ABOUT THE STORE:
Do you have a physical location? Can I visit your retro toy store in person?
Not yet. For now Collectors Quests is mainly a virtual space, but who knows what the future holds.
How do you calculate shipping costs?
The shipping costs are calculated by Canada Post based on the dimensions and weight of the package, and where it is being shipped.
How do you determine pricing?
We have valued our collection based on current market performance. Our prices are based on a number of factors, including recent sales by online retailers, prices realized in recent vintage toy auctions, value estimates in published identification and price guides, the rarity of the item, and its condition.
What forms of payment do you accept?
We accept Visa, Mastercard, and PayPal.
Do you ship internationally?
Yes! Your shipping fee will be calculated upon checkout.
How do you calculate international taxes?
We only charge taxes on products that are being shipped domestically (within Canada). We do not charge taxes on international shipments – the buyer assumes responsibility for any taxes, duties and/or brokerage charges that may be incurred upon entry into the destination country.
I haven’t received my purchase yet - what do I do now?
We aim to pack and ship your items within 4 business days of your purchase, and will send you tracking information as soon as a shipping label is created. If you have checked the status of your parcel and something is amiss, please email us and we will work it out together.
