SHIPPING POLICY
Responsibility
We are not responsible for orders that can not be delivered or that have not been received due to a recipient address error. Please ensure that the recipient’s address is correct and contact our customer service if your recipient has not received the order.
How to send an order to a different shipping address?
You can order a product and have it shipped to another address. You simply have to write down the address where you want the product to be delivered in shipping address. As a safety precaution, orders paid by credit card that must be shipped to an address other than that of the credit card owner may subject to verification. We reserve the right to cancel dubious orders.
What are the shipping fees?
Limited time Flat Rate: The shipping fees will be a flat rate calculated as more or less 10% on the total order amount before taxes for a limited time while our new online store will be in Beta version. Each package includes a $100 insurance. This amount of insurance can be increased by contacting us and additional fees could apply. Otherwise we can not be held responsible. The flat rate shipping applies for standard package that are not overweight or oversized (less than 5 kg and less than 1 sq.ft. box delivered by standard ground carrier).
Exceptions:
The Indian Craftsmen of Quebec reserves the right to change de flat shipping rate under any circumstances and without notice.
The flat shipping rate can vary under infrequent occurrence and applies to shipments of excessive weight or size or those arriving to Specific Postal Codes , especially remote areas for example region of central Quebec or difficult to access by carriers (example: Magdalen Islands, Kuujjuaq) .
Orders requiring multiple boxes may require additional charges.
In some cases, the shipping charge supplied to us at the time of checkout (and consequently, our reduced charge applied to you) changes. These changes are at the sole discretion of the shipper (Canada Post or Other). When there is a change of this kind we will contact you by email or phone (you may have to pay more if the charge was increased, or receive a refund because the shipping charge was reduced).

On demand, we offer COD (Collect on Delivery) orders to our customers that previously filled our COD AGREEMENT FORM.

Any unclaimed COD shipments fees ( sending and returning) will be charge to the customers account. Exception: for parcels sent on order against Reimbursement CR / (COD), the insurance is obligatory at the customer’s expense.
US and International orders:
At this time we only ship within Canada.
Tracking
Upon shipment, an email will be sent to track your order
Pre-Authorization Holds
To ensure customers are charged for their purchase only when items are shipped, a preauthorization equal to the amount of the order will be applied to the credit/debit card used for the transaction at the time of order. Preauthorization is the common practice within the banking industry of authorizing electronic transactions done with credit/debit card and holding the balance as unavailable either until the merchant settles the transaction or the hold is removed. Depending on the cardholder’s banking institution, a preauthorized hold may initially appear as a charge.
This bank hold is temporary, and only the actual charge will be applied to the card when the order is shipped.
Orders including multiple items may be shipped separately. Each individual shipment may have an additional preauthorization equal to the individual shipment value. Again, these holds are temporary and only the actual charge will be applied to the card when the order is shipped.
Please note, The Native Craftsmen of Quebec is not able to release the bank’s temporary hold on authorized funds and cannot be held responsible for the policies of the customer’s banking institution regarding the holding of preauthorized funds. Preauthorization fund holds last for varying periods, depending on the issuing card company’s policy. Should a concern arise regarding preauthorization, we strongly suggest contacting the issuing credit card company or bank directly.
