Canada Shipping Explained
In an effort to eliminate surprises or unexpected shipping related charges" - we must speak or email with you before we ship your order. Orders with Canada shipping addresses will not be processed until Mainely Urns and customer agree on shipping method and cost via phone or email.
We apologize in advance for this extra step (we don't like it either). Trust us, it will make the process much smoother and you'll appreciate it in the long run.
After you submit your order you will receive a shipping quote within 1 business day. Alternatively you may contact us via phone or email 866.516.1296 service@mainelyurns.com.Your order will remain on HOLD" until a delivery method is chosen and confirmed by you.
Canada orders are put on "HOLD" and not shipped until the following are discussed on the phone an or confirmed via email with a Mainely Urns representative:
- Carrier options or limitations available for my item(s)
- Approximate transit times
- Taxes and duties are your responsibility. We have no control over them.

Shipping to Canada is becoming increasingly expensive and complex. We apologize for this extra step (we don't like it either) but by communicating with you we will be able to inform you regarding delivery transit times, carrier options, pricing, taxes, brokerage charges etc and then allow you to choose how the items are shipped...or cancel your order. Heavier memorials, expensive items or items that ship exclusively UPS or FedEx can be much more expensive to ship to Canada and we want to inform you of every option available.
