It is important that you follow through with your order pick up in due course.

You may choose to have product shipped anywhere within Canada. All shipping is done via Canada Post. Our goal is to have product packaged and ready for shipping within 2 business days of receiving an order. Customers will receive an email notification when the package is shipped. Canada Post delivery standards are 2-6 business days to major Canadian cities and may take longer to rural or remote addresses. Customers in Toronto, Ottawa, and Montreal can often expect next-day delivery in many cases.
We will offer FREE SHIPPING on orders over $250 for Ontario and Quebec customers, and over $300 for the rest of Canada; the preceding limits are before taxes are calculated.
Christmas Shipping Note: Due to parcel volume during the holidays, shipping is not guaranteed to arrive by Christmas the closer to Christmas the order is placed. Typically, anything ordered after December 10th may or may not arrive for Christmas within Ontario (earlier for out of province shipments). We take no responsibility for the service standards of Canada Post at any time of the year.
