1 ONLINE ORDERS
1.1 Why is tracking information unavailable for my package?

We ship orders with various carriers such as Canada Post, UPS, Canpar, Purolator, and others. Upon the shipment of your order, you will receive a tracking number.

If a message indicates that tracking information is not available for your parcel, it does not necessarily mean it hasn't been shipped. This could be due to the following reasons:

  • There may be a delay between scanning activities and the availability of tracking data online. Please check back later.
  • Tracking data may not yet be available, especially in rural areas or when information is provided by foreign postal administrations. Please check back later.
  • We understand the frustration of not being able to access tracking information for your order. Rest assured, our delivery experts are diligently working to ensure your item arrives at its destination as quickly and safely as possible.

If you're unable to track your order or unsure which carrier to check for tracking, feel free to contact us for assistance.
