Nova Scotia [Canada], June 11: In a province where delivery delays have long been chalked up to "just how things work out here," one logistics startup is proving that reliability doesn't have to come from size. It can come from focus. Get It Picked, a growing courier service rooted in Nova Scotia, is introducing a smarter, more localized approach to delivery, designed specifically for the region's terrain, timing, and tempo.
Unlike traditional delivery networks built for interprovincial speed and volume, Get It Picked is engineered for precision and local fluency. Whether it's getting a prescription to a parent in Antigonish or ensuring a restaurant's fresh seafood shipment reaches Halifax on time, the company's delivery model speaks the language of local life.
Built for Local Lives, Not National Metrics
In large-scale courier operations, rural and semi-urban areas are often placed at the tail end of priority lists. Service windows stretch. Tracking updates stall. And businesses and individuals wait. Get It Picked flips this equation by narrowing its focus to what truly matters to Nova Scotians: speed, simplicity, and service that doesn't treat their location like an afterthought.
From the Eastern shore to the Annapolis Valley, Get It Picked enables:
* On-demand pickups for personal and commercial deliveries
* Same-day order fulfillment for local sellers
* Custom courier support for industries like healthcare, auto repair, and hospitality
Every delivery is handled by professionals who understand the streets they drive because they live here, too.
More Than Just Another App
Tech alone doesn't solve logistics. It's the design of that tech that matters. Get It Picked's platform offers real-time tracking, zone-based routing, and delivery confirmations tailored for both individual and enterprise users. Small businesses can log in to schedule pickups, manage recurring orders, and communicate with drivers directly.
But it's not just the features that are making it boom. It's the fit that determines how effectively it is adapting to people's needs. The app reflects the way Nova Scotians shop, sell, and move goods. Whether it's a boutique owner in Truro shipping out an online order or a mechanic in Bridgewater receiving a needed part, the system adapts to the task without adding operational friction.
Logistics That Understand the Maritimes
"We didn't start with a product, but we started with a problem," says one of the company's founding team members. "Too many delivery services treat Nova Scotia as an edge case. We built Get It Picked so local businesses and families wouldn't have to settle for poor service just because they're not in Toronto."
Their solution is distinctly regional. The platform divides Nova Scotia into functional zones i.e. Central, North, East, and West, ensuring streamlined delivery planning and timely execution. Drivers are on boarded locally, trained with location-specific SOPs, and incentivized not just by volume, but by service quality.
Diverse Clients, Common Needs
Though its roots lie in e-commerce support, Get It Picked has quickly evolved to serve a wider spectrum:
* Medical & Labs: Secure transport of time-sensitive kits and paperwork
* Construction & Renovation: On-site delivery of tools and equipment
* Furniture & Large Items: Bulk transport without the bulk delays
* Events & Pop-Ups: Time-critical delivery of staging materials
* Corporate & Legal: Professional document transfer across offices
Each vertical presents different needs, but the solution remains consistent: punctuality, reliability, and flexibility across Nova Scotia.
A Regional Network with Scalable Vision
As of mid-2025, Get It Picked is expanding carefully by listening before scaling. Business dashboards, district-based capacity building, and strategic partnerships with local enterprises are on the near-term roadmap. But growth is measured, not rushed.
Instead of promising "coverage," the company promises "commitment." Each new service area is launched only when the infrastructure and personnel are in place to meet its standards.
A Model Worth Watching
At a time when the conversation around logistics is dominated by drones, gig apps, and national giants, Get It Picked is taking a quieter but arguably more powerful approach. It's delivering trust, built one neighborhood at a time.
And for Nova Scotians tired of missed packages and vague ETAs, it might be the delivery model they didn't know they were waiting for.
