Even though Canada Post is currently facing a rotating strike, we want to assure you that your orders are still shipping smoothly! 💌
During this period, you’ll be able to choose among three carriers for any shipment within Canada: 📦 Canada Post (Free Shipping option), 🚚 Purolator and 🚀 UPS
Our Free Shipping will continue to be offered through Canada Post, as it remains the most affordable and reliable choice for small Canadian businesses like ours.
To give you an idea, the same parcel that costs $11.86 with Canada Post would be $23.97 with Purolator — a huge difference that helps us keep our prices fair and our service accessible.
What is a rotating strike? It simply means the postal union moves strike actions region by region — for example, last week Fort St. John (BC) was affected, while Quebec, Ontario, and most other provinces continued to operate normally.
Thank you so much for supporting local — and for your patience while Canada Post navigates this temporary situation. 💕
Your parcel (and our team) truly appreciate it!

Our Shipping Policies
You have a question about shipping?
Processing your order
All orders are processed in the order we receive them. There may be a delay of 24 to 48 hours allowing the preparation of the order.
Please take note that orders placed during the weekend do not leave our premises until the following Monday. The delivery time is therefore calculated from Tuesday, if it is a business day.
Once your order has been shipped, you will receive a confirmation email.
You will receive a tracking number from Canada Post or UPS so you can track your package.
We deliver to any valid Canadian or international address, providing they are in an authorized country (the countries are listed above in the International Shipping Fees section).
Sales tax
As in store, sales taxes are applied on items bought on 1861.ca, in compliance with federal and provincial laws, according to your order's total value and the shipping address.
Orders shipped internationally or to the United States are not currently submitted to any sales tax. These conditions may change without notice.
Problem with the delivery
If a package is returned to us because it was not claimed by you, refused by you, or due to a delivery attempt to a wrong address, we will refund the merchandise minus the shipping fees charged by Canada Post or UPS. Alternatively, you can pay the shipping fees in order to have your package sent again.
