Close Please note: Due to a strike but the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) which began at midnight on Friday Nov 15th Canada Post has been forced to suspend services. Unfortunately since I rely upon the global postal network for shipping I will be unable to ship orders until further notice. You are welcome to continue to shop, ask questions and even submit orders during the postal service interruption but orders cannot be shipped until service resumes. At this time negotiations continue between CUPW and Canada Post but it is not known when postal service will be restarted. If you wish place an order I will not process the order or the payment until I contact you by email for specific directions.

Please contact me if you have questions or concerns.

Thank you for your patronage and understanding.

Shipping Information

 

Shipping - General
Most in stock items are shipped within 3 business days. Additional time may be required for used items. Refurbished goods may take up to 7 to 10 days to complete the refurbishing process.

Our store uses a sophisticated shipping tool from Canada Post to provide real time calculations of combined shipping charges. In the event that the Canada Post server times out or is off-line, the shipping charges displayed may not be correct. KHB Photografix reserves the right to adjust shipping charges to correct amounts if necessary. You will be notified of any such changes prior to any charges to your credit card. There may also be combinations of products for which all shipping discounts cannot be automatically calculated. We will apply any additional discounts applicable when your order is reviewed prior to processing.   

Limitations on the size and weight of parcels vary from country to country. This may limit the shipping options available, or otherwise restrict shipment by post of some items. Should this occur, please contact us for alternate shipping options.
