"It's exclusively an emergency same-day service - like a taxi. Although Purolator has a same-day service, too, most of it is courier and ovemight." For Anne McCrea at Al's Express, the Crown corporation's sudden blossoming into the largest courier operator in the country shouldn't ruffle the waters in her pool much. That's because Al's isn't really a courier service, even though it's listed that way in the phone book. "There's no telephone listing for ‘ :.-..

It has offices in major Canadian and American cities and does business in many overseas countries. Purolator and Canada Post's Priority courier would really be run separately, as Canada Posts' spokepeople have declared. "It remains to be seen," she said. Bill Simpson, of Swift Sure, could see one benefit of the deal in that the freight of the two compa- nies would be amalgamated, thus shrinking the industry a bit and making more room for other players in the field, vice-president. "Neither Purolator nor Canada Post's Priority courier is strong in the international market," said Jacobyn Utermark. "We read about the purchase with great interest, of course, but not with fear."
