Orders are packed and shipped Monday - Friday 9am-5pm. Most stock orders in Ontario are shipped and delivered within 1- 2 business days from the order date. All other locations can take up to 5-7 days. Online Orders placed on weekends and select holidays are processed on the next business day. We cannot guarantee this timeline during the high season (September 1 – December 31).

We use a variety of couriers, depending on which one can get it to you the fastest. The companies we use are Canada Post, Canpar, FedEx, Purolator UPS, A & B and Suretrack. For palletized shipments, other couriers are used, unless you request otherwise.

If you have your own shipping account with a local courier, please let us know as soon as possible in the Order Comments at checkout so we can try to accommodate your shipping method.
