• Do I need to pay TAXES?
The cost of shipping is determined by a shipping calculator that is built into the site. The cost is based on the total weight of all the items being purchased and the current rates of the Canadian Postal Services. The total will be given to you after you enter your billing information and you will have the chance to review and confirm the order's total cost. Any other import taxes and fees that are imposed on international orders are completely dependent on the country that you are ordering from. If you are ordering from outside of Canada, the best way to find out if you will be charged any import fees is to contact your local postal service.
• Shipping Methods And Rush Delivery Options
Shipments to addresses within the United States are sent by UPS or United States Postal Service First Class Mail depending on weight and usually take 7 to 10 business days to arrive. International shipments including Canada and Mexico are sent by United States Postal Service Economy and usually take up to 21 business days to arrive. International shipments may be held by your local Customs Authority for an additional 10 to 14 days depending upon the customs laws in your country. Therefore, it is best to allow for 4 to 5 weeks for delivery.

If you select Rush Delivery for shipments within the United States, any instock catalog item will shipped to you to arrive the second day after your order is processed and fulfilled. For most Rush Delivery orders, this means arrival on the third day after the order was placed. Rush Delivery is NOT available for P.O. Boxes. You may combine as many product lines as you like within an order. Our various product lines do not always ship from the same warehouse; therefore you may receive several shipments for a single order.

If you order products for delivery to a shipping address outside The United States, you will be responsible for any and all import taxes, tariffs and duties which may be imposed upon by your Customs, Government or Other Authority on any parcel we send to you.
