Why Have Shipping Rates Increased to Canada, the UK, and the EU?Updated 4 hours ago

We’ve recently adjusted our shipping rates to Canada, the United Kingdom, and the European Union due to changes in our fulfillment operations and rising carrier costs.



Why the rates changed


There are two key reasons for the increase:

1. Fulfillment shift to the United States

  • In the past, we shipped many products locally within Canada, the UK, and the EU.

  • Now, most orders are fulfilled from U.S. warehouses, which naturally leads to higher international shipping costs.


2. Carrier rate increases

  • Global economic conditions have affected supply chains and fuel costs.

  • As a result, shipping carriers have raised their prices, particularly for international delivery.



What this means for you

  • Shipping to these regions is still available, but the rates reflect the increased cost of international transport.

  • We continue to offer reliable, trackable shipping options to ensure safe delivery of your order.



Looking ahead

We’re actively exploring ways to reduce costs and improve delivery times, including:

  • Adding regional fulfillment options in the future

  • Negotiating with carriers for better rates

  • Offering promotions or free shipping thresholds when possible



Additional Questions


Q: Why can’t you ship from within my country anymore?

A: Due to operational changes, we’ve consolidated fulfillment in the U.S. for better inventory management and product consistency.


Q: Will local shipping options return?

A: We’re looking into this. If and when local fulfillment resumes, we’ll update our customers accordingly.


Q: Do higher shipping rates affect customs or VAT?

A: Shipping costs are separate from any duties, taxes, or import fees, which are handled by your local government. These remain unchanged by our shipping policy.
