Shipping is by courier using the Freightcom platform. The rate can be calculated when you add an item to the cart and then view the cart. There will be a list of many couriers but from what we have observed, there is no advantage in choosing a more expensive one. To Vancouver Island and the lower mainland, rates are typically $25 to 35. Across Canada, it is more like $45 to 60. To the US, rates are typically $65 to 90. All the panels cleverly fit into the lid for shipping. Shipping weight is 48 lbs (21 kg).

The Deluxe and Classic Speedibins are ideal for home composting.  If you need a composter for a school or community garden, we recommend the Scholar Speedibin as they are tougher to withstand kids leaping on them.  However they probably won't last as long since the cedar will eventually rot. Scholar Speedibins last about 15 years, as opposed to the all-metal Deluxe and Classic bins which last 25 or 30 years. The Classic bin is identical to the Deluxe bin except that the Deluxe bin has a hinged lid. A lot of our customers found the lid a little awkward, which is why we made the Deluxe bin where the lid is attached. If you want a bin that is super easy to use, get the Deluxe. If you are athletic and want to save, get the Classic. We're always learning! 

"Backyard composting is arguably the single most effective activity individuals can do to help the environment."  It is the most cost effective solution to organic waste.  Compost adds essential nutrients to the soil, which feeds plants.  Now with the Speedibin, composting is a safe, easy and fun way to feed the soil!
