We ship globally using a variety of shipping providers. Within North America we recommend shipping via Canada Post and US Postal Service.
We also ship via FedEx, DHL, and UPS.
NB – Shipping via DHL may incur additional administrative fees due to the difficulties involved in shipping with this service provider.
Due to changes in US policy, all shipments from Canada that are US bound are subject to pre-payment of shipping duties. The rate of those duties depends on the country of origin of the product, and vary significantly (10%-170%).
Pre-payment of shipping duties is a US Government requirement for any parcels entering US borders.

NB – We no longer accept PayPal!
