Due to the ongoing disruption of Canada Post services (strike), orders destined to certain rural, remote, fly-in communities and the USA cannot be delivered at this time. This will impact items shipped with but not limited to UPS, Purolator and FedEx as well.<BR>
Racquet Science has taken temporary measures with shipping restrictions to certain postal codes and any existing orders in the system may be delayed or cancelled for shipping and/or delivery.
Once the strike is over, the restrictions will be lifted.
Thank you for your patience and we apologize
for any inconvenience this may be causing.
