After the Canada Post strike, we still use mostly UPS or Canpar for shipments!
shipment to PO Box addresses still maybe delayed.
Our Shipment Service providers may shift without prior notice because of quickly changing circumstances in Canadian parcel delivery services. We appreciate your patience, as small businesses such as we at Needle & Arts adapt our shipping operations to best serve our customers amidst difficult conditions.

Shipping/Handling Rates
We want to keep shipping rates reasonable for you! Therefore, we offer low flat rates and refund overpaid postage if we can:
shipment to the US: $14.99 basic price per shipment plus $0.75 per ordered item
shipment within BC: $12.99 basic price per shipment plus $0.75 per ordered item
shipment to Western Canadian Provinces: $15.99 basic price per shipment plus $0.85 per ordered item
shipment to Eastern Canadian Provinces: $18.99 basic price per shipment plus $0.95 per ordered item
For example, a shipment of any 6 items to the US would cost $14.99 + $4.50 = Can $19.49.
If you order a large number of items and the flat rate exceeds the actual rate - in this case we will definitely refund you the difference!
