2. Shipping Options and Pricing
We offer several options to best suit your needs and budget, always ensuring your item is securely packaged.

Fee Calculation: Shipping fees are calculated in real-time based on your address, the item's weight/dimensions, and the chosen service.

Typical Costs: The average cost for shipping a standard-sized package containing one or two Doujinshi or Artbooks within Canada is typically around $15 CAD (using Certified Mail Delivery with tracking). Since shipping rates are based on the total package weight, combining multiple items into a single order is always the most cost-effective option for our customers. International rates will vary.
Minimum Purchase: No minimum purchase is required to place an order.
Detailed Shipping Options:
Standard Mail (Economy Option):
This option is available only for low-value, small items (such as single cards) to offer significant savings on shipping costs.
Warning: This shipping method does not include a tracking number and does not offer insurance or protection against loss or damage in transit. We strongly recommend this option only for items you are willing to replace.
Certified Mail Delivery (Canada Post or Purolator):
This option includes a tracking number and is mandatory for all Artbooks, Doujinshi, Figures, and high-value items. It always includes the standard insurance offered by the carrier, providing peace of mind.
3. Order Tracking
Tracking Number: For all certified mail shipments (including Purolator and Canada Post tracked options), a tracking number will be provided to you by email within 48 hours of your order being shipped. You will then be able to track your package directly on the carrier's website.
4. International Shipments (Customs Duties and Taxes)
We are happy to ship our products to most countries around the world.
If your order is being shipped outside of Canada:
Buyer's Responsibility: Any customs duties, import taxes, brokerage fees, or other charges levied by your country or the carrier are the sole responsibility of the buyer at the time of delivery.
We recommend checking with your local customs office for potential fees before placing your order.
