SHIPPING FAQs
Where do your products ship from?
Everything ships from our storefront -- located at 972 Queen St. East, Toronto, Ontario. We’re a local small business, so we don’t have a warehouse, distribution centre or anything like that -- everything’s shipped from our stockroom. The people you talk to on the phone are the same as on our chat app and are the same people packing your orders. So don’t worry -- you’re in good hands from start to finish. And I assure you, we're here to help.
How long does local pick-up take?
If it’s during store hours, we’ll pack your order within an hour (or so) of receiving it.
If it’s outside of store hours we’ll pack it when the store opens the next day.
Either way, it’ll be super-quick and you’ll receive an email when it’s good to go!
If it's time sensitive, just give us a call at (416) 465 6660 and we can make it a priority.
How long does shipping usually take?
We try to pack/process orders within one business day (sometimes two if we're slammed). Then it's up to the courier...
GTA Delivery (Hamilton to Oshawa):
Same-day or next weekday.
Please note they only deliver Tuesday-Friday.
Canada Post:
Usually 3-5 days from pick up. Can be longer for rural locations and western + atlantic provinces.

Since Canada Post and our local couriers don't work on the weekends, any orders placed after Friday midday will be shipped out the following Tuesday (we're closed Mondays).
