Shipping Policy

Named carriers, real transit times, and what happens when something is on back order.

Last updated 12 June 2026

Dispatch

In-stock orders are picked and dispatched within 1–2 business days. Orders placed before 14:00 ET on a business day are picked the same day. We do not pick on weekends or statutory holidays in Ontario.

You will receive a tracking number by email when the label is created, not when the parcel is collected — so there is usually a few hours before the carrier's first scan appears.

Carriers and transit times

We ship with Canada Post, UPS, Purolator. The carrier is selected on weight and destination; you can request a specific one in the order notes and we will use it where the rate is comparable.

DestinationServiceTypical transit
OntarioGround1–2 business days
Rest of CanadaGround2–6 business days
Remote and northern postal codesGround5–10 business days
Continental United StatesStandard international4–9 business days
Expedited (all destinations)Air1–3 business days

Transit times are the carrier's estimates and start from the first scan, not from when you place the order. They are not guaranteed, and we do not control carrier delays.

Shipping charges

  • Orders of $149.00 or more — free ground shipping
  • Orders under $149.00 — flat rate $14.95
  • Expedited air — quoted at checkout, based on weight and destination
  • Oversized items (bench grinders, machine tools) — quoted individually before dispatch

Special orders and back orders

Items marked Special order are not held in our warehouse. They are ordered from the maker when your order is received, and the lead time shown on the product page is the time from your order to dispatch from us.

Lead times on hand-made items are genuinely variable. Hand-stitched rasps, for example, are quoted at six to eight weeks because that is what the workshop actually takes. If a lead time moves, we email you — we do not let an order sit silently.

Mixed orders ship complete by default. If your order contains both stocked and special-order items, we hold it until everything is ready. Ask us and we will split the shipment at no extra charge.

International orders and customs

We ship to the United States. Orders are shipped DDU (delivered duty unpaid), which means any import duty, tax or brokerage is payable by you to the carrier on delivery. These charges are set by the destination country and are not included in the price you pay us.

We declare the full commercial value on every customs form. We will not under-declare a shipment or mark goods as a gift.

Damaged or missing shipments

Inspect the parcel before signing where the carrier allows it. If a shipment arrives damaged, photograph the packaging before you open it further and contact support@exelprod.com within 48 hours. Damage claims without photographs of the outer packaging are very difficult to settle with carriers.

If tracking shows delivered and you do not have the parcel, tell us within seven days so we can open a trace while the carrier still holds the scan data.

Address accuracy

We ship to the address as entered. Carrier address-correction fees on an incorrectly entered address are passed on at cost. If you spot a mistake, call (000) 000-0000 immediately — before dispatch we can change it for free, after dispatch we cannot.
