Our physical store is closed
Our last day open at 1325 Portage Avenue has ended.
We will still be on line!
What happens next, which you need to know:
Our online store will be browsable, but purchasing (add to cart) will be disabled. We are moving everything so everything will be in boxes until the new online space is set up.
November 1 (fingers crossed), the online store starts working as everything will be unpacked and organized, and we will be able to start shipping again.
Until then, we will answer emails, and do updates on social media. We will also be doing some ordering so expect good things.
Coming Soon – US Shipping
You will soon be able to order from and ship to the continental US.
We have taken an on line US order, packed it, shipped it, and had no issues. It is not available yet – that was a bit of an experiment. An announcement will be made when it goes live.
You may see some small changes in the products and checkout sections, such as flag icons showing up. These do not mean anything yet and can be ignored. If anything behaves badly, please send an email and tell us about it.
TLDR
Step 1: Products which can be shipped to the US need to have a tag added, weight and size checked, and a shipping class added. Not all products are allowed to cross the border.
This could be incremental. Day 1, maybe 40 products are available, a week later, 100.
Step 2: Code snippets will be added to the product displays. They need to put up the correct flag icons (US and CA or CA only).
See the mockup pic of the catnip mouse, an item we do stock in the store https://onespoiledkitty.ca/product/handmade-catnip-mouse/
Step 3: Code to detect non-shippable products in the cart if a US destination is specified, and block final checkout until they are removed.
Step 4: UPS shipping module integration into the checkout process for US destinations.
Note that US shipping will be weight and destination based. When you check out, the UPS shipping code contacts UPS to calculate the cost live.
We may at some future date do the same with shipments in Canada and enable UPS or Canada Post shipping to Canadian destinations. But that will be a seperate project and announcement.

Online Orders
Web Store Local Pickup
Many people have wondered why its so hard to get the Local Pickup option. You had to unclick [x] Ship to another address, but who knew that?
Now that is unclicked by default. Once your home address is in, the option will appear in ‘Your order’, on desktop or mobile.
Your local pickup can be in store or curbside during our regular hours. If you want curbside, put that as a note in your order, then just phone when you get here.
