Postage will vary depending on your location relative to the shipping +address. Regular First Class or Airmail post will be used unless special +arrangements are made. Note that regular postal service is not a trackable +service (you knew that, right?), and shipping is FOB our depot. Say "please +insure" in the comments, if you want postal insurance. + +

Items lost in the regular mail are at your risk and expense, but we only +charge cost of materials to replace them, so paying the $10 (or even $30 +outside of North America!) additional postage and insurance (partly due to +having to change to an insurable class of mailing) costs more than normal +postage and replacement of a CD ROM set at cost of materials (go figure!). + +

Less than 1% of items go missing in the mail; it might be yours, yet +paying for postal insurance is an expensive gamble. But if you absolutely +can't stand risk, do insure by all means. In North America consider +specifying Express Mail +(trackable), +or a courier like FEDEX (also trackable). + +

Note that shipping cost for a CD set is therefore expected to be around $3 - +$5 USD (yes, that is in addition to the base $30 USD price). Packages will +generally be mailed from Calgary, Alberta, Canada. (Some US orders are +mailed from a US depot -- but unlikely at initial release time). Typical +airmail postage rates for quantity 1 are roughly:

+ +If you want your CD to come very quickly, you can choose Fedex or UPS +overnight. Note, that for single CD's it is cheaper to get overnight +delivery than to get 2 or 3 day delivery! If you choose overnight, +you very likely do NOT want to use the Internet web ordering system, +but rather want to order your package by phoning the Computer Shop phone +number (403 243-4356). By phoning before 3PM Mountain Time, you can usually +have it by early the next morning! + +

If you are ordering the CD plus other items, consider having only the CD +sent by overnight and other things by regular airmail or express post. CD's +are relatively inexpensive to send by courier (we class them as documents), +whereas T-shirts, and especially posters, are quite expensive that way. + +

For Canada, and USA only, you may specify "use credit card" in the box +where it says courier account number. In that case we will pass on +your credit card number to the courier company. You will get a separate +debit from them (for the shipping portion only). But we prefer if you do +have a courier account number already. If requesting shipping to a company +address, ask if they have one that can be used (or phone FEDEX or UPS and +ask what it is). + +
