** Shipping from Surrey BC to anywhere in Canada or available for local pickup! The shipping rates my site gives only include $100 insurance (this is standard for Canada Post and Purolator/UPS). I can purchase "high value insurance" for any shipment over $1k at an additional cost to you, which is variable depending on the value of the carder. This increases the shipping rate by 3-4x more, so I leave the choice up to you! Email me after purchase if you would like High Value Insurance and I will get you a price for that cost.
