Orders are filled within 24-48 hours from receipt of order, Monday through 2:00 pm Friday, excluding holidays. Please keep in mind that our products are 'kid tested', so that means we are closed on weekends and statutory holidays for 'testing'!
Shipping prices are calculated during the checkout process using Canada Post’s integrated shipping module. Our handy 'Shipping Estimator' gives you an idea of the cost to ship before entering all of your contact information. This estimate is for Expedited* service with a tracking number. Once you complete the checkout process, you may select from a list of shipping options, with delivery times, that service your area. Actual shipping times are often faster than the estimates below.
Estimated Standard Delivery Times* (in business days):
| Lower Mainland | 2-3 days |
| BC | 4-6 days |
| Canada | 5-7 days |
| USA | 10-14 days |
| International | see below |
NOTE: Statutory holidays may add an extra day. Delivery outside of major urban centres may take longer. Once your order has shipped, you will receive a confirmation e-mail indicating the estimated arrival time.
**During 'free shipping' promotions, packages to the USA are shipped by Small Packet Surface. Estimated delivery time is 2-4 weeks and a tracking number is not available. Please contact us if you would like to upgrade your service - we will charge you for the difference from the free service to the upgrade.
