EXPRESS OR PRIORITY SHIPPING INFORMATION

Before You Pay Extra for Express or Priority Shipping PLEASE READ THIS 

Canada Post will not guarantee shipping arrival times for any level of shipping at this time. Before you pay extra for express or priority realize that there is no guarantee on delivery times due to Covid and shipping delays associated. When you choose a shipping option on our site, the cost is calculated by Canada Post based on the size of the box your item goes into, insurance coverage and the volumetric weight of the box. We include insurance in the event Canada Post loses your parcel. We then pay Canada Post what you paid us in order to ship the item to you for the level of shipping you chose.

Once Canada Post takes possession of the package the delivery time and date is out of our control. We have ZERO control over that package after Canada Post takes it from us. If that package is lost we will put in a claim for insurance to cover the item. This may take a week or two (possibly longer) to be approved. Canada Post WILL NOT GUARANTEE shipping times, arrivals or arrival days. Even with a date set by Canada Post for delivery the delivery date may change. Please consider this before paying for express or priority.

Envelope Shipping Caution

We have turned envelope shipping back on. Please note before you order, if the envelope is lost the package is not insured against loss.

Insurance Rates / Lost Parcels / Envelope Rates:  We have stopped the envelope shipping option on our site. We've had a high rate of lost envelopes. When choosing envelope rates the purchaser is advised that the package has no insurance and no guarantees. In the event the package is lost there are no refunds because there are is no insurance.  So although the insurance may seem high, the insurance guarantees you will be reimbursed in the event your parcel is lost.

Pricing: Due to Covid 19 costs have increased and our dollar has fallen. Pre Covid 19 our dollar exchange for U.S money was about $1.35. Covide 19 has driven our dollar down to $1.42 against the U.S dollar. This means our costs have increased substantially.  Along with the exchange increase, airlines being shut down due to Covid 19 the cost of shipping has almost doubled.  Increasing our costs further. We don't expect the price increases to hit on our items immediately. They will however increase in the coming weeks as we do have product waiting to be completed, paid for and shipped. While we hope that this increases will lower over time we are unsure as to how long that will take.

• When choosing a faster shipping option on checkout, your order may take longer to deliver than what the chosen option states.
• Canada Post will not guarantee any delivery time frames due to COVID 19.

As of March 24th 2020 at 23:59 hrs, our Provincial government has ordered all non essential business's closed for a period of 14 days. This prevents people from being together in public. We do not have a physical location people can come to as we are strictly online. This means there is no public contact. We will continue to ship our orders but we will be down our one employee. Jason will still be answering phones and processing the elctronic part of the orders while we pick and pack them at night. It makes no sense to expose him by continuing to come in to the office daily. We have scaled our shipping days down to Friday only as we are not always home from work by the time our coirier arrives at 14:30 daily. One day pick up only will allow us a chance to process all orders by the end of the week. As of today we have shipped all orders thats came in before 12:00 noon today. The remaining orders will be processed this week and barring any issues will ship on Friday March 27th. 

We appreciate your business and patience at this time. We will continue to provide service to the front line as you battle your way through this trying time. The world has changed, what we do has not. Please be good to each other, have each others back and BE SAFE
