The short answer:
- Free standard shipping on orders $100 and up, in Canada and to the USA. Every fence system qualifies on its own.
- Orders ship from within your own country, so there are no customs fees and no border delays on Canadian or US orders.
- We generally process orders the same or next business day, and every order ships with a tracking number.
- Alberta and BC: more than half of orders arrived within 3 business days, and 9 in 10 within 6.
- The Western US: more than half of orders arrived within 4 business days, and 9 in 10 within 6.
- Cutting it close? Express options at checkout usually reach major cities in 2-4 business days.
The fence is chosen, the trip is on the calendar, and now one question matters: will it be at your door before you leave? Here is how our shipping works, end to end.
Will it arrive before your trip?
The steps are the same for every order. We generally process orders the same or next business day, so your fence is moving quickly after you click buy. From there, transit depends on where you live: the numbers below show how fast orders actually landed, region by region, and checkout shows your shipping options and exact costs before you pay.
Ordering ahead gives standard shipping all the room it needs. Leaving soon? Choose an express option at checkout, which usually reaches major cities in 2-4 business days.
How fast orders actually arrived
These numbers come from our own order history over the past nine months, region by region.
Canada
| Where | More than half arrived within | 9 in 10 arrived within |
|---|---|---|
| Alberta and BC | 3 business days | 6 business days |
| Canada | 4 business days | 7 business days |
United States
| Where | More than half arrived within | 9 in 10 arrived within |
|---|---|---|
| West (except Alaska) | 4 business days | 6 business days |
| Northeast | 4 business days | 7 business days |
| Midwest | 5 business days | 7 business days |
| South | 5 business days | 7 business days |
| Alaska | 8 business days | 12 business days |
The tables above include our hardest deliveries: a product like ours gets ordered to fly-in camps and addresses far off the road system, and those orders are counted, not set aside. Remote addresses can run past their region's numbers.

Shipped from within your own country
We are a Canadian company, and every system is designed and developed in Vancouver, BC. Your order, though, ships from close to home: Canadian orders ship from our fulfillment centre in Canada, and US orders ship domestically from our fulfillment centre in the USA.
For US campers, that one fact answers the shipping questions we hear most. No customs forms, no import fees, no brokerage charges at the door, and no package waiting at a border crossing while your trip gets closer. It is a domestic delivery on both sides of the border, tracked the whole way.
Shipping costs
Standard shipping is free on orders of $100 and up, in Canada and to the USA, and every fence system qualifies on its own. Faster lanes are there when you want them: express options, with exact costs for your address, are one click away at checkout.
Watch it move: tracking on every order
Every order ships with a tracking number, whatever option you choose at checkout. It lands in your inbox as soon as your order is fulfilled, so from the warehouse to your doorstep, you always know where your fence is.
Ordering from outside Canada and the USA?
We do ship internationally. The shipping options, estimated times and costs for your country appear at checkout, and a tracking number comes with every option here too. If you do not see your country at checkout, email us at info@bearwatchsystems.com.
Order it, pack it, sleep well
A Bearwatch Systems fence is how you get the best sleep in bear country, and getting one is the easy part of the trip: generally processed the same or next business day, shipped free on orders $100 and up in Canada and the USA, and tracked all the way to your door. Every system carries a 1-year limited warranty and our Best Sleep Guarantee: if it does not give you the best sleep you have ever had outdoors, send it back within 30 days for a 100% refund, with free, no-hassle returns.
Not sure which system fits your camp? How to Choose Your Bearwatch Systems Fence lets you answer that for yourself in a few minutes. Then shop fence systems and put a perimeter around your next trip.
