Shipping
-
Transport: Because it’s light and compact, you can load it onto a roof rack, truck bed, or SUV with relative ease.
Storage: Store it in a dry, shaded place; avoid prolonged exposure to UV or extreme heat; remove gear/debris after use; rinse with fresh water if used in saltwater or area with debris.
-
Yes. We ship across Canada using Freightera, which provides the most cost-effective freight options for large items like canoes.
-
The most economical method is to have your canoe shipped to the nearest rail or freight depot. You simply pick it up when it arrives, which avoids costly residential delivery fees. After your order is placed, we’ll contact you to confirm the closest depot and arrange the shipment.
-
Squarespace doesn’t integrate directly with Freightera, so accurate freight rates can’t be displayed during checkout. Instead, you’ll initially see standard checkout options, but your final shipping cost is calculated manually based on your location and chosen depot. We’ll confirm the rate with you before the canoe ships.
