Shipping Costs into Canada

As many of you know, Cast your Anchor is Canada’s only marine hobby store specializing in ship models, boat kits, radio control sail and powerboats, tools, fittings and accessories all under one roof.

We have recently read that many ship model hobbyists are complaining about the cost of shipping ship model products into Canada from the USA.

So here's a comparison

Shipping cost for up to ten fittings
Competitor cost $38.99 Cast Your Anchor cost $4.50

Shipping cost for most tools
Competitor cost $42.88 Cast Your Anchor cost $17.50

Shipping cost for a medium size ship model kit
Competitor cost $47.99 Cast Your Anchor cost $26.50

Shipping cost for a large ship model kit
Competitor cost $53.99 Cast Your Anchor cost $38.50

There have also been complaints about shipping a few items in a large box which would add to the cost of shipping. At Cast Your Anchor, all shipping vessels match the size of the product. In other words our customers don’t pay to ship air!

And lastly, you’ll notice that our shipping costs are on the splash page not buried inside of our website. At Cast Your Anchor you know what your total cost to purchase a product is right up front.
