🇨🇦 WE SHIP TO ALL CANADIAN PROVINCES AND TERRITORIES 🇨🇦

Lightning Fast, Same Day Order Processing!

Speed is the name of the game when it comes to shipping, and The Herb Cafe is as fast as they come! Orders placed before 4:20 PM EST will be shipped same day, Monday to Friday* using Canada Post, no matter the order total, and a tracking number will be provided by email. The same day shipping time cut off for UPS is 12:00pm (noon). The delivery estimates are provided directly by Canada Post and UPS at checkout and is not a guaranteed delivery date.

We offer FREE Canada Post Standard Shipping on orders over $100 CAD, before tax, across Canada.

Orders are packed and processed in minutes after completion, so please be sure of the shipping address and that all items required are added to the cart before checkout. We're unable to change, edit, or cancel orders once they've been submitted due to the speed of order processing. 

Some large or heavy items may not be eligible for free shipping. If there is any issues with heavy boxed items, we will contact you after purchase with exact shipping rates to your address for that specific order. 

Canada Post Expedited, XpressPost, and Priority shipping options are available to add to your order if you need your item in a rush. We also offer UPS Standard, Expedited, and Express options at checkout, for a more stable delivery.

Same day shipping times may be delayed during high traffic sales periods like 4/20, Black Friday, and Boxing Day. Same day shipping is not sane day delivery. We will ship your order on the day it it placed, usually within minutes, Monday to Friday. Weekend orders are packed after hours and are picked up Monday morning. 

Interac e-Transfer (Email Money Transfer) payment is MANDATORY for any of the following situations:

We are happy to accommodate shipping to PO Boxes, Flex Delivery, new home address, work address, or to a friend's house provided that the order is paid by Interac eTransfer (Email Money Transfer). This policy is fraud prevention measure implemented by BMO Bank to protect themselves, The Herb Cafe, and the cardholder from theft due to the increasing volume of online fraud. Manually entering a different shipping address when using a credit card may result in your order being delayed, or even cancelled, if we are unable to verify if a stolen card was not used. Orders must be shipped to the card holder if a credit card is used to pay for an order. 

How Long Will It Take To Get My Order?

Delivery date estimates and total costs are supplied directly from Canada Post and are based on the weight of the order and the distance from our warehouse to your requested shipping address. The delivery time begins when the order is picked up by Canada Post, not when the order is placed. 

*Rural parts of Canada may require an added shipping cost and may not be included in the free shipping promotion. Please note, some postal codes where the first number is a zero (specifically A0, B0, T0, and V0) the minimum order value for free shipping is $160, before tax, due to the extremely high shipping rate to these remote addresses. We will contact you after the order is placed for the shipping fee if it was not covered on orders under $160.

Same day order processing may not be available in certain situations such as Canada Post holidays, service outrages, or on the big 4 holidays (BlackFriday/CyberMonday, Christmas/Boxing Day, April 20, October 17).

If the wrong address is entered by the purchaser and returned to us, there will be a return shipping fee charged to the purchasing party. It is normally the same cost as it was to send it out, but can be more, especially with expedited, express, or priority shipping. The Return fee can be up to $100 CAD, or more, depending on the weight, value, and distance traveled for an order. There will also be the initial shipping cost to send it again to the correct address. The Herb Cafe is not responsible for an incorrectly entered address. This also applies to orders not accepted or refused at the door. A return shipping fee will be charged to us and credited from your order automatically and the balance from the order will be refunded to the original payment method used. The Herb Cafe is not involved in the checkout process, and any error occurring from this process is caused by the customer entering the information. We will not be financially responsible for any transaction that has to be shipped back due to the recipient's error.

The purchasing party is responsible for all shipping costs on cancelled or returned orders. If free shipping was chosen on a returned order, the shipping cost will be deducted from the refund. 

If you are using a community mailbox and do not inform us of this and your parcel is stolen from the box, we are not responsible for the lost order. It is up to the recipient to inform us (by leaving a note at checkout) of this so we can request the item be picked up from the Post Office instead of left behind where anyone in your shared property can have access to it. High value orders will come with a do not safe drop instruction, and during the pandemic, will require a signature, possibly at the post office. If you'd like to avoid this, please use Interac eTransfer and leave a note at checkout. We cannot safe drop a high value order that was paid by credit card for obvious fraud prevention.

All shipping quotes are provided by Canada Post and UPS directly. These anticipated delivery dates are an estimate and not a guarantee. If the courier is unable to reimburse for a late delivery due to any extenuating circumstances, we are not able to refund any shipping costs. Shipping estimates are provided in business days, which do not include weekends or holidays.

*Monday-Friday (Canada Post does not pick up on weekends and holidays). The same day shipping gurantee may not apply during high volume sales weeks (BlackFriday, Boxing Day, 4/20). Please refer to the Canada Post shipping schedule to see when they are off for statutory holidays. The CP Shipping Schedule can be found here: CANADA POST HOLIDAY SCHEDULE

No Duties or Import Fees on any Orders

We accept Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Interac (Email Money Transfers).

Interac e-Transfer (Email Money Transfer) payment is MANDATORY for any of the following situations:

ORDERS PAID WITH A CREDIT CARD MUST BE SHIPPED TO THE ASSOCITATED CARD HOLDER and BILLING ADDRESS. The bank's payment processing system will verify the information entered to make sure it matches the information registered with your bank or credit card company. This is done to avoid getting stolen credit cards from being used on our site and innocent people being charged. Therefore, all orders paid by credit card must ship to the verified billing address associated with that card (same address that is listed on the card's bank or financial institution) and must be shipped to the card holder (same name as listed on the card's bank or financial institution). If a different shipping address or name is manually entered you will be asked to change your payment to Interac eTransfer.

BMO/Moneris PROCESSES ALL CREDIT CARD PAYMENTS FOR THE HERB CAFE. We do not use any third party processors. A major Canadian bank handles all transactions on our behalf. We do not keep any payment information on file and cannot charge your card for order adjustments or future purchases.
