Shipping & Returns - Metalbird Canada Group Inc.

How much does shipping cost?

(What you pay, why it costs that, and where it goes)

We don’t mark up shipping. What you pay at checkout is what the courier charges us — sometimes a bit less, depending on the order. We’re not trying to profit on postage, just get your bird to you quickly and safely without surprises.

Variable Shipping Rates

Shipping in Canada varies by region. Here’s how it works:

  • Rates start from $12.99 CAD for regular UPS zones

  • Higher charges apply for out-of-zone and remote areas — sometimes as high as $100+

  • Shipping costs are shown at checkout once your address is entered

  • We subsidise shipping and don’t make a cent off it — promise

  • Free Standard Shipping on orders over $180 CAD (within regular UPS zones).

This doesn’t include remote/out-of-zone areas due to additional carrier charges.

International Shipping

We don't ship globally from Canada, but international shipping can be achieved from outside Canada. If you have friends and family overseas that you want to send the best gift they'll ever receive, please check out your local Metalbird site for regional bird designs:

If you have questions or something doesn’t look right at checkout, you can reach us through live chat, email us at info@metalbird.ca, or leave a message via the "Digital Wingman" website chatbot. We’ll be happy to check it for you.

How long does shipping take?

Most orders leave the warehouse within 1 to 2 business days after purchase.

We ship all orders with UPS, straight from our warehouse in Montréal, Quebec.

Standard delivery times after dispatch:

  • Estimated delivery is 2–5 business days depending on your province.

    Remote or out-of-zone areas may take longer — but we’ll get it there.

You’ll get a tracking email as soon as it ships.


If it’s been more than 3 business days and you haven’t seen an update, check your spam folder — or reach out via live chat (if we’re online) or leave us a message through the "Digital Wingman" website chatbot.

We aim to deliver fast, but once the package is with the courier, final timing is out of our hands. Weather, peak season volume, or local disruptions can cause short delays.

Can I Return My Metalbird?

Yep, you can return your bird if it doesn’t suit. Here’s the deal:

Can I Get a Refund?

Changed your mind? That’s totally fine — just make sure your original bird is still in mint condition and we’ll help you swap it for something that suits.
