Payment Methods

We accept Visa or Mastercard for online orders. We do not have a minimum order amount at this time.

International Orders

We charge only the actual shipping costs. It is your responsibility to understand all import regulations and requirements for your specific country and for the payment of duty or taxes.

USA Orders: Our seed service to the US is limited. Please contact us for a list of available items. We regret we cannot accept returns or damages for orders outside of Canada.

Mail and Fax Orders

Customers who prefer to place their orders by mail or fax can simply print the attached order form (found in our catalogue) and fill out the order by hand. Be sure and include payment information and a Shipping Address if it is different from the Billing Address. We also need a way to contact you, so please remember to include a current day time telephone number or email address. You can also download our mail and fax order form - click here to begin the download. You may print this document, write out your order, then fax or mail this form to us. Please see our Contact Us page for instructions on how to mail or fax documents to us.

P.S.T (residents of BC only)

Residents of British Columbia must pay Provincial Sales Tax (P.S.T.) on all items purchased except seeds, books, garlic and potatoes.

Some Seeds are G.S.T. Exempt!

If you are a market grower and will be purchasing 5kg and up of peas, beans or corn, or 125g and up of all other vegetables, or 2,500 seeds and up if sold on a seed count basis, then these seeds are G.S.T exempt.

Backordered Items

Items not in stock will be marked as a back order (BO). The item will be shipped to you when it arrives. We reserve the right to cancel back orders under $10.00. Your credit card is only charged for items shipped. If the item is not available at the correct planting time for your region, we will gladly make a substitution or credit your account (if you paid by cheque or money order). Refund cheques will be issued for credit balances of $10.00 and above. Amounts under $10.00 will be credited to your account. Out of season back orders will be treated as new orders when the items come into stock and the appropriate shipping will be charged when they are shipped out.

Shipping Internet Orders

"Heavy" items: The internet shipping calculator is fairly accurate, but there are variations depending on dimension/weight and size of the box. The exact shipping will be charged once the order is boxed and weighed. The amount is often less than the amount originally quoted on your order confirmation. If for some reason it is significantly more, we will contact you for confirmation before shipping.

West Coast Seeds is committed to keeping shipping costs as low as possible, and we use a number of carriers to effect this. We use Canada Post, Canpar, and/or Purolator or Greyhound to select the best service for your order and your location. We only charge exact shipping costs, and we do not charge for handling.

First Class Envelope Service

We can ship your order throughout Canada using this service, if the shipment weight does not exceed 100g and the thickness is no greater than 2cm. The cost is $2.95 for this service.

We prefer not to ship Peas and Beans in envelopes to avoid damaging the seeds.

Please note that this service is not insured.

Lightweight, But Bulky Items

Canada Post and other carriers calculate shipping charges based on cubic volume of items or weight, whichever is greater. Weights indicated in the catalogue and online for these bulky items are based on this calculation and may not be the item's actual weight.

Seasonal Items: Items that are shipped at specific times of the year and require special handling, such as: Bees, Garlic, Onion Sets, Potatoes, Root Herbs, and Nematodes will be entered as a new order with the appropriate regional shipping charges applied.

* We reserve the right to adjust our shipping charges without notice.
