Any claims for defective, damaged, or incorrect items must be reported within five (5) calendar days of delivery or purchase.

Claims reported after this period may be denied.

We may request photographic evidence and reserve the right to assess whether an item qualifies as defective or damaged in accordance with applicable law.

Where a defect or error is confirmed, we will provide a repair, replacement, or refund, as required by law.

 

Non-Compliance with Return Policy (Online & In-Store)

If a return does not comply with this policy, including but not limited to unauthorized returns, returns outside the permitted timeframe, items showing signs of use, missing components, or final sale items, we reserve the right, to the extent permitted by law, to take one or more of the following actions at our discretion:

  • Retain the returned item without issuing a refund.
  • Issue a partial refund based on the condition of the returned item, including missing components, hygiene issues, or damage.
  • Retain the purchase amount and return the item to the customer at the customer’s expense.
  • Refuse the return entirely and return the item to the customer at the customer’s expense.

No refunds will be issued until any applicable return shipping, handling, or reshipment fees have been paid in full by the customer.

 

Refunds (Online & In-Store)

Refunds are issued only after returned items are received, inspected, and approved. Refunds will be made to the original payment method.

In store:

Electric appliances that are unused and in their original, unopened packaging remain eligible for return in accordance with this policy.

Any issues relating to electric appliances, including defects, malfunctions, repairs, or warranty claims, must be handled directly with the manufacturer, in accordance with the manufacturer’s warranty and the applicable provisions of the Consumer Protection Act (Québec).

Nothing in this policy limits or excludes the consumer’s legal warranty (including the warranty of quality) or any rights that cannot be waived under Québec law.

 

How to Request a Return (Online)

All returns must be requested and authorized in advance.

To request a return, please contact us via:

 

If your return request is approved, we will provide a return authorization, a return shipping label (where applicable), and instructions on how and where to send your package.

Items returned without prior authorization will not be accepted or processed.

 

In-Store Pickup – Online Orders

For online orders selected for in-store pickup, customers have fourteen (14) days from the date they are notified that the order is ready for pickup to collect their purchase in store.

If the order is not picked up within this fourteen (14) day period, we reserve the right to cancel the pickup, return the item(s) to inventory, and transfer the purchase amount as an in-store credit, subject to applicable consumer protection laws. The in-store credit will be issued to the customer. No cash refund will be issued for uncollected in-store pickup orders, except where required by law.

Nothing in this section limits or excludes any rights that cannot be waived under Québec’s Consumer Protection Act.
