Best Shipping Costs

Shipping costs are the bane of my existence when it comes to shopping online. There is an incredible variance of charges from the US while charges from the UK tend to be cheaper. I would rather wait an extra two weeks than pay an additional $20 in shipping costs.

Here are a list of online shops that offer reasonable if not awesome shipping charges (under $10) to plus size customers in Canada. I have divided them into four headings (bare in mind that shipping costs can change at any time so please confirm their shipping charges before ordering): packaging parcels

Free

* ASOS Curve
* Sealed with a Kiss (Swak Designs)– on orders over $75
* Nygard — on orders over $100

$10 and Under

* eShakti
* Evans UK
* Nordstrom
* Addition-Elle / Penningtons (with intermittent periods of free shipping)
* Mark’s
* Moi Wear
* Reitman’s
* Thigh Society

$20 and Under

* Buy Costumes
* Comfort in Fashion
* Lands End
* Silver Jeans
* Ulla Popken
* We Love Colors
* Ample Mama
* Forever 21
* Maximum Woman

Above $20

* Anna Scholz
* Alight
* Always for Me
* Big on Batik
* Black Cat Plus
* Baghaus
* Destination Maternity
* Lane Bryant
* Igigi
* Mode Merr

Some shops were too obscene to mention, some had no shipping on their website, and others was just too much of a pain to even find.

  1. Free Shipping is the best of course, but we need to look on the quality and service they give.

    1. Of course! But $20-$40 for shipping does not guarantee quality and service — sure in a pinch if someone needs something in 48 I can definitely see that. But I rather wait 2 to 3 weeks and pay a nominal fee for shipping. I would just like a happy medium.
