Chit Chats' vision is to help Canadians deliver their goods to the world with postage at unbelievable prices. We are a fast growing entrepreneurial company making a huge impact to Canadian entrepreneurs and businesses. As ecommerce removes borders, we don't want high Canadian postal rates to be a barrier to world commerce. We aim to remove these physical and financial restraints to create a seamless, borderless and boundless world of opportunity for Canadians.

We value all of our clients. Our success has been built by honesty, trust, determination, and delivering on our promises. Our staff must be loyal and committed to the business.  Customs compliance and customer service are our top priorities. We value hard work, diversity, teamwork, and respect.
