The number one factor that determines costume prices is that we import them from the USA.

Unfortunately there is no Canadian costume manufacturer that can provide costumes for us – believe us when we say we have tried.  If there was a viable Canadian alternative we would love to use it.

There are some Canadian distributors but ordering the costumes from them would result in the same or higher cost than ordering from the US.

So included in the cost of the costume fee that you pay is:

  1. The costume price.
  2. The USD/CAD currency differential.
  3. International shipping.
  4. Insurance.
  5. Customs brokerage fee.
  6. Canadian taxes/duties.
