  • We ship using high quality clear-plastic acid-free bags, foam-core backing (and sometimes fronting as well, depending on the item), or rigid mailing tubes for larger items.

  • We use Canada Post for most items and we are well-versed in all the rates and options for the U.S., Canada and Overseas. Our shipping rates are below the actual cost, and we combine items for free (or only a small fraction of the cost). You can verify rates at: canadapost.ca

  • We combine shipping on all maps and prints. There is no 'per item' charge.

  • Note that, since we are located in Canada, shipping to the U.S. takes longer than it does between two points within the U.S. We ALWAYS ship within two working day of receiving payment, and often ship the same day; however, we have no control over how long it takes from here.

  • Please contact us If you require Express delivery with tracking or for special assistance.

  • Sellers' fees are now tied to detailed feedback. Please remember where we are shipping from and that we ship at below our actual cost when you leave feedback about shipping times and/or costs.
