Shipping Methods & Timeframes
Canadian Shipping
I ship all physical products via Canada Post with these options:
Letter Mail: 3-10 business days (no tracking available)
Expedited Parcel: 2-7 business days (with tracking)
Xpresspost: 1-3 business days (with tracking)
International Shipping
Important Update: Due to current global situations, international shipping (especially to the USA) has become increasingly difficult and expensive. I may temporarily pause US orders. Thank you for understanding while we navigate these challenges together!
When available, international shipping times typically range from 1-4 weeks depending on destination and customs processing.

Shipping costs are calculated at checkout based on:
Package weight
