Canadian Shipments

In an effort to decrease brokerage and import/export fees to our Canadian customers, we have created an arrangement with UPS in which we combine several Canadian orders into one shipment from our Idaho warehouse. This decreases the brokerage fees for each order.

We calculate all import/export fees to be at 10% of the product total. Orders shipped as a single shipment (not in a combined UPS shipment) on average would cost 30% of the product total.

For example, $200 of product will now cost $20 in import/export fees (Container & Packaging Supply will pay for any extra fees). This same order shipped as a single shipment would cost $60 in import/export fees.

We have never included import/export fees in quoted shipping costs, so while quoted rates look higher than what we have historically quoted, your total costs will now be less due to our combined shipment arrangments with UPS.

Please note that we cannot use our brokerage discounts on shipments leaving our Kentucky warehouse. This means that for shipments from Kentucky to Canada, customers will be charged brokerage fees and taxes at the time fo delivery. We attempt to ship everything to Canada from Idaho in order to minimize Kentucky shipments.

• If you are looking for a matching lid for the container you want, just look on the right-hand column (right where you are reading now) on the Item Detail page, and you'll find matching closures! (click to see an example)

We are moving our Richmond Virginia warehouse to Louisville Kentucky to provide more rapid shipping for more of our customers. The move will finish early June 2008.
