A. For U.S. customers:
USPS Priority: about two weeks (to U.S. addresses) from the time you submit your order.

Why does it take so long?

We create your order just for you, using your words and instructions. Your order is a work of art created by a specialized typography artist. In the first week your items are created by a skilled designer, proofed by a second designer, proofs are created and emailed to you (for most orders), any needed changes are made, your items are printed, quality checked, cut into sheets and/or sets, and carefully packaged for shipping. After it is packaged, your order will take about a week to get to you.

A. For Canadian customers:
You can expect to receive your order within four weeks if you order online with standard (non-rush) processing. It takes one week to create and print your order, then about three weeks to ship to you. Most orders ship via USPS Priority Mail International. Orders to some Canadian addresses are shipped via UPS Expedited Service and arrive three weeks after we ship. Please be aware that you may need to retrieve your package at Canada Post if it was shipped by Priority Mail International. Please contact your local Canada Post Office for information regarding possible customs processing delays. My Own Labels is not responsible for shipping delays, including customs-related delays.

Those owning businesses in Canada who are purchasing for resale pay 5% GST (Goods and Services Tax) on the cost of the products (not shipping) as required by the CRA. If you are an individual purchasing for personal use, the CRA imposes a 5% GST in addition to PST (Provincial Sales Tax). According to NAFTA (North American Free Trade Agreement) Canadians do not pay duties on items purchased from businesses residing in the United States. Duties are separate from the GST and PST.
