How Norship Works
With 15 years of arctic shipping experience, we're Qikiqtaaluk's first choice for freight forwarding and procurement. We source, purchase, pickup, receive, store and/or ship anything* by air and sea.
Make a request
Fill out the Norship Request Form Above. If shipping to our warehouse for forwarding, the shipping details are in the Request Form.
We do our thing
Once your Request Form is received our team gets busy fulfilling it - whether that's purchasing and picking up or simply receiving items you ship to us.
You get your thing
Your final invoice will have a tracking number on it, which you'll use to pickup from Canadian North Cargo after it has landed in your community.
