Shipping
We ship worldwide. Costs can vary depending on where you live, what level of
service and how much value your order is. Generally we ship using Canada
Post. We also will ship FedEx at your request. We WILL NOT ship any product
using UPS.
We do NOT ship decals rolled in a tube as some other companies do. Although
slightly more cost for shipping, we prefer to ship our product flat and protected
from bending. Have you ever tried to install a curled decal? It is not very easy.
Due to the low volume demand for model specific decals and adhesive shelf life,
BDesigns does not generally stock low volume decals or low volume vinyl
material. This ensures you get decals that are "fresh" and us not having to
stock materials that don't sell. Because of this, orders generally take from one
to two weeks to process after payment has cleared, before they ship.
Note - PayPal Users
Please ensure your shipping address is correct and up-to-date before you
initiate a payment. This will ensure packages do not get returned to us due to
old addresses. Returned items that are re-shipped will incurr a return and re-ship
charge to the customer, before the package is re-sent to you. (for
example, if original shipping cost was $10, an additional $20 would be required
to re-ship the product that was returned). The correct shipping address is the
responsibility of the customer as are other charges BDesigns has to pay to re-ship.
