Shipping FAQ

FREE SHIPPING POLICY

General Terms

Free shipping applies only to parts orders over $89.99 (before taxes).
This offer is strictly for qualifying parts, not large items such as RC trucks, cars, planes, or boats.

When free shipping is offered, conditions apply as outlined below.


Free Shipping Eligibility

  • Applies only to parcels that measure approximately 28 cm x 24 cm x 4 cm (bubble mailer) and weigh no more than 100 grams.
  • Oversized, hazardous, or special-handling items may incur a processing fee. An invoice will be sent to you if applicable.
  • A $19.99 insurance fee is added to all orders with free shipping to cover full protection against loss or damage during transit.
  • If you order large items (e.g., RC trucks, cars, planes, or boats), you must select the correct shipping option during checkout.
    • Choosing the wrong option (e.g., selecting “Free Shipping” on oversized items) will result in an additional invoice that must be paid before your order ships.
  • Shipping calculations at checkout are estimates only. Due to varying box sizes, weights, and dimensions, extra charges may apply.
  • Faster shipping methods may also carry additional costs.

The shipping cost shown at checkout is an estimate only.

As clearly stated at checkout and in our Store Shipping Policy, shipping rates provided by carriers are subject to change based on:

  • Final weight and dimensions

  • Oversize classifications

  • Carrier rate adjustments, which change frequently

Our checkout system is directly connected to shipping carriers, and all calculated shipping prices are estimates, especially for pre-order items that have not yet arrived in stock. Once the product is received and exact dimensions are confirmed, additional shipping charges may apply.


Free Shipping Limitations

  • Cannot be combined with any other offers, promotions, or discounted items.
  • Does not include oversized shipping fees — customers will be invoiced separately for oversize charges.
  • Available for Canadian addresses only.
  • Hazardous materials (fuel, glue, oil, rockets, batteries, liquids) are not eligible for free shipping and will incur standard shipping fees.
  • Free shipping uses standard Purolator or Canada Post delivery (5–14 business days), depending on your location.
  • Some remote or rural areas (e.g., Yukon, Northwest Territories, and other small towns) are excluded from free shipping.
    • If your city or postal code does not qualify for free shipping at checkout, please contact our text support line to confirm eligibility.

Pre-Ordered Items

  • Free shipping is not available for pre-ordered oversized parts.
  • Oversize fees will be determined after the part arrives and will be invoiced separately.
  • If your package exceeds bubble mailer dimensions, oversize fees will apply.
  • You may cancel your pre-order within 3 days of purchase if you do not wish to pay oversize charges.
    • After 3 days, the order becomes final sale, and shipping fees must be paid before the product is shipped.

Insurance, Coverage, and Signature Options

  • All shipping carriers used by Big Boys With Cool Toys (BBWCT) cover up to $100 for loss, theft, or damage.
  • Packages over $100 in value are not covered unless additional insurance is purchased by the customer.
  • Customers can contact our Shipping Manager (available 7 days a week between 11 AM – 4 PM) to request:
    • Additional insurance coverage on their shipment.
    • Signature confirmation for delivery ($10 fee) to prevent the package from being left at the door.
  • Insurance coverage must be added before the package ships.
  • Customers who decline insurance accept full responsibility for any lost, stolen, or damaged packages in transit.
  • To decline insurance, please text 647-321-1965.

Shipping Responsibility & Insurance Coverage Policy

Once an order has been shipped and picked up by the carrier, the shipment is considered to be in the carrier’s possession and control.

Insurance Coverage

  • All orders placed on our website are automatically insured up to $100 at no additional cost.

  • Customers who wish to purchase full-value insurance coverage must contact our Shipping Manager after placing their order.

    • An invoice will be issued for the additional insurance cost.

    • Once paid, the insurance funds are transferred directly to the shipping carrier for full coverage.

Lost or Damaged Packages (In Transit)

  • If a package is lost or damaged while in transit, a claim may be filed by:

    • The customer, and

    • Big Boys With Cool Toys, with the shipping carrier.

  • Claims may be submitted between 7 and 20 days from the shipment date, depending on the carrier’s policies.

    • This time frame allows the carrier the opportunity to locate and deliver the package.

    • If the package is not recovered, the reimbursement process will begin in accordance with the carrier’s insurance terms.

Money-Back Guarantee & Shipping Methods

  • Money-back guarantees apply only to express shipping services.

  • If ground shipping is selected with any courier, insurance claims do not guarantee a refund or reimbursement, even if coverage was purchased.

  • All refunds and reimbursements are subject to the carrier’s insurance terms, approval process, and any changes in carrier policies.

Delivered Packages & End of Liability

  • Once a package is marked as delivered by the carrier, the shipping contract is considered complete.

  • At that point, no insurance claims or liability may be filed with the carrier or with Big Boys With Cool Toys.

  • This includes, but is not limited to:

    • Packages reported missing after delivery

    • Deliveries made to PO Boxes, lockboxes, or shared mail areas

    • Locations within apartment buildings, complexes, subdivisions, or townhouses where multiple individuals may have access

Customers are responsible for ensuring a secure delivery location. We strongly recommend choosing a delivery address where packages can be safely received or arranging signature-required delivery when available.

  • You will receive a confirmation once the order has been successfully canceled.

    In the absence of any communication from the customer for a continuous period of 90 days, the product shall be deemed abandoned. We will retain the item for up to 90 days, after which it may be disposed of at our sole discretion without further notice.
