Shipping, Payment and Returns Policies

Payment

PayPal

Use the web cart buttons located throughout the site to choose what you like.

If there is no button beside the item it'll be a custom-knitted item and you'll have to E-mail me with the details of what you're looking for so that I can work out pricing and delivery for you. For special items, we'll work out exactly what you're looking for and I'll send you a Paypal Request for Payment in Canadian Funds. Paypal will automatically convert to your local currency on your end. Once I see the request has been paid, I'll ship your order.

Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Cash

In person at shows or during a private showing at my shop I'll take credit cards using Square. Good old-fashioned cash is always welcome.


Shipping

Outside Canada, over 1kg: Canada Post Expedited Parcel

Within Canada, delivery is 3 - 6 business days, delivery to the USA is about 6 - 12 business days, other international destinations are up to 30 business days. For orders of $80.00 CDN or under, shipping is $20.00. For orders over $80.00 CDN I take care of the shipping expenses. 

Overseas Shipping

Since overseas rates vary greatly, overseas shipping charges will be added on an order - by- order basis. After you make your purchase via PayPal I'll contact you with the Overseas shipping rate. If the rate is not satisfactory to you, your order will be canceled and your payment refunded.

Customs, Taxes and Duties

These will be added to your order by the Customs Agency of your country if you live outside Canada and you will be required to pay them when you pick up your order. These charges vary from country to country and item to item. I wish they didn't exist, but they do. While we'll do what we can to minimize these charges from here, the Customs rules seem to always be changing and they are difficult to keep up with.

Custom Orders

Once we've worked out the details for your custom order I'll need a 25% non-refundable deposit to begin work on your special item. Balance is due upon completion of the work, and must be sent before the order is shipped.

Unclaimed Orders

Every effort will be made to contact you once your special order item is completed. If for some reason I am unable to contact you, the custom order will be held for you for 90 days from the date of completion. If the order is not paid in full by then, you lose your deposit and it goes into my regular stock of items to be sold for the balance owing. If it cannot be sold, it will be taken apart and used for other items.

Order Damaged Upon Receipt

Goods damaged in shipping are the responsibility of the courier. Please report any damaged goods claims to the carrier.

Incorrect Order

If what you received is not what you ordered (wrong size, wrong item(s), wrong style, missing item(s)), please contact me and let me know. I'll do what is necessary to make things right.

Order Not as Expected

I make every effort to accurately represent the item(s) you are buying. If you are simply not happy with your order, please contact me for return instructions. You can return your order for exchange. No Refunds. Returned items will be charged a 25% restocking fee. Items shipped to you under exchange will be charged a shipping fee for delivery via Canada Post Expedited Parcel.
