Big Savings for US Customers
Exchange rates change everyday. In April 2018 $1.00 USD was worth about $1.20 CAD.
The cost of orders in
US funds depends on the exchange rate allowed by your credit card bank,
Currently the USD is higher than the Canadian dollar. A US buyer will
receive a currency exchange discount. When you go to Pay Pal and charge your credit card account in
Canadian $ and you get the exchange rate offered by your credit card company.
When you pay by PayPal the cost in USD will be shown as you complete the order.
Shipping:
The cost of transportation is increasing. Alpha Online attempts to
compensate for higher shipping cost by offering discounts on quantity orders. We
are convinced that the Post Office in Canada and the USA offer the lowest
shipping price and best service available. As you create an order you will see a
shipping cost estimate from Canada Post. Because of increased cost, we ship all orders by Expedited Mail Delivery time
is usually 3-10 business days to major cities. Plan ahead and allow at least 10
days for delivery. Occasional delivery delays ( longer than 10 days) have
occurred to rural addresses in the USA If faster delivery is really required,
please comment in your order and we send you an email with a quote on the
Priority Mail cost. The USPS shipping charge includes
brokerage charges incurred when the shipment passes through US Customs. When we
ship orders to the US, our packages arrive in Blaine Washington within 24 hours,
and are then the responsibility of the US Postal Service. Our shipments clear US
customs and are then are directed to your address. The FDA requires prior
notification of food-related shipments and we comply completely. You will
find the FDA notification attached to your order.The Post Office will deliver your package. Canada Post and the US
Postal Service determine the time it takes to deliver your order. Post Office
performance is beyond our control. You will receive a link to tracking
information by email that includes an expected delivery date. Overall, Post
Office is excellent; however, occasionally, shipments are delayed but rarely are
lost. Delivery time can be prolonged by longer distance, adverse weather and
problems with your local postal delivery arrangements. Shipments to the US also
can be delayed by US customs.
Canada Post will send tracking information to your email address. The
tracking link provides information for all shipments going to addresses in the
US and Canada. The US Post does have tracking information online. Use the
Canada Post tracking number.
Smart Phones, Tablets and PCs
The best computer to use to enjoy our web site and place orders with no
difficulty is a PC with a big monitor. The next best are 10" or larger
tablets and laptops The worst way to interact with us is to use a smartphone
with a small screen. The most frequent emails we receive about difficulty
ordering come from smartphone users. We are revising our programming to
accommodate mobile users, but accept some limitations. Our pages show
reasonably well on our test tablet, a 7" Google Nexus - a 10" screen is better.
