Delivery to your community —
by your community.
We are an Indigenous-owned courier service bringing packages to Northern Manitoba First Nations where big carriers don’t deliver.
Indigenous-owned & community-focused
Reliable weekly delivery
Direct hand-off — no packages left outside
Affordable, transparent pricing
ThunderBird Express was founded by a proud Indigenous business owner who was born in a northern First Nation — and knows exactly what it feels like to hear: “We don’t deliver to your area.” We know what it’s like to wait weeks for a package. We know what it’s like to feel left out — of services, convenience, and basic access.
That’s why we built a delivery service for us. By us. Reliable. Affordable. Grounded in respect and trust.
We’re not a big corporation. We’re your neighbors, your cousins, your friends — delivering what matters, every week. Whether it’s an Amazon order, groceries, or hockey gear for your kids — we make sure your packages arrive safely, on time, and with care.
Norway House Cree Nation –
Our Home, Our Strength
We are proud to serve Norway House Cree Nation – one of the largest, strongest and progressive Indigenous communities in Manitoba.
Our Nation is more than just a place on the map. It is a vibrant, growing community that stands as a central hub for the North. NHCN continues to show the strength and unity of our people.
At ThunderBird Express, we are deeply connected to this community. With the support of our local leadership, we make sure every delivery is not just about packages – it’s about trust, reliability, and serving our own people first.
When you ship with ThunderBird Express, you’re not only choosing safe and fast delivery – you’re also choosing to support Norway House families directly. A part of our profits goes back into community programs and initiatives, so that every package delivered helps make our Nation even stronger.

Community support
Thanks to the support from TB Landscaping, a subsidiary of Thunderbird Express, we were able to purchase full goalie equipment for one of our young, talented hockey players.
This generous contribution gave a child the real opportunity to play the sport they love — with confidence and pride, knowing their community stands behind them.
Acts of kindness like this fuel our mission to dream bigger and continue creating meaningful opportunities for our youth.
WHAT MAKES US SPECIAL?
We build logistics that withstand freezing cold, heavy rain, and long distances — ensuring your orders always arrive on time. A portion of our profits is reinvested back into the community — supporting local programs, creating jobs, and contributing to the growth of the reservation.
Our prices start from $25 for a small package. Cost depends on the size and weight of your parcel. We’ll always tell you the price up front — no hidden fees. You only pay when you pick up your package at our Norway House station.
We deliver twice a week, so you never wait long. If your package arrives in Winnipeg just after a truck has left, it will be on the next one right away.
We are an Indigenous-owned company built on transparency and respect for our people. We actively collaborate with local businesses in Norway House and Winnipeg to make sure money and opportunities stay in the community.
Most importantly, our service is trusted by respected organizations, including the leadership group of Norway House, which already works with us. This recognition proves that we are reliable, professional, and committed to delivering on our promises.
We track every package from Winnipeg to Norway House. If there’s ever an issue, our team will work with you to resolve it quickly and fairly.
Yes — we provide custom solutions for local businesses that need regular deliveries between Winnipeg and Norway House.
We work with retailers, clinics, offices, and community organizations that need fast and reliable transport for goods, supplies, or equipment.
