Shipping Policy

The Puzzle Nerds does not guarantee delivery dates. Delivery dates are estimated by the specific carrier and are subject to change.

We ship via UPS, ICS, GLS, Purolator, FedEx, Canpar and Canada Post within Canada and estimated delivery time is 3-9 business days.
Only Canada Post delivers to Post Office Boxes.
Orders are typically sent out for shipment within one business day of receipt.

*Oversized items are marked as such in the item description and DO NOT qualify for free shipping in Canada. Special shipping rates apply for shipment of these items.  

Shipping to the United States

We ship via Canada Post/USPS. Estimated delivery time is 3-9 days and is subject to change by the carriers.

NOTE: we ship only to the contiguous United States, therefore we do not ship to Alaska, Hawaii or other offshore territories of the U.S. (Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa, Northern Mariana Islands, U.S. Virgin Islands, etc.).

We do not ship to U.S. Post Office boxes or Army Post Office (APO) addresses. 

The shipping charge to all valid addresses in the contiguous United States is a live shipping rate, which will be calculated at checkout. 

Orders shipped outside of Canada will be subject to tariff, duty and import charges. These and any additional charges are the responsibility of the recipient and will be listed at checkout.

We do not issue refunds for any packages that are returned to us from a carrier due to being undeliverable to a U.S. address. Please ensure all your shipping information is accurate.

** We are unfortunately not able to ship any of our large or oversized items to the United States. These items are marked as such in the item description.
