Shipping and Policies
Shipping Policy
For internet orders, our goal is to respond within 24 to 48 hours and ship the purchase as quickly as possible. No orders will be shipped on weekends or holidays.
Packages are shipped from our warehouse in Quebec City. We are not yet open for business. Depending on stock availability and manufacturers' capacities, you may have to wait a few weeks or even months to receive your products. Never forget that our knives are hand made. We will contact you in due course. This may also result in the splitting of orders if necessary.
Shipments that cross international borders may be detained by the country's customs agency. These delays are beyond our control. For this reason, all international shipments are accompanied by an electronic or physical commercial invoice. Couteaux Nagano Knives is not responsible for duties, local taxes and additional charges incurred by customs agencies.
We do not ship international packages marked "Gift" and we do not reduce the cost of the commercial invoice for the items contained therein. It is obviously illegal to do so.
Customers in Canada and the United States :
Canada - We ship with Canada Post's Expedited Parcel Service. In most cases, packages arrive at their destination in Canada within 2 to 7 business days. This service is insured and can be tracked.
United States - We ship with DHL Express service. In most cases, packages are delivered within 2 to 7 business days. (possibly 4 to 9 for Hawaii and Alaska) This service is insured and traceable.
Other shipping options exist, you can select your preferred service on the checkout page if you want faster service.
If your order is over 200 Canadian dollars (before taxes), we are pleased to offer FREE SHIPPING, at our expense, anywhere in Canada or the United States (including Hawaii and Alaska).
If your order is less than $200 CAD (before taxes), you can ship it directly from Canada Post, UPS or DHL for a fee.
International Shipping (outside of Canada and the United States) :
If your order is over $350 CAD (before taxes), we are pleased to offer FREE SHIPPING, excluding border fees and duties.
