Bud Cargo vs Speed Greens: An Honest Comparison
Last updated: 22 September 2026
Quick answer
Speed Greens and Bud Cargo are both Canadian mail-order dispensaries with near-identical free-shipping thresholds — $149 against our $150. Speed Greens runs a much stronger first-order promotion. Bud Cargo publishes its payment methods, flat shipping rates and carriers up front, and offers Purolator next-day.
Speed Greens calls itself Canada’s #1 online dispensary and competes hardest on the first order. That is a real strength and worth saying plainly. Where the two of us differ is what happens after that first order — and how much you can find out before you check out. Facts below come from what each site publishes publicly, checked September 2026.

Where Speed Greens is the better choice
Your first order. Twenty percent off plus a free eighth and a gram of diamonds is a genuinely large welcome offer, and larger than anything we run. If you are buying once to try a dispensary out, that maths is hard to argue with.
A slightly lower free-shipping bar. One dollar lower, which is close enough to call a tie, but it is in their favour.
Where Bud Cargo is the better choice
You want to know the terms before you commit. We publish payment methods, flat shipping rates and carriers on the site. Speed Greens does not put those on the homepage, so you find out later in the process. Neither approach is wrong, but one of them lets you compare properly.
You want next-day delivery. Purolator next-day sits alongside Canada Post Xpresspost at our checkout.
You buy by weight. Our ounce deals run $39 to $110 for a full 28 g — a median around $2.50 a gram — and every flower page prints the per-gram cost at each weight so the price break is visible before you add to cart. On premium flower the per-gram cost falls from $10 at a single gram to about $5.71 at the ounce.
You are a repeat buyer. A one-time welcome discount stops mattering on the third order. Standing per-gram pricing does not.
On licensing
Neither Bud Cargo nor Speed Greens is a provincially licensed cannabis retailer. Provincially licensed retail runs through each province’s own system. You need to be of legal age where you live, and you are responsible for the rules that apply in your province.

Frequently asked questions
Is Speed Greens the same company as Bud Cargo?
No. They are separate, unaffiliated Canadian mail-order dispensaries. Free shipping thresholds are almost identical — $149 at Speed Greens, $150 here — but they are different businesses.
Which has cheaper shipping?
Practically the same. Speed Greens publishes free shipping on orders over $149; ours is $150. Below that we charge a $25 flat rate regionally or $30 nationally. Speed Greens does not publish a flat rate.
Does Speed Greens accept credit cards?
They do not state payment methods on their homepage, so we will not claim either way — check at their checkout. Bud Cargo accepts Interac e-Transfer and credit card, and we publish that up front.
Who has the better new-customer offer?
Speed Greens, clearly. They advertise a SPEED20 code giving 20% off plus 3.5 g of flower and 1 g of diamonds on a first order. We do not run a standing first-order bundle of that size; our discounts come through coupons and mix-and-match pricing.
Which one should I use?
If you are placing a first order and want the biggest one-time discount, their new-customer offer is hard to beat. If you order regularly, care about published shipping terms and carriers, want to pay by card, or buy at ounce weights, we are the more predictable option.
