Q. The amount shown on my order isn't the same as the amount on my credit card statement, what's going on?

A. Product pricing on avivahealth.com is listed in Canadian funds, orders and are processed in Canadian dollars. American (and other international) customers may use the built-in currency converter on avivahealth.com to display approximate pricing in USD; this is an approximation based on the exchange rate at that time. These rates fluctuate daily and your actual exchange rate will be set by your credit card carrier.

Q. Why do some products cost more in Canada?

A. We carry a wide range of top quality products sourced from locations around the world. We're proud to be the unique source in Canada for many great Canadian, American, European, and Asian health products. We always try to structure agreements with our suppliers that allow us to offer quality health products at the best possible price, and are frequently able to offer many items at par with the US dollar (in some cases better). However imported products do incur shipping, handling, and brokerage charges. Some are also subject to import taxes and duty, so the retail cost of these items will generally be higher in Canada than for US residents, regardless of the relative strength of the Canadian dollar. Many health products approved for sale in Canada are also subject to licensing from Health Canada, standards U.S. companies are not required to meet.
