Buying Online Guide

For 40 years, we’ve taken orders by phone to make sure every customer gets exactly what they need. Buying leather online can be tricky, and we wanted to do it right. Now, with our online store, we’re making it easier to shop while still offering the personal service we’re known for. We’re starting with a small selection and will keep adding more as we go.

Not sure where to buy leather? Here’s why thousands of crafters and businesses choose Buckskin Leather Co.

With four generations of experience in tanning, sourcing, and supplying leather, we know exactly what goes into choosing the right hide. We’ve also seen the challenges of ordering leather online, and we’ve built our store to make it easier. Our streamlined four-step process is designed to give you confidence in your purchase, reduce the chances of mistakes, and avoid unnecessary delays or returns.

Our online store is built by us with real photos of our actual stock, clear square footage options so you can choose exactly how much you need, and honest, detailed descriptions to help you feel confident in what you’re getting. You only pay for the exact size you receive — no estimates, no averages. Unlike some sellers who charge based on average sizes, we measure and ship the actual square footage of each hide you purchase, ensuring you pay fairly for what you get.

Shipping Policy:

We ship all orders via Canada Post Expedited Post, as it provides the most cost-effective and reliable trackable service. If you’d prefer to use your own courier, just let us know, and we’re happy to accommodate. Since leather parcels come in various sizes, we don’t display shipping rates at checkout. Instead, we calculate the most accurate and affordable shipping cost after receiving and packaging your order.

You’ll receive email updates from Canada Post once your order ships, so you can track its progress.
