   Visit us at ibeadcanada.com to place your order.

   Visit us at our location:
   819 Highway 17 East, Wahnapitae, ON

Please Note:
At this time, we are no longer able to accept orders over the phone due to high volume.

Our staff works quickly to process and ship orders, so there is a limited window to cancel or modify an order.

• To Modify or Cancel Your Order:
  Please contact our customer service team by phone or email as soon as possible.

• After Shipment:
  Once your order has been shipped and you’ve received your tracking number via email, it is too late to cancel. However, you can still return any item for an exchange or refund.

• Credit Card Payments:
  When you place an order online, your credit card's issuing bank will place a pre-authorized hold on the amount of your order. However, the charge is not finalized until we fully process your order.

  • In rare cases, if your card fails the CVV verification, the issuing bank may still place a hold for the amount of your order, which may appear in your online banking. This hold can remain for a few days. If this happens, please contact your credit card company to have the hold removed or reversed.

• E-Transfer and PayPal Payments:
  Payments made via e-transfer or PayPal are automatically deposited as soon as they are sent.

To ensure you receive exactly what you ordered, our process includes three key steps:

1. Order Picking: When your order is received, our "Pickers" access it on a computer, scan each item, and verify it matches the items you ordered.

2. Order Packing: After picking, the order is passed to our "Packers" who perform another verification scan to check that all items are correct before packaging. This step also includes a visual check of the products.

3. Video Recording: To provide an additional layer of assurance, all orders are video recorded during these processes to ensure accuracy and that the correct items are selected and packaged.

This thorough process is designed to give you confidence that you'll receive the items you ordered.
