Does Steelcase Ship to Canada?
Yes, Steelcase ships their office products to Canada via:
- Standard Delivery
- Professional Delivery and Installation
Rest assured that Steelcase ships its ergonomic chairs fully assembled to Canadian residences.
Steelcase partners with third-party delivery agents for deliveries in the US and Canada, so expect a lead time of 3 to 5 days wherein installers will verify the delivery receipt and schedule the final delivery date.
Standard Delivery
Steelcase standard delivery is available for heavy and bulky orders to be shipped in Canada. Packages will be delivered and unloaded by a local delivery courier at or inside your door.
Once the Steelcase local delivery agent verifies the delivery, expect an email notification within three business days upon receiving your order. You will need to get back to the agent to confirm the final date and time of delivery.
As of September 2021, standard delivery fees are calculated at 17% of your total payment ($100CAD minimum). Should there be any delivery delays caused by the customer, expect to pay a storage fee to the courier?
Professional Delivery and Installation
For Steelcase products that are more complicated to assemble, such as cubicles, desks, walls, and interior design services, you can get professional delivery services which will include:
- Unloading
- Assembly and installation
- Removal of packaging
- Arrangement of all products
As of September 2021, for professional delivery and installation services, expect to pay 20% of your total payment ($225CAD minimum).
