*Attention Canadian Customers: Due to the recent performance of the Canadian Dollar on World Markets, many more Canadian consumers are choosing to make their holiday purchases online. This has caused some delays in getting packages across the border and our recommended order times do not account for this. While the CBSA and Canada Post are working diligently to deliver these packages in a timely manner, Canada Post and Artbeads.com both recommend that you place your orders for holiday gifts as soon as possible.
