Shipping

Why did I not receive my package from Canada Post ?

There are many situations that can dictate why you did not receive your package from Canada Post. Here are some possible reasons

1. Safety - Often in condo buildings if the drop off area is not safely closed off or open to foot traffic, Canada post will often leave a note to pick up your box from your closest Canada Post mailbox. Usually, because its Canada post you should have a close by post office where you can pick it up. To Canada post the safety of the box is always the primary concern.

2. Weather - If the drop off area is not safe from environmental factors such as weather, rain, snow, water etc then Canada post will often take the box with them. 

3. Need to call the customer / access to the building - If Canada post requires to call the customer to come inside the dropping zone or area, Canada post will not deliver the box

We usually always provide a tracking number with your parcel. If you have any questions or concerns you can always call Canada post with your tracking number to get any details you require.

How much does shipping cost?

Shipping address in Quebec & Ontario provinces:

  • FREE (Orders $49 and above before taxes)
  • $8.99 (Orders up to $48.99 before taxes)

Shipping address in all other provinces:

  • Shipping charges are based on order weight and displayed at checkout (before payment)
  • In order to know the exact shipping amount, you can add all items you need to your shopping cart and proceed to checkout where the charges will be displayed. 
  • Bigger order sizes have relatively lower shipping fees. For example, a 10 kg order may show a shipping cost of $10 but if you double the order size to 20 kg the shipping cost will not double but will only rise partially say to $15. Hence, it's best to order in bulk to minimize shipping costs per item.
