About Starship
We don’t just move packages. We move trust.
Since our first day in business, Starship has been focused on responsiveness. Our network is designed for immediate action, disciplined execution, and the high-stakes deliveries that demand attention right now.
Every Delivery Has a Purpose
Whether it’s a critical medical shipment, sensitive documents, or a component keeping operations on schedule, Starship delivers with speed, discipline, and necessary discretion.
We Are Specialists in Urgency
When the stakes are high, execution matters. Starship is designed for complex, regulated, and time-critical deliveries that demand precision and control.
Our people are proactive, resourceful, and focused on refining our processes every day — so your most important shipments move with confidence.

-
Precision — Execution that aligns with your timing and standards
-
Visibility — Transparency you can depend on at every step
-
Adaptability — Solutions that scale with your needs
-
Partnership — Support that feels like an extension of your team
Our History
Founded in Ottawa in 1978, Starship quickly established itself as a trusted logistics provider across Canada. In 1980, the acquisition of Canbec expanded our service capabilities in Montreal and strengthened our presence in key regional markets. Today, Starship supports hundreds of businesses nationwide with a comprehensive range of logistics and final-mile solutions.
In 2021, Starship was acquired by American Expediting, a U.S.-based life sciences and specialty logistics provider. Together, the two organizations combine decades of operational experience and a shared commitment to reliable, time-sensitive delivery for high-value and mission-critical shipments across Canada and the U.S.
