Drawabox Fineliners: Free Shipping to Canada?

5:07 PM, Monday July 11th 2022

Hi Comfy,

You mention on the Drawabox fineliners page that shipping is only free to the United States. I live in Canada, just north of the border. I recall that you yourself are Canadian. Is shipping not free to Canada as well? If not, what does shipping cost?

Thanks

Where we're able to offer free shipping is dependent on where the pens actually ship from. While I am indeed based in Canada, it's Jordan - or SvenDogee - who handles all of the pen distribution, and he is based in the United States. The price of shipping within the US is baked into the price (which is how free shipping generally works), and is therefore also deducted from the shipping cost those outside of the US see.

Having checked myself (by going through the purchase process up to the point that the shipping fee shows up), shipping to Canada appears to cost an additional $11.50 USD, bringing the price of 1 pack to $29 USD ($2.90/pen), and the price of two packs to $46.50 USD ($2.33/pen). Ultimately while we'd love to operate at a scale where we can offer free shipping to more countries, that's unfortunately unfeasible for us, so I went about structuring this venture in a way that would target the region where we have the most students.

Thank you for the explanation. Completely understandable.

This is another one of those things that aren't sold through Amazon, so I don't get a commission on it - but it's just too good to leave out. PureRef is a fantastic piece of software that is both Windows and Mac compatible. It's used for collecting reference and compiling them into a moodboard. You can move them around freely, have them automatically arranged, zoom in/out and even scale/flip/rotate images as you please. If needed, you can also add little text notes.

When starting on a project, I'll often open it up and start dragging reference images off the internet onto the board. When I'm done, I'll save out a '.pur' file, which embeds all the images. They can get pretty big, but are way more convenient than hauling around folders full of separate images.

Did I mention you can get it for free? The developer allows you to pay whatever amount you want for it. They recommend $5, but they'll allow you to take it for nothing. Really though, with software this versatile and polished, you really should throw them a few bucks if you pick it up. It's more than worth it.
