United States: Temporary Suspension of Sales

We love our US customers and value your business!  That being said, we need to temporarily suspend orders to the United States while we figure out how to adjust to the new rules and procedures for shipping cross border with the suspension of the $800 USD de minimus exemption that  typically covers most of our shipments.

Typically, we ship all packages DDU (Delivered Duty Unpaid), duties are payable by the receiver.  With the new changes, Canada Post (our main shipping service) and some of the courier shippers are only accepting DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) labels, meaning duties need to be prepaid.  

As a small business, we cannot absorb these costs and need to be sure that our system is correctly calculating the duties required and most of the shippers are not yet clear on how these duties ultimately get assessed (By US Customs/CBP) and billed back to the shop.

While you can still see the shop and our products, you will be unable to checkout with a US shipping address during this time.  Should you be in dire need of a specific item, please contact the shop to see what shippers we can offer that will still ship DDU.

International Shipments: Import and Customs Information

We are still shipping internationally aside from the United States exception noted above!

All products are clearly identified on customs forms with the place of origin, where the item was manufactured, the HS Code, how customs identifies the item being shipped, weight of the item and the price paid.  

Most of our products are imported and do not fall under CUSMA as the bulk of the fabric that we carry is printed in Pakistan, South Korea, Indonesia, Japan and China.   Many of the notions  and hardware that we stock are produced in China, along with Taiwan.  All new products being entered into the system will have this information listed in the item description, please contact the shop if you have a question on the country of origin of an item that is not listed.

Standard Shipping Policy

Shipping is available and is fulfilled by Canada Post or courier, at our discretion.  Shipping is automatically calculated at checkout by weight using Canada Post as the default shipper.   

We said goodbye to Local Delivery in May 2025.  If you are local to Hamilton, meetups can still occur to help you get your fabric - please email the shop prior to ordering to co-ordinate.

We still offer the following shipping options:

Curbside Pick-up (Free)

• Available in Binbrook, ON. 
• Please note that this is a residential address and appointments are necessary for pick-up.   
• You will be e-mailed when your order is ready and to schedule your pick-up appointment.  (Typically within 24 hours)
• If you are looking for a specific pick-up time in advance, feel free to contact us and see if we can accommodate!  

Flat Rate Delivery on Qualifying Orders (includes tracking and insurance)

• Orders of $75 or more will ship for $10 Flat Rate in Canada.
• Temporarily Suspended - Orders of $75 or more will ship for $16 Flat Rate in the US. (we are not accountable for any additional taxes or duties that customs may apply)
• Orders will ship utilizing the most economic option.

Free Delivery on Qualifying Orders (includes tracking and insurance)

Shipping Overages (Updated October 2024)

• Shipping overages (on domestic orders) of $2 or more (before taxes) will be automatically refunded when your order is fulfilled. 
• Shipping overages (on international orders) of $5 or more (before taxes, in Canadian dollars) will be refunded upon the parcel's arrival.
• This occurs mainly on smaller orders that we can reduce the standard package size on or if we are able to take advantage of an alternate carrier for less than Canada Post quoted.

Oversized Lettermail & Non-tracked International Shipping Options

We don't offer this service as there have been issues in the past with orders not arriving, tracking offers the best way to keep track of your order in case anything happens. We apologize as we realize that these options offer a more economical rate to receive your order.  

As a small business, we can't afford to replace your order if it goes missing, as such, we will only be offering tracked shipping services that offer liability coverage going forward.  This protects both our customers and our business.  All orders come with default insurance covering the cost of the order up to $100.  If your order total is greater and you want increased insurance, please contact the shop. 

Thank you for understanding!

Packages are the responsibility of the shipping service once they are picked up and we are unable to make any guarantees regarding service.

All packages come automatically with up to $100 in insurance and if you would like to add more, please contact the shop prior to placing your order.  

That being said, if  you require help to find your package or to contact the shipping provider, please contact us and we will help in any way we can.
