Most common question by email and chat  " how much is shipping ?

For fabrics only use the bottom right section only and fill in the postal code only and residential yes/no

FedEx ( not Nusso) will charge an additional $2.50/box surcharge.to residential address.

it works well for the burlap, broadcloth  and unbleached cotton. otherwise you can adapt and guesstimate

If you fill in your postal code in the blue box (either the big one at the top or the small one in the middle on the right) the program will now calculate the shipping cost to your specific postal code. Now, when you enter the quantities you want in any of the other boxes, the shipping cost will update automatically in the big blue box entitled "Your Order Summary". It will calculate the precise costs as well as the number of boxes it will take to ship your order to you. Roughly speaking, 25-30 pounds of merchandise will fit into a box.

For 2  cartons ( pcs) or more the following is a quick estimate of your cost

Toronto: $10.50/box

Montreal: $11.75/box

Winnipeg: $13.40/box

Calgary/Edmonton: $16.20/box

Vancouver: $18.60/box

Single carton shipments are slightly higher
