HobbyTech is no longer accepting orders from US customers through the website. The primary reason is that customs charges have to be calculated and prepared for you manually. The courier companies requires that tariffs, taxes and fees are collected in advance.
Please place your orders by email. We will prepare your order and forward your total cost including customs duties and shipping cost for delivery by a courier like UPS, FedEx and Purolator.
US tariff refers to the import duties and fees applied to goods entering the U.S., which vary based on the product, its country of origin, and recent policy changes. The US administration has recently eliminated its de minimis exemption for most shipments, meaning all shipments may now be subject to taxes and fees including but not limited to brokerage charges. The duties are cost to be paid by the US consumer and must in most cases be paid in advance through the carrier used to import your goods.
We ship world wide with Canada Post* at cost + $4 Handling Charge . Courier service is also available within Canada.
We do NOT offer Free Shipping. Pick-Up in store is defined as a shipping option and is of course at no charge. As this is the lowest cost option it is also the default by the website. Hence you may see Free Shipping during check-out till you have chosen your shipping option. Shipping by Canada Post or a courier service will always be at a charge.
We ship FOB Origin: The buyer (customer) assumes full responsibility of the goods once it has been picked up by the carrier.
Insurance: Up to 100 CAD (about $70 USD) coverage is included with the shipping. Any shortfall in the event of a loss or damage to your parcel is deemed to be self-insured by you, the recipient. Additional coverage may be available at a cost of $2.80 CAD ($2.00 USD) per increment of $100 CAD (about $70 USD). Please let us know that you would like to add insurance and we will add if available on your shipping option before charges are processed.
We pack well to protect your items during transit. Should you want extra padding just let us know. Keep in mind, that will increase the parcel volume and with that also your cost.
