Did you know that our customers only pay approximately 30% of the total shipping bill we receive in an average month? We subsidise the other 70%.
CANADIAN CUSTOMERS
All orders are shipped from within Canada - no hidden customs or brokerage fees to worry about. Phone orders under $300.00 will be charged an additional handling fee of $10.00. All shipping rates are based on product value before any applicable taxes. Please note that we do not allow any items to be picked up from our location. We are a mail order company offering deep discounts. Allowing customers to pick up orders and browse our product selection would greatly impair our ability to process and ship orders in a timely manner.

*SHIPPING RATE EXCEPTIONS MAY INCLUDE: Pond liners, , aquarium kits, preformed ponds, salt, chillers, screen tops, some items over 24" long, gravel, and a few other heavy/over-sized items. Any additional shipping that must be applied to an item will be clearly displayed before adding the item to your shopping cart and you may have to select your region to add the correct shipping rate when you add the item to your shopping cart.
Most orders are processed and shipped within 1 business day pending credit card approval. Orders placed on weekends or holidays will not be processed for at least one business day.
We do our best to keep all items listed in stock. From time to time our suppliers will be out of stock on certain items or we may be sold out and were not able to update right away. If an item is out of stock and we do not expect to be able to ship your order within 4 business days we will contact you unless the missing items are valued at less than $30. If the item(s)are valued at less than $30.00 we may cancel them from your order. If an item valued at $30.00 or more is back ordered we will ship it at no extra charge once it becomes available unless it is noted that the item is sold at time of order placement. If an item is listed as being sold out or unavailable when the order is placed its value will not count towards the free shipping minimum and it will be cancelled from your order without notification.
We ship most orders through UPS or Canada Post's "Expedited Service" to any location in Canada except "Air Stage Areas" (see list at bottom of this page) and a select few very remote or poorly serviced areas. Customers in these areas should contact us for shipping rates or will be contacted after their order is placed to discuss shipping options and costs.
Once we ship a parcel within Canada it will usually be received in 1-2 business days for major local centers (in south-central Ontario), 1-3 business days within Ontario or Quebec and 2-6 business days nationally. For security reasons Canada Post does not allow any changes or corrections to an address once a parcel has been shipped.
U.S. orders are shipped via UPS or Canada Post ground service and usually take 6 to 9 business days. Some US orders may be delayed at customs for a few days.
Due to potentially freezing temperatures we can not be held responsible for any leaking, broken or frozen liquids or test kits during the winter season. It is very rare for any liquid items to freeze unless they are under 500ml (16oz.) and, or they are being shipped during extremely cold weather or to a remote, northern destination.
ORDER ERRORS AND MODIFICATIONS
If you have made a mistake on your order and need to notify us or if you need to cancel your order please email us immediately as some orders are shipped withing minutes. In order to keep orders moving smoothly we do not allow for any additions or modifications to be made to submitted orders.
ADDRESS ERROR / UNCLAIMED PARCELS
If an item is returned to us as unclaimed or because an incorrect or incomplete address is provided by the customer the customer will be responsible for the actual shipping costs to have the item returned to us and back to the customer. Common address errors include a missing buzz code, PO Box number or apartment number. This information must appear in the ship to address, not in the comments section. Once an order is shipped it is not possible to have Canada Post make any changes or corrections to the ship to address. UPS will allow address changes at a cost of $22.00 per parcel.
DELIVERY CLAIMS
While we strive to get all orders out within 1-2 days we can not guarantee the service provided by the shipping company or courier handling your order. If a claim for lost or damaged items is required we are happy to make the claim, however we are not able to make claims for late delivery.
ORDERING INFORMATION
Orders can be placed through our easy to use on-line shopping cart system.
