    • UPS Ground: For $19.99, UPS Ground offers delivery in 1-5 business days, and is available for addresses in the United States.

Shipping Policy for Canadian Accounts

At Luminous Optical, we’re committed to making it seamless for our Canadian partners to receive their eyewear orders. Below is an overview of shipping options, delivery expectations, and how duties and taxes are handled.


Duties & Taxes (DDU vs. DDP)

We offer two different duty handling options, depending on the shipping method selected at checkout:

DDU (Delivered Duty Unpaid)

With DDU shipments, duties, taxes, or brokerage fees may be collected upon delivery by the carrier or customs authority.

DDP (Delivered Duty Paid)

Our FedEx International Connect Plus service now supports DDP shipping for Canadian accounts.

✔ Duties, taxes, and brokerage fees are included and paid upfront
✔ No surprise charges upon delivery
✔ Faster, smoother customs clearance

We recommend selecting FedEx International Connect Plus for the most predictable and streamlined delivery experience.


Order Minimums

To help offset higher international shipping costs, we recommend a 3-frame minimum for Canadian orders.

If you need to order a single frame, please email us at [email protected], and we’ll be happy to assist.
