Have you ever spotted an Abercrombie & Fitch (A&F) outfit online but hesitated and wondered, "How long does Abercrombie take to ship to Canada?" You are not alone! Many Canadian shoppers have had the same question!
Do not worry; this blog will cover A&F's shipping times to Canada.
Yes, Abercrombie ships to Canada like other brands, such as Nordstrom. This is great news because although A&F, many Canadian shoppers prefer to buy from its US store because it offers wider selections.
Abercrombie offers two shipping options for Canadian address delivery, and shipping times vary depending on your choice. The two shipping methods you can choose from are:
| Shipping Method | Delivery Timeframe | Notes |
| Standard | 5 to 11 business days | |
| Express Air | 3 to 5 working days | Orders must be placed before noon EST, Monday to Friday, to meet Express Air’s daily cut-off. Available only in select Canadian locations. |
Unfortunately, A&F doesn't provide a complete list of Canadian addresses where Express Air shipping is an option. To find out if you can use Express Air, you'll need to go through the item's checkout process.
When shopping online at US stores, you should expect to pay customs duties and taxes in addition to the shipping costs. Remember that customs fees vary based on the items you order and can only be determined during checkout for your Abercrombie purchases.
Below are the fixed shipping rates for A&F's two delivery methods (without the applicable customs fees):
| Total Purchase Amount | Standard Shipping | Express Air Shipping |
| 0 to 100 USD | 15 USD | 20 USD |
| 101 USD to 300 USD | 25 USD | 30 USD |
| 301 USD to 500 USD | 30 USD | 35 USD |
| Over 500 USD | 35 USD | 40 USD |
Yes, there is. Aside from Abercrombie’s direct shipping option, you can also use a package forwarding service to ship your orders from the US to Canada.
This service provides you with a US address, which you can use as your shipping address when placing an order. Once your package arrives at the provided US address, the forwarding service will then ship it to Canada.
Here is a sample computation of the shipping fee and estimated delivery time for a package forwarding service:
| Shipping Method | Delivery Timeframe | Handling Fee |
| Package Forwarding Service (Shippsy) | 2 to 7 business days (after your package arrives at the US warehouse) | 7.99 CAD + applicable customs fees (vary per region) |
Note: Customs and shipping costs from the seller to the US address are not yet included in the handling fee above.
Yes, you can estimate your additional customs fees using an online customs calculator. Just enter your product's description, country of origin, and value to get an estimated cost.
Here are three ways you can settle the applicable customs fees on your package:
When selecting Abercrombie's direct Canadian shipping option, you can pay the customs fees upfront during checkout. This is a convenient method, but keep in mind that direct shipping can be more expensive.
If you prefer to handle customs fees personally, you may pay them directly to the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) when your package arrives. CBSA accepts cash, debit cards, and credit cards as payment methods.
However, handling customs fees directly at the CBSA can be time-consuming and require extra effort, which may feel like a hassle.
If you're using a direct shipping carrier or a package forwarding service, you may have the option to pay customs fees through them. Remember that before selecting a carrier, always verify if they offer customs fee handling services first.
Shopping from Abercrombie can be an enjoyable experience for Canadians who love trendy clothes and accessories. After learning about their Canadian shipping options, you can now check out and receive your A&F items without the hassle of visiting a US store.
While Abercrombie offers Canadian shipments, consider using Shippsy for faster and more affordable delivery. Shippsy is a budget-friendly option for shipping from the US to Canada, with rates starting at 7.99 CAD, depending on your location.
