IF SHIPPING TO A HOUSE:
As a default, our parcels require a SIGNATURE upon delivery. If you are not home, the delivery company will try again the following day. In case that doesn’t succeed, you will need to pick it up at the nearest depot provided by the carrier.
For convenience, you may request shipping with NO SIGNATURE at the checkout process. However, we consider your tracking status “Delivered” as proof of delivery, whether you actually received your package or not. There will be NO REFUNDS–we are not responsible for any packages that go missing.
If you know you won’t be home to receive your package or if your neighborhood has parcel theft problems, we suggest you get:
Canada Post – Flex Address. Your package will ship to your Flex Address at the nearest Post Office.
Purolator – Hold for Pick Up. Your package will ship to the nearest Purolator depot.
IF SHIPPING TO AN APARTMENT OR CONDO:
By default, our packages require a signature upon delivery. We highly recommend that your concierge sign off on your package. In case there is no concierge, you will need to share with us your buzzer code. If you are not home, they will try the following day. If this also doesn’t succeed, you’ll need to pick it up at the nearest pick-up depot.
You can also have it shipped to the closest shipping office and held for pick-up.
IF SHIPPING TO A PO BOX, community mailbox or FLEX ADDRESS:
Your package will be sent via Canada Post as they are the only postal carriers that have access to PO Boxes, community mailboxes and Flex Address boxes.
