Clinical Perspective
As a certified athletic therapist in Colwood, BC, I recommend red light therapy devices to clients across the South Island regularly. Cross-border shipping costs and import duties are real factors in that decision — especially when Canadian-made alternatives exist at similar price points.
Bon Charge Canada shipping is available — but Bon Charge is not a Canadian company. It's an Australian brand headquartered in Perth, WA. Canadian customers ordering from boncharge.com should expect international shipping timelines, potential customs duties, and CAD pricing that reflects currency conversion rather than local manufacturing. Here's exactly what to expect, and where Canadian alternatives fit in.
Quick Verdict
Bon Charge ships to Canada and lists prices in CAD. Delivery takes 7–14 business days, and customs duties may apply. The products are high quality and worth considering — but Canadian buyers should factor in total landed cost and compare to duty-free domestic options like Kala and Infraredi before purchasing.
- ✓ Ships to all Canadian provinces
- ✓ CAD pricing available on-site
- ✓ 30-day returns (at buyer's cost from Canada)
- ✗ Not Canadian — ships internationally from Australia
- ✗ Potential customs duties on delivery
- ✗ Customer service in AEST (significant timezone gap from BC)

Is Bon Charge a Canadian company?
No. Bon Charge (formerly BLUblox) was founded in 2017 by Andy and Katie Mant in Perth, Western Australia. It has grown into an 8-figure wellness technology brand shipping to 137 countries, with 325,000+ customers globally. The name change from BLUblox to Bon Charge happened in June 2022 — "Bon" meaning good, "Charge" meaning energy.
It's a common search because Bon Charge markets actively in Canada and lists CAD prices on its site. The products are legitimate and well-regarded — I own the Bon Charge Mini and use it between massage therapy clients for hand recovery — but the company itself is Australian.
Bon Charge shipping to Canada: what to expect
| Factor | Details |
|---|---|
| Ship origin | Australia (Perth, WA) |
| Delivery time | 7–14 business days to Canada |
| Shipping cost | Varies by order; free shipping threshold applies to select orders |
| Customs duties | Possible — depends on order value and CBSA assessment |
| Returns from Canada | 30-day window; return shipping is buyer's responsibility |
| Customer service timezone | AEST (Australian Eastern) — 14–18 hrs ahead of BC |
| CAD pricing | Listed on boncharge.com — reflects AUD/CAD conversion |
| Warranty | 1 year on all devices |
The 30-day return window is reasonable, but returning a panel or PEMF mat from Canada to Australia adds significant cost. Factor that in before purchasing a higher-ticket item like the Infrared PEMF Mat Max (~$1,275 USD) or the Super Max panel (~$1,299 USD).
"When a client in Victoria asks me about Bon Charge, I walk them through the full landed cost — product price in CAD, potential duties, and shipping. For smaller devices like the Mini, it usually pencils out fine. For larger mats or panels, domestic Canadian options often end up comparable in total cost, with faster shipping and easier returns."
Canadian alternatives to Bon Charge
Two Canadian red light therapy brands are worth serious consideration before ordering internationally: Kala Health and Infraredi. Both ship domestically — no customs duties, 2–7 business day delivery, and Canadian customer service hours.
| Brand | Origin | Duties to Canada | Delivery | Key advantage |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bon Charge | Australian | Possible | 7–14 business days | 240-LED mask, wide product ecosystem |
| Kala Health | Canadian | None | 2–7 business days | FDA Class II, triple-wavelength mask, 2–3 yr warranty |
| Infraredi | Canadian | None | 2–7 business days | Budget-friendly panels, strong irradiance |
I own both the Kala Pro Panel and the Infraredi Flex Max, and I've compared them side-by-side with my Bon Charge Mini. The Kala face mask specifically stands out for Canadian buyers — it carries FDA Class II medical device status, uses 630nm + 830nm + 465nm (blue) wavelengths for acne-prone skin, and ships duty-free within Canada. Read my full Kala red light therapy Canada guide for delivery details and model breakdown.
Who should still buy Bon Charge in Canada?
Bon Charge makes sense for Canadian buyers in specific situations. Their face mask has 240 LEDs at 40.8 mW/cm² — that's higher irradiance than most competitors, including the Kala mask. Their PEMF mat line combines far infrared, PEMF, red light, and gemstone therapy in a single device with no Canadian equivalent at the same spec level.
Buy Bon Charge if:
- ✓ You want maximum LED count in a face mask (240 LEDs vs. Kala's 66 triple-chip)
- ✓ You're looking for a combined PEMF + far infrared + red light mat — no Canadian brand matches this spec
- ✓ You're comfortable with international shipping timelines and potential duties
- ✓ Code SYNCTHERAPY (10% off) brings the price into range for your budget
Skip Bon Charge if:
- ✗ You want a face mask with blue light for acne — Bon Charge has no blue wavelength; Kala does
- ✗ You want duty-free domestic shipping and local warranty support
- ✗ You need a longer warranty — Kala offers 2–3 years vs. Bon Charge's 1 year
- ✗ You're buying a large panel or PEMF mat where return shipping from Canada would be prohibitive

Frequently asked questions
Does Bon Charge ship to Canada?
Yes, Bon Charge ships to Canada from their Australian warehouse. Expect 7–14 business days for delivery. Shipping costs vary by order size — orders over a threshold may qualify for free shipping, but Canadian customers should budget for potential customs duties on top of the product price.
Is Bon Charge a Canadian company?
No. Bon Charge (formerly BLUblox) is an Australian wellness technology company headquartered in Perth, Western Australia. It was founded in 2017 by Andy and Katie Mant. It is not Canadian, though it ships to Canada and prices products in CAD on its website.
Are there duties on Bon Charge to Canada?
Potentially yes. Bon Charge ships from Australia, so Canadian customs may apply duties and import taxes depending on the order value. This is one reason Canadian alternatives like Kala and Infraredi — which ship domestically — are worth considering.
What are Canadian alternatives to Bon Charge?
Kala Health and Infraredi are both Canadian companies that manufacture and ship red light therapy devices domestically. No customs duties, faster delivery (2–7 business days), and local customer service. Kala holds FDA Class II medical device status and offers a 2–3 year warranty.
Final verdict
Bon Charge is a legitimate, high-spec Australian wellness brand — not a Canadian company, but one that actively serves the Canadian market. For most Canadians buying a panel or PEMF mat, the total landed cost (product + duties + return shipping risk) makes a head-to-head comparison with Kala or Infraredi worth doing first. For the face mask specifically, Bon Charge's 240-LED, 40.8 mW/cm² spec is competitive — but if acne is a concern, Kala's triple-wavelength mask with blue light has an edge.
