Attention (May 5th, 2025 - present): Potential Canada Post Strike and Radon Test Kit Shipment 

With a Canada Post strike likely to happen this month, we are temporarily delaying shipments until we are confident your radon test kit can be delivered reliably. All radon test kits will be prepared promptly and sent out once the strike is resolved. 

By request, we can deliver your radon test kit to you through an alternative courier. However, this will incur added shipping costs. Please contact [email protected] for more information.
