Hi USA Customers!
We are very happy to provide you with USPS Services. This is how it works.
We use Stamps.com to create a shipping label after we print and fill your order.
We then put your envelope or flat rate box into a larger box and ship them to our partner in BC (3 shipping days) and then they deliver the packages the next day to Blaine WA and leave at post office. Then your package enters USPS system and is delivered to you (1-3 Business days or so) We Ship a box every TUESDAY and FRIDAY!!
TRACKING NUMBERS -- They give us a tracking number for both 1st Class and Priority. Because this number WILL NOT work until your package arrives in the USA, we have stopped entering them into the shipping spot on the website. We were fielding too many email questions and concerns about the packages because it takes a few days for the packages to get to the USA. Please contact us after 2 weeks if your package hasn't arrived so we can look into it!
Our system collects CAD and we have to pay USD to ship your items... So if you paid more for your shipping, than your envelope shows, please remember there is an exchange difference, and we also have to pay to get your package to BC - Roughly a dollar or two each.
With all this extra work for Us - your package is going to get to you in roughly 1/3 of the time it would take Canada Post to deliver to you - for less money. This is a WIN WIN situation.
I have JUST MADE SOME CHANGES so you be able to chose 1st Class Mail or Priority Mail with tracking!! I'm doing my best to drop the prices so we collect acutal shipping as much as possible. We always make a credit if it does something screwy!! Thanks!!
Our Goals have always been the same - Give you the best possible service we can. I hope this helps!!
