businesses are the backbone of Canada’s economy, and UniUni believes they deserve the same speed and flexibility as big corporations. UniUni Small Business makes it easy for companies to compete and grow on their own terms, knowing we’ll be their partner through it all.”
Empowering Growth for Canadian Entrepreneurs
With the rise of local makers and emerging e-commerce retailers across Canada, having access to efficient and affordable shipping can make or break a small enterprise. UniUni’s new initiative levels the playing field, removing many of the logistical headaches faced by smaller sellers and arming them with the same advanced tools as larger operations.
Sellers can sign up immediately at uniuni.com/small-business and begin shipping the same day. This immediacy, combined with transparent pricing and easy-to-use service points, further simplifies the transition for entrepreneurs aiming to expand their reach without losing control over their operations.
