Buying for a kitchen in British Columbia
Victoria and the rest of Vancouver Island are reached from the mainland by ferry, so freight to an Island address includes a sea crossing.
The interior is mountainous, and winter conditions on highways such as the Coquihalla and the Trans-Canada through Rogers Pass can close roads for a time, so leave slack in a winter opening schedule.
Haida Gwaii and many coastal communities are reached only by ferry, barge or air.
Distance from Norpex
Victoria, the capital, is about 3,310 km from Norpex's base in Waterloo, in a straight line.
Equipment ships from distributor warehouses rather than from Waterloo, so that figure is a sense of scale, not the distance your freight travels. The charge comes from live carrier rates for your address.
