Shipping Updates

🇨🇦 Canada

Free shipping on orders over $45 CAD.

No codes or conditions — once your cart hits $45, shipping is on us.

U.S. shipping has resumed.

Due to new U.S. import tariffs, an $10 shipping charge and 38% duties and handling fees are applied to U.S. shipments. This appears as a shipping charge during checkout.

🇪🇺 Europe

We now ship across Europe.

All European orders ship using DAP (Delivered At Place) terms, meaning any import duties or taxes are handled locally upon arrival.

Thanks for the continued support from teams using Skookum Works guards in the field.

Give Back Program Winners

Giving back to the teams who rely on this equipment is important to us.
