Important! US customers may be subject to additional fees (duty, taxes or brokerage) once the parcel passes through customs. Customers will be notified of these fees once their package is processed though customs. We have no control or way of knowing what these fees may be and if you select UPS shipping, you are agreeing to pay these fees. We can confirm, via customer testimonials, that the majority of our US customers have not incurred any additional fees from customs.
We apologize but we cannot offer UPS shipping to International orders at this time.
Please contact us at info@discoverytrekking.com if you have questions.

We work as quickly as we can to fulfill orders in a timely manner, however due to high order volume it may take up to 5 business days to process and ship your order. During store sales like our Annual November Sale, this can increase up to 15 business days. During our annual physical store closure from noon on December 24th to January 1st, we operate with a reduced staff to fill online orders. For this reason, order fulfilment may be delayed over this short period.
We ship worldwide to most domestic and international addresses via Canada Post. Transit times are approximate and are estimated between Major Urban Centers. We are located on Vancouver Island and transit times are often a few days more than Canada Post's estimates.
Shipping rates for our products are weight based. Sometimes adding a few more yards of fabric or adjusting your order slightly will reduce cost per yard shipping charges. If you have questions or concerns about shipping cost, please contact our helpful sales team and we will do our best to ship your order at a minimal cost.
