Shipping Rates

We offer shipping across Canada and around the world! Please note, shipping rates are non-refundable. If you need to return an online order, you are responsible for any return shipping fees incurred - please see our return policy for details.

In Canada

$12 flat rate shipping on all orders, excluding degree frames. (See special shipping rates for degree frames below.)

Please allow 3-5 business days for delivery in metropolitan areas and 3-7 days for rural delivery.

International (outside of Canada)

At checkout, choose International as your shipping option, and submit the order. Please ensure you have provided your full shipping address.

Once we have received your order, we will contact our courier for a quote and email you the estimated delivery cost. You will have the option to approve the charge, or decline and cancel your order.

Degree frames

Due to the fragile nature of degree frames, there is a $27.00 packaging and handling fee per frame.

Degree frames do not qualify for flat rate shipping or other shipping promotions.

If you choose in-store pick-up for your degree frame, the special handling fee will show up on your order confirmation but will be waived before we process your method of payment.
