Payment Options
We accept the following methods of payment:
-
Credit Card (Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover and Diner’s Club)

- The address must be confirmed by our credit card processor. As some Canadian banks
do not comply with the security standards of our credit card processor, the transaction
will require a manual verification of the information provided. In this case, we
will contact you by phone or email, and request your credit card number. During
manual verification, we are NOT charging your card a second time but simply verifying
the information with your credit card issuer.
- If your billing address is a PO Box, please make sure that you provide us with a
physical address for delivery.
- In some cases, we can ship your order to an alternate address (i.e., an address
other than the billing address of the credit card).

that account.

Pricing & Currency
The price displayed is based on your IP address. If you have a Canadian internet
provider, the prices will be displayed in Canadian currency. Conversely, if you
have a U.S. internet provider, prices will be displayed in U.S. currency. You can
verify the displayed currency by checking the small flag that is displayed near
the top right hand corner of the page you are viewing. If you find yourself on the
wrong side of the border, please
contact us
and we’ll try to help you.
Most products we sell to US customers are drop-shipped from our U.S. affiliates.
On the rare occasions when we do not have a U.S. supplier for the product, our price
then comes from a Canadian source and is converted to USD using the current currency
exchange rate. As the exchange rate varies, so do the U.S. prices on the products.
When you place the order, the price of the product you ordered is recorded in our
system and protected from daily fluctuations.
All Canadian orders are shipped from our Vancouver B.C. based warehouse or our Eastern
Ontario Hub, and are sourced out in most part from our Canadian Distributors. There
are absolutely no duties or brokerage fees added to your order, or charged to you
upon delivery.
We do not match prices with our U.S. competitors. As we are a Canadian online retailer,
we have a different price structure than our U.S. counterparts. Some of the products
that we sell may be cheaper than in the U.S., while others may be more expensive.
The difference in pricing is beyond our control. If you see a Canadian online company
that advertises a cheaper price, you are welcome to contact us with details. We
may match the price, provided that the product is in stock and ready to ship. The
product must be shipped from Canada. We will not price match over the phone.
