Most customers combine small orders into a single project to avoid order minimum fees and to get everything to ship together.

Shipping orders to our Canadian customers is done via FedEx International and the cost is determined by the weight of the order plus 10% of the invoice total once it is complete. Because of this, it is hard to estimate the shipping cost until the order is done. To help estimate these costs, you can add 10% of the invoice total to the shipping cost below:

Weight Shipping Cost
1-2 lbs $12.20
3-4 lbs $17.82
5-6 lbs $23.88
7-10 lbs $34.10

Here is an example: If your order weighs 3 lbs, and the invoice is $20 – your shipping charge would be $17.82 + ($20* 10%) = $19.82

If you cannot see prices, it is likely you aren’t logged in.
