UniUni customer Point2Point Global is alleging in a new lawsuit that the Richmond, BC-based last-mile delivery company deliberately didn’t deliver thousands of its packages because it beat UniUni for a contract with a lucrative customer.
The US-based peer delivery service filed the lawsuit against UniUni’s California-based subsidiary last month. The allegations have not yet been tested in court.
The lawsuit comes as UniUni prepares to go public on the Toronto Stock Exchange by merging with a special purpose acquisition company.
A UniUni spokesperson told BetaKit in an email that the company “categorically denies these allegations and maintains that the lawsuit is entirely without merit,” but did not comment further because the matter is still before the courts.
The lawsuit claims that Point2Point hired UniUni for its delivery services, but that UniUni stopped providing those services without notice in early May; on the same day, Point2Point began fulfilling a contract with third-party logistics firm ShipMonk, a client for which UniUni was also competing.
According to the filing, this disruption affected more than 16,000 Point2Point packages, and one of Point2Point’s customers has already indicated it will no longer do business with them due to the disruption.
“UniUni knew that its suspension of service would cause economic and reputational harm to Point2Point, and UniUni sought to leverage its suspension of service and harm to Point2Point for its own benefit and competitive advantage,” the filing reads.
The lawsuit also alleges that UniUni was unjustly charging fees for thousands of undelivered and late packages it handled for Point2Point over the peak delivery season between October 2025 and January 2026, and that UniUni used trade secrets to solicit Point2Point’s clients.

“UniUni remains focused on providing exceptional service to its customers and supporting its delivery partners across North America,” the UniUni spokesperson said. “The company is confident that it continues to uphold these commitments at a world-class standard.”
The lawsuit is seeking damages and to stop UniUni from requesting or collecting on the more than $730,000 in fees stemming from “UniUni’s Peak Season service and billing errors,” the halt of UniUni using Point2Point’s proprietary information, and the final delivery of packages UniUni still has.
UniUni, which acts as a delivery partner for e-commerce giants like Shein and Temu, is no stranger to legal scrutiny. The company is already battling multiple proposed class-action lawsuits targeting its labour practices. In early 2025, local police in Connecticut also found people sleeping in sordid conditions inside a UniUni warehouse.
The lawsuit comes as UniUni prepares to go public on the Toronto Stock Exchange by merging with a special purpose acquisition company that will value the combined entity at more than $1 billion USD ($1.4 billion CAD).
