Important Notice: Shipping Changes to Select European Countries
Posted by mortofon on 2026 Jul 13th
Effective immediately, The Record Centre is no longer able to ship orders directly to the following countries:
Austria · Belgium · Czech Republic · Finland · France · Germany · Luxembourg · Portugal
This decision was not made lightly. Canada Post has discontinued parcel service to these destinations in response to new import fee regulations recently imposed by those countries on small parcels entering from abroad. These changes have made standard postal delivery to these markets unworkable, and as a result our normal shipping options are no longer available.
We know this is frustrating news, particularly for our European customers who have been ordering from us for years. We genuinely value that relationship and are sorry for the disruption.
If You’re in One of the Affected Countries
If you’re located in Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Finland, France, Germany, Luxembourg, or Portugal and would like to discuss alternative shipping arrangements, please get in touch with us directly. We’re happy to explore options on a case-by-case basis.
You can reach us at:
Phone: +1.613.695.4577
Email: erika@therecordcentre.com
What Happens Next
We will continue to monitor this situation closely and remain hopeful that a workable solution emerges. If and when Canada Post resumes service to any of these destinations — or if we identify reliable alternative carriers — we will update our shipping policies accordingly and post an announcement here.
In the meantime, orders to all other countries we currently serve continue without interruption.
Thank you for your patience and understanding. We look forward to finding a way to continue serving our European customers.
