Shipping cost

Freight is quoted with each order. You may also ship on your own carrier account; provide the account number and service level on the PO.

Tracking

Tracking numbers or the freight PRO number are emailed when the order ships.

Receiving

Count cartons and inspect for damage before signing. Note any damage on the delivery receipt and photograph it. Signing a clean receipt can void a carrier damage claim.

Risk of loss

Title and risk pass to the buyer when goods are handed to the carrier, unless otherwise agreed in writing. We assist with carrier claims for shipments we booked.

Delivery options

  • Liftgate: needed when your site has no loading dock.
  • Appointment: required by most retail distribution centres and marketplace warehouses.
  • Inside delivery: available for some freight shipments at extra cost.
  • Residential: carriers charge a surcharge for home addresses.

Insurance and declared value

Shipments we book are insured to their invoice value. If you use your own carrier account, insurance is your responsibility; we recommend declaring the full value on high-value shipments such as cameras, drones and laptops.

Lithium batteries

Laptops, phones, tablets, cameras and drones contain lithium-ion batteries. Ground shipments within North America follow carrier rules for batteries packed in or with equipment. Air shipments follow IATA dangerous goods regulations, and spare batteries may need separate packing. We label and declare every shipment correctly.

Holidays and peak season

We do not ship on Canadian statutory holidays. From November to January, carriers are busier and transit times can stretch by 1–3 days, so order earlier for holiday stock.
