Shipping etc.

Shipping

All items will be shipped via Canada Post unless otherwise specified.

All custom made Bytown Ukuleles will be shipped free anywhere in Canada via Regular Parcel Post and should arrive within 7 days in most cases. Service to some areas may result in your delivery arriving in as little as 3 days (eg. Toronto), while other areas could take as long as 14 days (eg. Yukon).

During the checkout process when purchasing a Mainland ukulele, you will have the option in most cases to choose either "Regular Parcel Post" or "Express Post". The prices calculated, with either shipping option, include packaging and insurance.
