What are your payment terms?
All orders are prepaid (paid in full at time of ordering). Please place your orders using the shopping cart and the secure payment gateway. We do not keep your credit card details on file. The only details we keep after an order has been sent are your email address and name, in order to let you know of any specials or sales or special events.

What about Taxes or Duty?
The HST taxes are automatically added to your order (or not) when you enter your address into the system. Local taxes, duty, import taxes etc. are the responsibility of the purchaser and would usually be paid before the purchase is released to you by the post office. If you are not sure about the tax expected, contact the customs department or an express courier service in your country to find out more.

What do I do about RETURNS or EXCHANGES?
We don’t accept returns but we will gladly exchange your item for one that fits provided we have been notified as soon as possible of your exchange. We’d like to know within 48 hours of you receiving your order as confirmed by the Canada Post shipping records. Just call us or email us. After this period we have the right to refuse an exchange. Once we promptly acknowledge, via email, your desire to exchange an item, it must be returned as soon as possible within 30 days. Once we receive the returned item, we will send out an alternate size immediately.

Payment of the exchange shipping is shared – you pay to return it to me and I’ll pay to send you the exchange item. Don’t ship Exchanges by UPS or Fedex etc.

We have been in business since 1987 and our catalogue has been online since 1995. We have had very few exchanges in all the thousands of orders we have filled over the years because of our good customer service prior to ordering.
