To ensure the longevity of intensive colors and UV rays, resistant enough to keep their original radiation, our hammocks LA SIESTA rely on dyes from renowned producers such as Ciba or DyStar . In independent laboratories, the products are tested for their resistance to light , to detergents and to perspiration . The results are reaching maximum values.

While the fabrics are manufactured on modern looms, fasteners and strings are manufactured with great attention to detail.

17 : Why some products offered are not cleared customs and require buyer to pay import fees?
The reasons are simple: We want to offer the lowest price and the widest choice of models.

Here's how we analyse that:
  • By keeping transport costs as low as possible ... (The goods require only one transport, from our supplier to the customer)
  • Since we are not warehousing these goods in Canada, we cut the storage costs and it will be reflected on the retail price.
  • Other advantages to minimize the retail price; the customs charges billed to our clients are calculated from our cost price of the products and not on their retail prices.
    (For example; when you buy from Amazon.com, the customs fees you will be charged, will be calculated on the retail price ...)


In conclusion;
The advantage is therefore a wider range of models at lower prices, but in return, the import costs will have to be invoiced to customers after delivery. These charges are hidden in the retail price you find in traditional stores.
