Notice to Our Canadian Customers

While MacPherson Arts & Crafts is a Canadian based company the majority of our business has been international for the past ten + years we offered all purchases on our website in USD only.
That plus the fact that our e-commerce gateway requires the use of a single currency, the US dollar was the logical choice. The high exchange rates created a disadvantage to our Canadian customers so we will continue to offer free shipping on all orders OVER $130USD
We have been paying all Federal and Provincial sales taxes on behalf of all Canadian purchases for well over 10 years now … however due to rising costs on shipping to and from and product prices increasing across the board, we are unable to continue the extra cost on our bottom line.
This is the bad news…however the good news is we have arranged to give you a choice at the point of check out to pay us in CAD or USD. You can choose which way is easiest for you. Taxes will be charged accordingly to your province, but you can make the choice.

We will begin this as of February 1st, 2023

I hope this helps to explain our decision to sell in US dollars and if you have any more questions or concerns please do not hesitate to contact us via our Help Desk HERE

Thank you very much for your understanding and please know that your business does mean the world to us!! We truly value each and every one of you!
