AMERICANS CAN NOW USE USPS!!!

Posted by Shelley on 7th Jul 2016

Yes - You read that correctly!  We can now ship our American Customers packages via United States Postal Service!  This isn't easy as we are in Saskatoon, SK. Canada which is about a 7 hour drive the the US border.

This is how it will work!  Chose USPS on check out - It's currently set up as a flat rate of $10.00CAD ($7.50USD) -- this will be tweaked as we only ever try to break even on shipping - we never pad our costs we just charge what it costs us to send to you!

We log into our shipping program and print the shipping label in US dollars with USPS.  We attach that label to your package.  Your package goes into a bigger box.  Once or twice a week that box will be overnight-ed to the company in BC Canada, who will then take it across the border and leave it at the post office in Blaine Washington. Once it hits USPS it should take 2-4 business days to get to you, depending on how far it must travel. This packages will arrive faster than they ever did with Canada Post which took 2-3 weeks to get to the USA from our hands.  These packages will also have a tracking number for peace of mind, unlike Canada Post packages!

Canada Post is currently threatening to have a labour dispute.  As a business we cannot afford to wait and see what is going to happen.  This has already caused a HUGE decline in orders as our customers are worried about their orders getting stuck in the mail.  We can't wait this out, and this option seems to be a good one for YOU, our customers!  So we are going to give it a try and see what happens!!

We appreciate your feedback and giving something new a try!!  Thanks so much!!!
