I realise that I am writing this post well in advance of when you will need your Halloween costumes in October 2010, but I DO so like to be prepared! I like shopping online, so I usually shop very early if I know I need something special, like a Halloween costume! This gives me plenty of time to shop around, choose the costume I prefer, and make sure it will be shipped out on time.
So, here is a list of some deals and discounts from various Canadian and US costume stores, if you'd like to be well-prepared too, and get your Halloween costumes ordered!
OyaCostumes Canada
I'll start off with a Canadian company - OyaCostumes.ca.
Some items I like from this store: the adult cow costume, the Ariel mermaid costume or the baby hot dog!
I cannot find any active coupon codes for OyaCostumes right now.
Regarding shipping, they ship Canada-wide, and it is a flat-rate of $9.95, or you can collect it in Montreal for free.
Costumesupercenter Halloween Costumes
Costumesupercenter is a US based store, which will ship to Canada.

- CouponCode: SPOOKY
- Discount: 10% off $40+
- Expires: Unknown
Items that catch my eye: Lady Gaga Blue Swimsuit Adult Costume, the Boys Deluxe Muscle Light Up Iron Man Mark VI Costume, the Pink Bunny Newborn/Infant.
Regarding shipping from Costumesupercenter, the minimum shipping cost is $11.49, then possibly higher depending on the weight of your package.
Costumekingdom Halloween Costumes
Costumekingdom is a US based site, which ships to the Great White North.
For a bit of a discount at Costumekingdom:
- CouponCode: INT10OFF
- Discount: 10% off
- Expires: Unknown

- Expires: Unknown
Some items that I really like: Victorian Vampiress Halloween Costume, Coffin Purse Clutch bag, or the Classic Horror Chainsaw. This one is a bit risqué -Down for the Count!
Shipping is quite steep, but it depends how much you want to order. It takes 10 to 20 days, so get your order in very early.
Buycostumes Halloween Costumes
Again, another company from the US, which ships to Canada
The costumes
- CouponCode: vamp10
- Discount: 10% off $40+
- Expires: Unknown
Some items I like from BuyCostumes: Lil' Lion Elite Collection Infant/Toddler Costume, the Pumpkin Flashlightor the Avatar Neytiri Child Costume!
Shipping to Canada is delivered within 1 - 11 business days. They bill you for the import duty at the time of checkout. You can see the charges at the shopping bag, and they seem pretty reasonable.
CostumeChik
CostumeChik Canada is a small Canadian company, based in Alberta.
Their selection doesn't seem to be quite as big as some of the US sites, but it is worth a look to see if there is something you like. Some examples: the Backdraft Babe Firefighter Costume, the Bert Adult Sesame Street Costume, or theBuzzy Bumblebee Infant/Toddler Halloween Costume.
Shipping is via FedEx ground, within Canada, and arrives within 1 to 7 business days. It's a flat rate of $11.95, which is pretty reasonable.
Costumecraze Halloween Costumes
Another US site, CostumeCraze.com ships costumes and accessories to Canada.
Click here to shop Halloween costumes @ Costumecraze
Here's a CostumeCraze coupon code for a bit of a discount:
- CouponCode: visa5
- Discount: 5% off
- Expires: 28th February 2011
I like these: the Deluxe Mad Hatter Costume, the Spider-Man 2 Trick or Treat Bagor the Adult Chicken Costume.
Canadian Shipping seems to start at $15 for UPS, then depends on how much you are spending. They say customs can delay your package by up to 1 to 2 weeks, so I would order well in advance from these guys. Duties aren't included in your order charges. Spending over $50 gets an automatic $3 discount on your shipping too.
Are there any more Halloween costume companies that you have used in the past that I could add to this list?
P.S. I put a lot of working into writing this up. If you'd like to use the information elsewhere, please do so as long as you give me a courteous linkie! Thanks!
