Shipping to the U.S.A. resumes
As the dust settles on the newest rules involving shipping to the U.S. methods have been implemented by Canada Post to ship to the U.S. again, without too many headaches.
What has changed:
We as the shipper must now collect all duties, tariffs, and taxes on behalf of Customs and Border Services (U.S.A.) and proof of payment is required to be able to even print the shipping label.
What this means to our American customers:
All charges have to be collected before shipment… BUT, it also means no unexpected charges as your order arrives.
Bear with us, as we navigate this relatively new development.

This is also the perfect opportunity to take advantage of the space remaining in the shipping box to purchase those little items such as Crabs, Ink Misers, Loupes, and Bulb Syringes, among other items that are inexpensive on their own, but do require Parcel Post shipping due to their dimensions.

As Winter is now upon us, more or less, depending on where one is in this large country we would just like to remind you that while we will continue to ship ink throughout the Winter, it is definitely a case of buyer beware. Penablers will do everything we can to protect inks from freezing, which may include decanting some ink from full bottles to alleviate the possibility of glass cracking due to freezing. We will also wrap orders well in insulating material to further protect the ink, but in our climate all efforts may be in vain, depending on temperatures on the parcels journey. Historically samples do well being frozen, and there is no evidence that the freeze thaw cycle is harmful to the ink, but full glass bottles are a bit more susceptible to damage.
Orders placed are only “submitted” for review. The wide range of products and associated different shipping costs make automating the entire process a nightmare. . Orders submitted for review are checked for stock and correct shipping tier selected, and then confirmed. Local pickup is St. Catharines, Ontario.
