No hard feelings Pat, let me explain our shipping policy. Our minimum shipping charge is $15.00 on all orders regardless of the cost of the purchase. Yes, I know it can seem a little steep for smaller orders but let me explain why there is a $15 charge.

Generally speaking, 75% of that is the shipping charges/fuel surcharges. The remaining 25% is for insurance and a required signature. One other thing to note is we ship Expedited parcel not regular mail which is usually a day or two quicker within Ontario.

Not only are we protecting ourselves with the insurance/signature option but that is a big benefit to you as well. Let’s say your package gets lost in the mail. Because we have the insurance on it we don’t wait for the package to be found or a settlement with Canada Post made…we just ship you out a new order and we deal with the lost item on the back end.

I know for smaller orders it may seem like a bit much but I hope that better explains why we charge what we charge.
