Shipping and Delivery
Shipping
For US addresses we charge a base shipping rate USD $5.95. For Canadian addresses we charge a base shipping rate determined by Canada Post Expedited Parcel Service. We offer free shipping on any orders to US/Canada over USD $85 dollars before any applicable taxes.
For addresses not located in the US or Canada, the shipping and handling charges are based on the total weight of your order. Our checkout process is designed to automatically calculate the weight of your order, which is then used to show the shipping and handling rates.
We ship most of our orders within one to three business days from the date you submit your order. Note: Orders placed over the weekend (After 11:00 AM PST on Fridays) will be processed the following Monday.
Delivery
For deliveries to the US, we ship your order using Canada Post from Vancouver. The parcel will be assigned to USPS at the border for subsequent delivery by USPS.
For Delivery to Canada we ship your order from Vancouver, BC by Canada post. Please allow 3 to 10 business days (excluding weekends and holidays) for delivery within Canada.
Delivery to International countries: We will contact you to verify your shipping information when we receive an order from an international address. Until the information is verified by the customer, we will hold the order. Any additional import duties, customs or brokerage fees are the responsibility of the customer.
PLEASE NOTE: All international shipments may be subject to customs duties, import taxes, and/or other fees upon delivery, depending on your country’s laws and regulations. These charges are not included in the purchase price or shipping cost. Customers are solely responsible for any duties, taxes, or fees that may apply upon import into their country. We have no control over these charges and cannot predict what they may be, as customs policies vary widely by country. Failure to pay applicable import fees may result in delays, returned shipments, or additional charges for which the customer will be responsible.
As of April 2025, we have not received reports of any US customer paying additional charges for delivery of the merchandise. Please let us know if you are charged for delivery, and we will attempt to work with you.
