Links
Gridley’s may provide links to third party websites or resources. We do not have any control over third party web sites or resources, therefore we cannot be held responsible or liable for any content, or for your reliance on any content, found on such third party websites or resources.
Custom/Large Orders
Gridley’s does custom and large orders! However, in order to keep our products as fresh as possible, we keep a relatively low inventory in stock. If you would like to place a custom or large order, please email us at gridley@gridleys.ca. Please allow for a longer processing time to prepare your order. Our soap takes about 4 weeks to cure, and depending on how large the custom order is, it can take a bit longer to package and get it ready for shipment or delivery.
US and International Orders
Gridley’s may accept US and international orders. Please do not use the online shopping cart, instead please email us with your order and we will be happy to determine your total, including shipping charges. US and international shipping rates will be calculated based on package size, weight and shipping method selected. Orders will be shipped via Canada Post Small Packet or Expedited service, as selected by you. There is no tax applied to orders shipped to the US or internationally. Payment through Paypal (no account necessary) is accepted for US and international orders and is required prior to shipment. Please contact your local customs authority to determine any tax or duty charges that may apply, prior to placing your order. Gridley’s is not responsible for any custom fees, duty/processing charges, associated taxes nor for any delays at customs.

Gridley's is a small, independently owned business. While we would love to support every request, we have a threshold for charitable giving each year so that we can keep making that smelly stuff everyone loves!
