Shipping Policy

Update from November 15, 2024:  Canada Post Labour Disruption
Due to the disruption of Canada Post services (national strike), Canadian customers may experience delays in the delivery of their orders, with customers in P.O. boxes, fly-in communities and/or remote areas experiencing further delays.
CWS will not be shipping with Canada Post during this time; and will be shifting all shipments to alternate carriers. 

Orders currently in transit with Canada Post will unfortunately experience delays. We will keep you updated as soon as we know more. We appreciate your understanding during this time.
