Holiday Shipping 2024
CANADA
Update - December 5, 2024
Shipping options are changing rapidly due to the ongoing postal strike. UPS is currently overloaded and has suspended pick-ups for the next few days.
We are continuing to offer flat rate shipping via a variety of different couriers, however, they are all significantly more expensive than UPS so our flat rates have increased slightly to reflect the higher costs.
Please note: the rates quoted in the shipping chart below are currently suspended until the situation stabilizes.
We appreciate your patience and understanding while we attempt to navigate this tricky situation. Massive shipping increases for Black Friday and Cyber Monday have exacerbated the challenges of an already busy Holiday Season during a postal strike.
We'll do all that we can to get your holiday shipments out as quickly as possible. Please contact us by phone or email if you have questions about your order.
We are shipping via UPS for the duration of the Canada Post strike. Standard and Expedited shipping options are available.
If a shipping option is not showing up at checkout, your order may need some manual adjustments on our end to complete the transaction - please contact us by email or phone for assistance.
