IF you like to shop online for your home and family, you will be happy to learn that Pottery Barn and PBteen are now available to Canadians through e-commerce.
After all these years, we can now order products for our homes and our teens in categories such as bedding, decorative accessories, occasional furniture, lighting, window treatments and electronics.
For some time now we have had a Pottery Barn store and Pottery Barn Kids on Granville Street in Vancouver. However, the selection of products has been limited and up until May of this year we were unable to purchase anything online from Potterybarn.com.
Now we Canadians can enjoy online shopping from Potterybarn.ca through a partnership that WilliamsSonoma has established with FiftyOne Global Ecommerce. FiftyOne is a leading provider of international e-commerce services and infrastructure to U.S. retailers.
Pottery Barn is now giving Canadians an opportunity to purchase merchandise online with guaranteed landed costs and a convenient, high-quality cross-border customer experience. In Canada, all costs are inclusive of duty, and shipping rates are comparable to the U.S. The only restriction is that some items, due to their size, cannot be shipped directly to Canada such as large dining tables and sofas. However, a large selection of other home decor items is now available at the touch of a finger.
Another very popular home decor chain, Crate & Barrel, has established a Canadian website as well.
CrateandBarrel.ca ships furniture, lighting and other home décor items to Canadians with ease. Just be aware to allow plenty of time for your products to arrive.
Now, I'm not saying we should all run out and decorate our homes from U.S. companies; however, it is nice to see that we have the option to supplement our homes with a variety of decorative products from all over the world.
If you are a tried-and-true Canadian-based buyer, then you may want to check out some wonderful Canadian online home shopping such as 1212decor.com. This is a beautiful home furnishing store located on Yonge Street in Toronto. They ship all kinds of small furniture items and home decor to Vancouver.
