1. In my experience, greyhound. But I am sure that depends a lot on the size of the parcel. I typically send my bigger boxes through greyhound as I seem to get a decent deal on them. I couldn't give you an EXACT quote though. Just my personal experience.
2. Canada Post if you use regular (Parcel Post) delivery, which can take up to 5 days. Greyhound if you need it for 2 day delivery, unless you're shipping cross country, in which case Canada Post or DHL are almost always cheaper.
3. it depends on if you want the parcel to get there at all!!!! Any time that I've sent a parcel by post it usually arrives late when it does arrive at all. Every time I've shipped by bus it gets there on time and in good shape. When ever I have to ship parcels of any size now I only use the courier services they get there on time BUT they do cost more.
4. Greyhound is definitely cheaper, but is also less reliable. I've gone the greyhound route a few times before, and twice the package never made it to the destination. I won't bother now, I'd rather pay a smidge more and be confident my parcel will actually get to where I want it to go!
