Pickup/Delivery

Pickup is in Richmond, British Columbia, Canada. On weekdays, I may be able to meet in Kerrisdale, Vancouver.

Public meetup at Lansdowne SkyTrain metro station, or any Richmond RCMP office, is available free-of-charge.

Personal delivery, including meeting with you elsewhere, can be arranged for a surcharge.

Shipping

All orders are generally shipped within two business days. We generally don’t work on Canadian federal or B.C. provincial holidays.

Orders within Canada

Orders within Canada are shipped by Purolator, UPS, Canada Post, ICS, or Sendle. If you have a preference, please contact us, but we unfortunately cannot accommodate all requests.

Shipping prices can vary. In general, a PC can be shipped for CDN$20 to urban B.C., and CDN$40 to the rest of Canada. However, this varies, so please contact us for an exact shipping cost.

Orders to the U.S. and abroad

Orders are generally shipped with UPS or Canada Post. Canada Post hands off parcels to the local postal service, such as USPS or Royal Mail, who will deliver your package.

Buyers are solely responsible for the taxes, duties, customs fees, and tariffs. However, we do try to make arrangements to prepay these; if an arrangement is made, but these fees are still due on delivery, please let us know immediately.

Shipping prices can vary. In general, a PC can be shipped for US$35 to the U.S., and US$200 to the rest of the world. However, this varies, so please contact us for an exact shipping cost.
