Pillow form, quillt batts, polyester stuffing shipping rates

The most frequent question we are asked is: how much shipping does it cost to my location? For those that are technically inclined, we developed an intuitive instant quote system that calculates shipping to any location in Canada. It can be viewed at: http://www.nussopillows.com/order.htm?format=quote
This is what the online quote form looks like:
If you fill in your postal code in the blue box (either the big one at the top or the small one in the middle on the right) the program will now calculate the shipping cost to your specific postal code. Now, when you enter the quantities you want in any of the other boxes, the shipping cost will update automatically in the big blue box entitled "Your Order Summary". It will calculate the precise costs as well as the number of boxes it will take to ship your order to you. Roughly speaking, 25 pounds of merchandise will fit into a box. That means approximately 25 18" x 18" or 20 20" x 20" forms.

For a basic guideline, here's a quick rundown of what costs you can expect to major metropolitan areas for quantities of two boxes or more:


Toronto: $10.58/box
Montreal: $11.95/box
Winnipeg: $13.58/box
Calgary/Edmonton: $16.70/box
Vancouver: $18.98/box

Single carton shipments are slightly higher

Keep in mind, that if FedEx is delivering to a residential address, they will charge an additional $2.50/box surcharge. Also, the rates above are a guideline and should be used as a rough estimate only. For an accurate quote, please use the online quote form: http://www.nussopillows.com/order.htm?format=quote 

We ship all of our goods with FedEx ground, due their exceptional customer service and super fast delivery time. FedEx has been a reliable, steady supplier for us for many many years (over 30 I think dating back to the RPS days). Customers love the emails that FedEx sends out for the tracking number for each package, which allows our clients to conveniently track their orders as soon as they leave the warehouse. Additionally, FedEx offers us very competitive rates due to our long-standing relationship with them. It is part of our corporate philosophy to maintain and build strong mutually beneficial business relationships that assist us in all steps along the value creation chain.
