SHIPPING AND CANADA POST

What is the shipment method?

We offer free shipping Canada wide via Canada Post Xpresspost on orders over $149. Orders under that amount will be charged a flat rate shipping fee of $15. All packages will come with a tracking number.

At this time, we only ship via Canada Post. Priority Shipping maybe available for a fee, please email us to inquire. However, through our experience, Priority vs Xpresspost shipping via Canada Post results in almost identical shipping times, especially if it’s going to neighboring provinces. Still not sure to this day as to why :).

We use Canada Post Xpresspost, which provides a delivery date of 3-5 business days once shipping, to major cities. Most of the time, neighboring provinces receive their packages earlier. If you live further away from the city, it may take a couple days longer.

Sometimes the postal worker scans the package as delivered early, most cases packages show up the next day for the customer. If you do not receive the package 2 business days after the date it was marked delivered, let us know at info@budsbymail.cc or contact form with your order number, and we will file an investigation with Canada Post. 

If in fact it is deemed unrecoverable, we will send you a one-time replacement package.


Please note that BudsByMail assumes no resposibility for lost packages due to:

  • Wrong address provided by the customer, including typos or auto-correct errors – Please double check your shipping details before sending payment, and message us to amend.
  • Customer change of address
  • Theft after delivery
  • Package rejected upon delivery (by doorman, other residents, etc).

We do not receive the packages back after they are sent out. We will not be able to resend the packages as we do not put in a return address to claim them.

No refunds or replacements will be given for these mistakes.

We send emails to you with the tracking number before it gets to Canada Post. With that being said, the tracking number won’t be active until it is physically scanned in by Canada Post. It is most likely in transit, or Canada Post hasn’t gone through with the initial scan yet. Rest assured, it should work by the end of NEXT business day. Please let us know if it still doesn’t work once it’s passed that mark.

If your tracking number has not updated for a few days after the initial scan, most of the time it’s due to Canada Post missing the next few scans, which unfortunately is a common occurrence with Canada Post. If your package is not delivered after 5 business days, let us know and we will open a ticket with Canada Post.

Orders over $300 will be sent with Signature Required. If you don’t want this option, let us know in the notes section while placing your order. Please note, if you do this, we assume no responsibility for missing packages. 

 

PAYMENT, TAXES AND FEES

Is Tax included?

Tax is included in the pricing of our products.

We offer free shipping Canada wide via Canada Post Xpresspost on orders over $149. Orders under that amount will be charged a flat rate shipping fee of $15. Tracking numbers are provided with every order.

Sending Interac E-Transfers with your online banking or credit union is very safe to use. It’s usually quite quick.
 
1. Sign into your Online Banking and select “E-Transfer”
 
2. Add us as an Interac E-Transfer Recipient:
 
The name & email address used to add us as a recipient can be found on your invoice.
 
Use the Security Question and Answer/password provided in your invoice.
 
4. Prior to sending, please reference your order number in the message box. If you miss this, you can always just send us an email with details of your transfer referencing the order number.
 

Here is an example video on how to send using CIBC, although it’s a fairly similar process throughout all institutions:

Once the transfer is sent, it may take a couple hours for us to receive and then deposit the payment (during business hours). If payment is sent during non-business hours, we will accept your payment the following business day in the morning. If your order is not updated then please let us know. When payment is processed by us, we will notify you by email. We will then start to process your order which could take up to one business day. We will then send you a tracking number by email once the order is ready to ship out.
 
Please note any payments deposited after 8:00AM (PST) will be shipped out the next business day (although we will extend this cut off time internally as far as possible). We recommend that you send payment the day before you want us to ship your package.

If payment isn’t received in 2 days, your order will be cancelled.
