Cancelling / Editing Orders

Since our staff are trained to ship orders as quickly as possible, you have a limited window during which an order can be cancelled or modified.

If you would like to modify or cancel your order, please call or email our customer service team.

Once an order as been shipped and you have received your tracking number via email it is unfortunately too late to cancel, however you can easily return any item for an exchange or refund.

When you place an order online, your credit card's issuing bank puts a pre-authorized hold for the amount of your order. However, the amount is not actually captured until we fully process your order.

In rare cases if your card fails the CVV verification, your issuing bank will still have put a hold for the amount of your order and will show up on your online banking. This hold can remain for up to a few days. In such a case, please contact your credit card company and have them remove/reverse the hold.

E-Transfer and Paypal payments are automatically deposited once sent.

Once we have recieved notification of your order, your order will go through 3 processing levels

  1. Our "Pickers" will pull up your order on a computer, and will go through your items and scan each one against what you have ordered.
  2. Your order will then be sent to our "Packer" which will then do another verification scan of all items ordered before proceeding to package your order.
  3. During these 2 steps, a visual check of the product is made.

Another step which is taken to ensure you receive the proper items -- All orders are video recorded for accuracy.
