QRC Logistics: Nearly 50 Years of on Time Canadian Retail Distribution

For almost five decades, QRC Logistics has helped brands keep commitments to retailers and customers across Ontario and beyond. We are built for time sensitive delivery, appointment windows, and the daily realities that make retail distribution hard to execute consistently.

Since 1978, we have earned long term partnerships by doing the basics exceptionally well: clear communication, reliable performance, and teams that work in sync across dispatch, warehouse, and drivers so schedules are met and promises are delivered.

What We Do

We started with retail distribution and grew into a full service logistics partner. Today, customers use QRC for transportation, warehousing, fulfillment, and last mile execution across Canada.

Retail Distribution Is Where We Built Our Reputation

We deliver to Canadian retail outlets daily, with appointment deliveries as the norm. Many of the products we move require care, security, and precision, including high value goods, fashion, cosmetics, and consumer electronics.

Customers choose QRC Logistics when the requirement is not just “deliver it,” but “deliver it on time, in the right way, every time.”

Built To Handle The Full Day, Not Just The First Run

A key part of our performance is having the right amount of rolling assets to hit daily appointment deliveries throughout the GTA and Southern Ontario.

To make those assets work for customers all day long, we also provide time sensitive cartage and regional LTL services on a same day and overnight basis.

Where We Operate

Our Ontario service area extends:

  • West to Windsor
  • North to Barrie
  • East to Kingston

Serving businesses and retail outlets along the 401 corridor is a core strength. For overnight courier style requirements, we offer three service levels: by 9 a.m., by noon, and by 5 p.m.

How We Work

From the first shipment you place in our care, you should feel the difference in how the operation runs. Our teams are trained to stay practical and responsive when conditions change, and to stay accountable when timelines are tight.

The values behind our service are simple: innovative, flexible, accountable, and responsive.

Built on Trust. Backed by Proof.

Federal security approval, national industry membership, and local business roots. Three signals that say the same thing: we take this seriously.

Canadian International Freight Forwarders Association

CIFFA Member

Anyone can say they run a professional operation. CIFFA membership proves it. QRC operates under the Standard Trading Conditions that have governed Canada’s freight forwarding industry since 1948. When you work with a CIFFA member, you work with a company held to a recognized code of conduct, not just a handshake.

Partners in Protection

PIP-Approved Warehouse

The Canada Border Services Agency does not hand out Trusted Trader status to every warehouse. You earn it. QRC’s Halton Hills facility passed CBSA security validation for how goods enter, get stored, and leave our building. For customers moving cross-border freight, that means fewer inspections, faster clearance, and a supply chain the government has already vetted.

Milton Chamber of Commerce

National reach matters. So does showing up locally. QRC is a proud Milton Chamber of Commerce member for 2025 to 2026 because we believe the businesses around our head office deserve the same investment we put into our operations. Halton Hills is not just where we work. It is where we are rooted.
