3) 3) *Please Note: our flat rate and free shipping are based on a comparative analysis between UPS and Canada Post, during the Canada Post strike a comparative quote is not possible and may result in additional fees or a hold of the order until the end of the strike. We will absorb additional costs to a certain point in order to minimize distruptions but if these additional costs exceed set thresholds we will contact you with available options.

**Please make sure that you check your tracking # to get a better idea of the actual delivery time! We send you an email of your tracking # as well you will get an email(s) from Canada Post or UPS (when it ships out, exceptions & delivery). We are not responsible for shipping times once they have been received by the carrier.
PER CANADA POST & UPS: Both have followed the guidance of public health authorities and made the safety of employees and customers a top priority. These measures, combined with the heavy demand for parcels, means our ability to process has been slowed down. While parcel processing and delivery is expected to continue at a high pace, customers may experience some delays as important safety measures continue. Canada Post & UPS aim to do their best to deliver, but there may be delays in some regions, due to inclement weather, acts of nature, or some other unforeseen incident. Delivery standards have been adjusted to help manage delivery expectations.
If you have not received any emails from either us, Canada Post or UPS please check your email under your Junk &/or Trash folders as they may have ended up there.
5) Large & Oversized Products
Certain items available in our store that are unusually large, bulky or heavy will not qualify for the shipping rates listed in section #3. Due to their size &/or weight Canada Post charges extra to ship them. Should you wish to purchase one of these items please contact us in advance & we can quote you a shipping rate based on your delivery destination.
6) Shipping Method
All orders are shipped from our Georgetown, Ontario store. In Canada, we use Canada Post & UPS. In the United States we use UPS only.
Shipping costs are for ground transportation only for all shipping methods. For shipments outside of Ontario or to the USA any additional charges (taxes, duty, etc) are the responsibility of the end user. With ever order we will email you the tracking # so that you can go to UPS/Canada Post's sites to track the arrival date for your package.
**For Canada, if you want your order to be sent via Canada Post ONLY then please put a note in the comment section of the order at time of check out.
**In Canada, if you have a PO Box in the address we will always use Canada Post.
