• We use UPS 24 hour shipping service.  Thereby anywhere UPS ships to within a 24 hour window we are able to offer this service.
• Locations are not limited to major cities.
• Please send an email with postal code, the city you live in and the number of packages you are interested in purchasing.  I can send a quote to you

• We are unable to ship packages to the Maritime Provinces.  UPS takes 48 hours to ship there, thereby we cannot fulfil the order properly.
