Important Notice: Canada Post Service Disruptions (As of November 2, 2025)
As you may be aware, ongoing Canada Post disruptions and tighter US customs checks are causing delivery delays and, in some cases, unexpected tariffs for American customers. But our team is on it. Here’s how we’re working to ensure your cherished treasures arrive safe and sound:

Shipping Within Canada

We currently ship most Canadian orders via Canada Post, all with a signature required upon delivery. For rural and remote areas, Canada Post remains our preferred carrier, as courier options can be significantly more expensive.For high-value shipments (such as artwork), we ship via UPS to ensure added security and reliability. Shipping method is determined based on the value of the item and the customer’s location.

Shipping Within The United States

For our US customers, we ship all US orders via UPS. UPS remains our preferred carrier as it allows us to complete all necessary paperwork and have a clear process in place for customs appeals, if needed.

 

Shipping Timelines

Canada & USA
Standard: 6-10 business days

    International
    Standard: 10-14 business days

    If you need to receive an item sooner, please contact our team. All shipping timelines are estimated by the carrier, and exceptions may apply. We are not responsible for delays caused by shipping carriers or customs.

     

    Shipping FAQs

      How long does it take to process an order?  

      Please allow order processing to take 1-3 business days.

      How are orders shipped?

      We ship orders via Canada Post or UPS, depending on the value of the item and the delivery location. All shipments require a signature upon delivery.

      How can I track my order? 

      You will receive a shipping confirmation email with tracking information. If you didn't receive this email, please check your junk mail folder or contact us. 

      Do you ship to PO boxes?

      We do ship to PO boxes. 

      Customs & Duties

      Customers placing orders outside of Canada are responsible for all customs charges, tariffs, brokerage, and clearance fees.

      For customers in the United States: Our products qualify as tariff-exempt under USMCA. However, customers may still be charged a customs clearance or brokerage fee by UPS for processing the shipment across the border.

      If a tariff is charged in error, the customer is responsible for paying the amount at delivery. We will then initiate an appeal process with UPS on your behalf.

        Weather Delays

        Please note we are located on the islands of Haida Gwaii in northwestern British Columbia, Canada. Due to the nature of being located in a remote area, some shipments may experience unexpected delays due to ferry or plane cancellations. We are not able to provide shipping refunds for these delays. 

        Do you deliver on Haida Gwaii? 

        We deliver on Haida Gwaii via Port Air Cargo. Please expect 1 - 3 business days for order processing, and up to 3 business days for delivery. Port Air Cargo does not deliver on weekends.
