TORONTO, ON–Purolator package pick-up and drop-off services are now available at 135 Michaels retail stores across Canada, including three self-serve Quick Stop Kiosks at select locations, thereby offering customers more convenient ways to send and receive packages, including curbside service.

To celebrate the new partnership, Purolator and Michaels are also making it easier for Canadians to share moments of joy and create personalized packages for loved ones this holiday season. Purolator is releasing 13 limited-edition festive art boxes, designed by emerging Canadian artists from all provinces and territories. Canadians will be able to send packages to family and friends in specially designed art boxes — available early December at Purolator Shipping Centres and Mobile Quick Stop trucks and Michaels locations nationwide — when they ship using Purolator Express services.

Michaels is challenging Canadians to design and share their own shipping box artwork through a Design-a-Box Sweepstakes. The contest will award the creator of one winning design with a grand prize of $1,000 worth of Michaels supplies, plus free shipping with Purolator (up to $1,200).

“We’re making it safer, simpler and more convenient for Canadians to send and receive packages, as well as celebrate moments of joy and creativity together at this festive time of year,” said Laurie Weston, director of retail, Purolator. “It’s another way we can meet customers’ needs throughout the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond. We are excited to partner with artists from a wide range of backgrounds and regions. We hope all Canadians find a design that inspires them to share a seasonal art box with a loved one.”

“People are juggling a lot these days, and we believe that partnering with Purolator provides an additional solution to help our customers ship and receive their packages at any of our Michaels stores across the country,” said Matthew Rubin, senior vice president of business development and growth, Michaels. “As a company focused on bringing creativity to life, we are excited to support talented artists and look forward to seeing the imaginative designs submitted in the Design-A-Box Sweepstakes.”
