Canadian Orders
Costume Discounters delivers orders to all Canadian provinces between 1-8 business days from the date your order is shipped, depending on the service level you select. We generally find deliveries to Canadian addresses occur within our estimated timelines, however we cannot control exact delivery times and do not guarantee delivery dates. Most Canadian orders leave our warehouse within 1 business day from the time the order is placed. Business days are Monday ? Friday, excluding US holidays. Note that while our orders ship quickly, our policy of same day shipping on orders placed before 3 PM EST does not apply to Canadian Orders.
Delivery Options
Our Canadian orders ship via UPS. We offer two shipping options to Canada: Standard and Express Shipping. Normal delivery times are the following:
- Standard: 3-8 business days
- Express: 1-3 business days
If your order is being shipped to a city or major metropolitan area, you will receive your package in the lower end of the range of shipping times. Rural and remote areas of Canada will experience shipping times on the longer end of the ranges listed above.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Costume Discounters is not responsible for packages delayed by customs.
