Once you’ve placed your order, the next step is to submit an Interac E-transfer. Your order will be kept on hold till we receive your E-transfer. If we do not receive your payment within 2 days, your order will be canceled.

How will my order be packaged?

Your order will be discretely packaged and vacuum-sealed to protect and maintain your privacy. We ship using Xpress Post mailers or nondescript boxes or bubble envelopes with no indication of what is inside.

What happens if I do not receive my package?

If you do not get your package 2 days after the expected arrival date, let us know and we will file a trace with Canada Post.

If a trace is filed, Canada Post will conduct an investigation which can take 5 business days to complete. If they can locate the package, they will ship it to you and you’ll get it a few days later. If it’s deemed “unrecoverable”, we will send you a 1x replacement package, free of charge.

We do not offer postage refunds if your order arrives late due to any postal issues.

Why was my package sent with signature required?

All packages over $1,500.00 will require a signature to be delivered. This is to ensure your package does not fall in to the wrong hands.

What happens when Canada Post says “successfully delivered”, but I have not received my order?

There are 2 likely scenarios:

a) the postal worker put it in the wrong mailbox, or

b) what often happens is that a postal worker will scan in all the packages saying they were “successfully delivered” then spend that day and/or the next day delivering them.

If you do not get your package 2 days after the expected delivery date, let us know and we will file a trace with the post office. Canada Post will file an investigation which can take 5 business days to complete. If they can locate the package, they will ship it to you and you’ll get it a few days later. If it’s deemed “unrecoverable”, we will send you a 1x replacement free of charge.

From Canada Post:

The investigation involves contacting the addressee to confirm delivery, or to better understand how they receive their mail and, as applicable, if they checked:

  • with the front desk, security or mail room at the receiving address to see if someone else accepted the item on their behalf;
  • their community mail box for the item or parcel compartment key;
  • around their property to see if the item was left in a safe location or in a mailbox attached to their home.

In rare cases, a delivery scan is entered into the system before the item is delivered.

What happens if my package is going to the wrong destination?

If you’re tracking your package on the Canada Post website and it looks like it’s headed to the wrong city, it’s most likely due to human error at Canada Post. Human errors happen on occasion as the postal employee has to manually enter each postal code in the system and if they are off by a digit/letter, it can cause a routing error and subsequent delay of 1-2 days .

What if Canada Post tracking has not updated recently?

If you’re tracking your package on Canada Post’s website and it has not updated in some time, it’s most likely due to your package missing a scan, which is fairly common.

More often than not, members get their packages on time or a day later. If you do not receive it 2 days after your expected date, let us know so we can file a trace with the post office.

If a trace is filed, Canada Post will conduct an investigation which can take 5 business days to complete. If they can locate the package, they will ship it to you and you’ll get it a few days later. If it’s deemed “unrecoverable”, we will send you a 1x replacement package, free of charge.

What if my tracking number does not work?

We will email your tracking number before it has been scanned in at the post office. Until it has been scanned in, your tracking number will not be trackable on the Canada Post website.

Please wait till the end of day and your tracking number should appear correctly. If it does not, please email herbstorebc@gmail.com and we will look into it.

Do you ship to Nunavut and Northern Quebec?

Unfortunately, we experience a much higher percentage of postal thefts when shipping to Northern Quebec and Nunavut. We cannot offer any delivery guarantees if you live in these areas and you will be ordering at YOUR OWN RISK. This means you will not receive a replacement package or refund if your package is lost or stolen.

Do you charge sales tax?

Yes, we do charge sales tax. However it is included in your purchase price.
