If you are offerding on multiple items, please wait until all of the items for the day are finished as combined shipping invoices have to be adjusted manually. Shipping by expedited parcel service within Canada $14.95. Canadian buyers can take their parcels up to 1kg for the same shipping rate as we do not have a small packet service available within the country.

Shipping to all other international destinations serviceable by small packet air / third party insurance 14.95**SHIPPING NEWS:
I can no longer insure small packet air shipments through Canada Post. A new service called \"tracked packet\" has been introduced at a much higher rate. The most economical solution is a combination of small packet air and third party insurance. I am now using Insurepost and the countries that they will not cover can be serviced by Xpresspost or tracked packet.*Small packet air service is no longer available for Thailand, Laos, Indonesia, Philippines, Russian Federation, Brazil or Slovenia.
If in doubt - just send an e mail and I can give you an exact quote to your specific destination.
