Why, thank you! Here’s how you can purchase our all-natural sea salts:

In person: Go to our STORE LOCATOR and type up your address or starting location. The map will display the closest retailers to the address you provided from 0.25 miles up to within 500 miles. We suggest you contact the shop prior to your shopping to make sure they carry stock of your sea salt flavour choices.

Online on our Salt Shop: We offer all of our products plus hand-picked bundles and other exclusive goodies. We have flat rate shipping within Canada (C$15) and the US (C$20). Not in North America? Send an email to sales@canadianseasalt.com.

We ship orders on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Orders placed between 9:00 a.m.–6:00 p.m. Pacific Time are processed for the next shipping day. Weekend and holiday orders ship on the following Monday, Wednesday, or Friday.

Typical delivery timelines:
Canada: 3–9 business days
United States: 5–10 business days

Peak season (summer and Christmas):
Please allow up to 5–10 business days within Canada and 7–14 business days to the U.S., as we experience high demand and our salt harvesters work overtime to produce more sea salt.

Additional delays:
Due to customs backlogs and clearance times, U.S. orders may take up to 7 extra business days beyond normal.

PO Boxes:
During service disruptions (such as a Canada Post strike), we cannot ship to PO Boxes. Please provide a street address to avoid delays.

You’ll receive an order confirmation email after purchase and a second email with tracking information once your order ships.

Emails will be sent to confirm receipt of your purchase, and to confirm shipment of your order (this will include Canada Post’s tracking number which you can track via the Canada Post website).

Notice we do not have an Account Page. We do not store your personal and credit card information. Exception is your postal and email addresses, which we will use to contact you to send confirmation emails (no spam, promise!). Read more about how we use collected information here.

Our shop has info on the individual sea salt products available. You can also check our Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and YouTube channel for additional information, user recipes, tips and more.

Glad you asked. Each state has its own duties and tariff laws so we cannot include US taxes in our pricing. You will be responsible for paying any customs and/or duties from your end. Very grown up of you.

Our number one priority is for you to be delighted with your purchase. If you receive the wrong items or anything is damaged in transit reach out to us immediately at orders@canadianseasalt.com and we will resolve the problem.

Our Oyster River saltworks is located on private property and does not have a retail shop. You purchase our products at nearby shops (see our store locator page) or online.

Please keep the jars and pouch sealed when not in use. If exposed to the air for a long period, our all-natural salt will attract moisture.

We like to transfer our Flake Sea Salt (that came in the beautiful box) into a salt cellar or salt pig, and only take a small amount to place in pinch bowls when it’s time to serve.

Absolutely! Our sea salt is dried naturally and does not contain any of the chemicals that most salts use to prevent moisture and clumping. Read above on the best way to store your sea salt.

Shakers, oh no! Most shakers are designed for fine grain iodized salt that contains free-flow agents, they’re not meant to hold larger salt flakes (and remember all-natural sea salt has moisture). Part of the magic of our Flake Sea Salt is its beautiful pyramid-shaped crystals and the light, flaky texture you can easily crumble with your fingers to sprinkle on your food. So, if you have to, use grinders that are especially designed for natural sea salt.

For the table, we recommend using pinch bowls or salt cellars that come with their own spoons.

No. There are very small traces of iodine in our sea salt that are naturally present in the ocean. We do not, however, add iodine or other chemicals as is the case with many industrial produced salts (e.g. table salt).

Yes. Every batch of Vancouver Island Sea Salt is tested by accredited third-party laboratories to confirm it meets Canadian food safety standards and the Codex Alimentarius Standard for Food Grade Salt—the international benchmark for quality and safety.

As part of our process, incoming ocean water is filtered through a multi-stage low-micron system before evaporation to reduce environmental contaminants. Finished salt is analyzed for heavy metals including lead, arsenic, cadmium, mercury, and copper.

Recent Results (June 2025):

Arsenic: 0.003 mg/kg
Copper: 1.8 mg/kg
Cadmium: <0.010 mg/kg
Lead: 0.021 mg/kg
Mercury: <0.010 mg/kg

All results are well below international safety limits, confirming our salt’s purity and safety.
