Currently, I am using Canada Post for all my shipping. You are responsible for any additional charges from US or international customs. I use standard shipping unless otherwise requested. I do not list items as gifts.
I don't recommend the use of other major couriers as their charges for clearing items are prohibitive - it can be very surprising! I do use insurance at this time.
All my items come gift wrapped, with recycled packaging. This is decorative, but is constructed out of materials round my house. (ie. handmade origami boxes) The wrapping also helps to protect the item in shipping!
Typically, shipping to the US is between 5-10 days from here.
If you require insurance or a registered package, let me know as this will require additional shipping charges.
