Where are you shipping from? If the US check out:
Crossborder Pickups
https://www.crossborderpickups.ca/

They are very reasonable and I know will handle tires. You will need to get them from Toronto to Ottawa though. (you have 30 days to pick them up)

Hope this helps!

What was Canada Post's reason for not doing it?

FYI - I've shipped large items across Canada using Greyhound with good results. They are cheap, but you have to go to their drop off facility which was a bit inconvenient for me (near the airport).

tried that, the site says no good

I had tires ship from Montreal to Quebec city (230km) by purolator. I had to make a box and they charge me 41$ per tire if I remember right. That was 1 year ago. Also had 4 tires pickup at a dealer in Quebec city again for a client, this time they did not ask for a box and it cost me 165 tax in for the 4 to my door in Montreal.

I just called greyhound shipping express services at 1-877-463-6446 . They said no problem to shipping tires from Toronto to Ottawa....


I did it some years ago, and it appears they are still offering this service.. It's not as convenient "door-to-door" as other courier services because you need to take the tires to a greyhound bus station, and the person at the other end would need to go to their local bus station to pick them up, but it is very cost effective for large items such as tires.....

The day i called and searched, i guess the site was down.
