Transit Times
We are located in Newcastle, Ontario (Canada), which means that orders mailed outside of this country, may not arrive as quickly as orders mailed to destinations that are closer to us. Please note that occasionally, orders may take longer to process than stated due to large order volumes associated with holidays, special promotions, or delays associated with the carrier. International orders pass through customs, which may add additional delays.

Additional Information
Customs Charges/Import Duties: For U.S. and international orders, any taxes or duties assessed by customs will be the responsibility of the recipient.
Special Instruction: Please do not ask us to have the post office leave packages "on the back porch," etc., as the Canada Post/USPS does not accept special requests.
Lost Packages: On rare occasions, due to no fault on our part, a package sent via the Canada Post/USPS may not arrive at its destination. In such an instance, we will reship your order after a reasonable time has elapsed, but will require that you sign and return a letter confirming that your package indeed was never received. This only applies to shipments that have been insured.
