Pokémon Card Shipping in Canada – CardNest Delivery Guide
At CardNest, we keep shipping simple, affordable and secure so your Pokémon cards arrive safely anywhere in Canada. We’re a small family-run online Pokémon hobby shop based in Edmonton, Alberta – with help from our very curious family cat, who “supervises” every packing station.
This guide explains how we process orders, package your Pokémon cards, and ship across Canada so you always know what to expect when you place an order with CardNest.
