Canadian Shipping Information
80sTees ships to Canada! There are two pieces of
information that will determine your actual cost to buy from
80sTees.com. If you need help you can always email us at
or call us at 1-724-864-4550 from 9 AM to 5 PM

1) CURRENCY
CONVERSION
Our prices are shown in
US dollars. Your credit card issuing bank (Visa, MasterCard, Amex,
etc.) or PayPal will convert our charge in US dollars to Canadian
dollars. Your bank may also charge a currency conversion fee. This fee
is typically 1-5% of the total transaction cost. You can call the
number on the back of your card to get the exact rate.
This webpage will give you access to Visa’s current exchange rates.
2) SHIPPING COST
and TAXES
We use UPS**
to ship to Canada. 80sTees.com is a non-resident importer. This means
that when we ship packages to Canada through UPS, we first ship them to
ourselves (but UPS acts as an agent for us because we do not actually
have a presence in Canada).
By shipping the package
to ourselves first we pay the brokerage fees and customs taxes for you.
We do this by consolidating many shipments into one and only paying one
brokerage fee. We then charge you the 13% sales tax and pay it
ourselves. This means that the money you pay to 80sTees.com is your
total cost. There will be no surprises when you receive your package.
Because we consolidate
packages to keep from charging our Canadian customers’ brokerage fees we
typically ship our packages to Canada twice per week. Because of this
your package may not ship on the day you place your order.
Please see our time in transit map below. The time
in transit starts on the day your package is shipped.
To determine your
shipping price please use our
Calculate Shipping link after adding at least one item to
your shopping cart to determine your shipping costs. You can find the
estimate shipping link on our product pages as well as on the shopping
cart pages.
**There are some remote areas of Canada
where UPS does not offer service. We offer the following two services
for those customers. Please note that using the following shipping
methods may result in brokerage fees and you will have to pay your own
13% tax.
