Exchanges
Frequently Asked Questions
Exchanges are made in two steps: returning and reordering. To exchange an item from your recent order, simply return it for a refund and place a new order with Customer Service. Unfortunately, we cannot offer direct exchanges. Although there is no set time limit, we ask that exchanges be made in a timely manner and that items be kept in new condition, with tags attached.
- Return your item using the online return process.
- Contact Customer Service to order the exchange item. Please have your order number handy, if available.
You will be charged for the item ordered through Customer Service when the exchange order is placed and refunded after the original item is received and processed. We’ll deduct the return shipping cost (C$19) from your refund and provide free shipping on your replacement order.
You are welcome to wait until your return has been processed and credited before making the replacement purchase if that is more convenient. Keep in mind, inventory moves quickly, especially during holidays and sale events, so we encourage you to reorder sooner rather than later to avoid missing out!
Although there is no set time limit, we ask that gift exchanges be made in a timely manner and that items be kept in new condition, with tags attached.
