Shipping Policy

We ship world wide with Canada Post* at cost + $4 Handling Charge . Up to 100 CAD (about $80 USD) coverage is included with the shipping.

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 will be at a charge.

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.

*Some countries are excluded by our website as Canada Post with its international partners only offer limited shipping options. However, you may order by email and we will process your order manually. Keep in mind that shipping might be expensive.
