Who do you use for shipping in Canada?
We ship within Canada with Canada Post (Expedited service). If the package is very small (eg. A single cell phone case), we will ship with a stamp, which keeps your shipping costs down.

We ship orders via USPS.
We ship US orders from within the USA 3 times a week, on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays.
Please note that orders shipped by courier may be subject to duties, fees, or taxes levied by the destination country and/or shipping company. ArtDogs LLC is not responsible for these additional charges. To find out what the possible fees are, please contact the local postal service or customs agency.
Who do you use for international shipping?
We ship internationally with IMEX. If the order is of high value, we will use a courier (DHL, Aramex).

For orders valued under 100$, you can choose to ship with tracking for an extra fee or without tracking. If you want to add tracking to an order coming, please contact us at

I received my tracking number, but when I check it, there are no updates. Why?
Please allow 24-48 hours for tracking to update after you receive your shipping notification. If you see no movement after that, please contact us at
[email protected] with your order number and we'll look into it for you!
I haven't received my order, and it's been sooooooo loooooooong! Why?
First step; if you have a tracking number, have you checked it? Make sure you check that out before contacting us, you may find your answer!
Let us know within 10 business days of the ship date if you haven’t received your package in the USA or Canada. If the package was going to an international destination, please contact us within 15 days from the ship date, so we can best advise you based on the destination.
Investigating a lost package can take 5-10 business days.
Tracking indicates my order was delivered, but it hasn’t been received.
Please verify that the address entered for the order is correct, and contact your local postal service as they may have additional delivery information available. The item may have been left for pick up at the post office.
Once the order has been transferred over to the shipping service it is their responsibility. ArtDogs LLC is not responsible for packages not received, that are marked as delivered at the address entered on the order.
How will my wholesale order be packaged?
Wholesale orders will be packaged in clear plastic bags, then shipped in a large white poly mailer or a box if necessary. Wholesale orders may be split up to facilitate the process. You will receive a detailed email with your tracking information and a list the contents of the shipment you will receive.
Will there be an invoice or packing slip included in my package?
We do not include invoices or packing slips for most orders. You will receive a shipping confirmation with a detailed list of what has shipped.
Can you change the amount on my receipt for my order?
No, we can’t alter the invoice for any reason.
The wrong address was entered for my order. What do I do?
If your order hasn’t shipped, no problem! Please send the correct address and order number to
[email protected] and we’ll update the order for you!
If the wrong address was entered and the order has already shipped, we can’t change the address or redirect the package. Undeliverable Canadian orders will be returned to our studio, and US/International orders will be returned to our US post office box. You will be notified when we have received the order back. You must then confirm the correct shipping address and the re-shipping charge. We’ll resend the order and you’ll receive a new tracking number, if applicable.
My order was returned to sender. What do I do?
This happens for various reasons, among them being an incorrect address, the order was at the post office and was never picked up, or the order was refused/returned by the receiver. In these cases, please contact us with the order number and we'll work with you to resolve the issue. If the order is to be resent, the shipping costs are to be assumed by you.
My order was shipped by courier, but I don’t want to pay additional fees so I refused it. Can it be re-shipped by a different method?
No. We are obliged to send high-value orders to the US and international destinations by courier. If the package arrives and you are asked to pay fees/duties/taxes, it is your responsibility. If you choose not to accept the package, it will be considered abandoned meaning it will not be returned to us and cannot be resent.
