For more information on countries FedEx is able to deliver dangerous goods to, please refer to their website: Transportation of Dangerous Goods (FedEx Canada)

Orders are processed and shipped within 5 business days of receiving all the required information from purchaser – temperature sensitive products may require longer processing time due to carrier shipping schedules.

An email will be sent to the purchaser with the shipment tracking information for their order. Clients are encouraged to monitor the shipping progress for any delays. NRC takes no responsibility for delayed or lost shipments and there is no insurance on packages. Shipments are packaged carefully so that the integrity of the products is maintained. If shipment is not received within a reasonable time, please contact the courier service. Customs, duty charges, and custom broker fees are the responsibility of the customer. Check quarantine restrictions in your country to ensure smooth transfer of CRMs from Canada to the destination.
