Ordering Info

March 18, 2026

Please note that Scythe Works is not accepting new orders until further notice.

All existing orders will be processed in the order they were received.

Tariff Update for my U.S. Customers (February 23, 2026):

A new 10% global import duty has been announced on all shipments to the United States. At the time you place your order, 10% of the total order amount will be collected. This amount will include the applicable clearance fees.

 Supreme Court Ruling: On February 20, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that President Trump overstepped his authority by using the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) to impose broad “global tariffs”.

New 10% Global Tariff: In immediate response to the court ruling, the administration announced a new 10% global import duty on February 22, 2026. This is a temporary measure (valid for 150 days) implemented under Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974.

Halt of Old Collections: U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) will officially stop collecting the now-illegal IEEPA tariffs at 12:01 a.m. EST on Tuesday, February 24, 2026.

No More Duty-Free: The $800 USD duty-free threshold (Section 321) remains suspended as of August 2025.

Upfront Payment Required: For postal shipments (e.g., via Canada Post), all duties must now be assessed and prepaid before the package crosses the border.

ScytheWorks is a one-man operation. Usually, I start working on your outfit within a few days. However, it will take longer during a busy summer season before I get to the order.

I’m working on the orders in the sequence I’ve received them. Once the package is sent, you’ll receive the tracking number from Canada Post.

I ask my customers to take the time to inform themselves about what they might need. There is good material posted in The Big Book of the Scythe for everyone to make tentative choices of what they might need, and then I don’t mind giving feedback if necessary.

For your convenience, by using the CAD/USD switcher you can view prices in the preferred currency while shopping on my website. It’s set by “Stripe” to an average exchange rate, and the prices shown in USD are approximate. In the end, you’ll be paying for the total CAD amount and the exchange rate will be automatically set by your credit card. That’s why when checking out, the total amount will appear in CAD.

If you select “e-Transfer” as a method of payment, you will need to follow up with actual e-Transfer to scytheworks@shaw.ca

Payment by e-Transfer can be done through online banking, only from Canadian bank accounts.

I charge a flat fee for orders within Canada and a flat fee for orders to the US, according to the selected type of products.

I’m sending the orders as Expedited Parcel™ by Canada Post.

Once the order is processed and sent, you’ll receive the tracking number.

To avoid an extra shipping cost, please contact me and I’ll help you to figure out the balance. To complete the payment you can use the Payment Vouchers (below).

Payment Vouchers are used in the situation where an online payment is required  without any additional Shipping and Handling fee. The needed amount can be achieved by selecting multiple quantities of the corresponding vouchers (below).
