About the Preferred Carrier Program 

WFS offers access to preferred carrier rates for shipments from locations within the 10 Canadian provinces and 3 Canadian territories to a WFS fulfillment center with inbound logistics services capability.

When you set up a shipment, you will have the option to choose either a WFS preferred carrier or your own carrier to send your inbound items. If you choose a preferred carrier, you will have a window of 24 hours to void the estimated charges and edit the shipment. After that, you will not be able to cancel the shipment. This helps ensure we are locking in the best carrier rate at the time you set up your shipment.
