Shipping Policy
Last updated on: December 12, 2024.
Canada Holiday Shipping Expectations
Due to the ongoing Canada Post strike that began on November 15, 2024, small parcel carriers in Canada are experiencing widespread mail service disruptions. At Make-A-Fort, we strive to communicate clearly with our customers and set accurate expectations.
As a result, we have adjusted our estimated delivery windows shown in your cart / order confirmation page based on guidance from our carriers and fulfillment partners.
For example, orders that typically take 1–3 days to arrive may now take 1–4 or 1–5 days.
This extended delivery window means that, in most cases, the back end of the delivery window falls beyond December 24, 2024.
While over 80% of orders are still arriving within the earlier part of the shipping window, we cannot guarantee delivery within a specific timeframe. Please consider this when placing your order, as there is a chance it could fall on the later end of the shipping window after the holiday.

This situation remains fluid, and disruptions may improve as we get closer to the holidays and shipping volumes decrease.
As a reminder, our 14-day risk-free money-back guarantee (covering product prices only, excluding shipping and handling costs) begins on the date your order is delivered. This policy will not be affected by any shipping delays.
We greatly appreciate your understanding and patience during this time. If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to our customer support team at help@makeafort.fun.
