Shipping
What is the estimated delivery time for my package?
Delivery times typically fall within a 2-5 business day range. These timings are influenced by several factors, including your specific location, when you placed your order, and the operational schedule of Canada Post. Please note, deliveries to rural areas within Canada may require an additional few days for transit. If your package has not arrived within 5 business days from the expected delivery date, please do not hesitate to contact us. Our team will work in conjunction with Canada Post to address and resolve any delays.
When will my order be shipped?
Orders placed before 9 AM Pacific Standard Time will be dispatched on the same day, provided that the payment has been successfully processed by our team. Please be aware that our payment processing system can take up to three hours to direct your payment to the provided email address. To ensure same-day shipment, we advise initiating the payment process well before the 9 AM cut-off time.
Please note that Canada Post, our primary shipping partner, operates from Monday to Friday only, and we do not dispatch orders over the weekend. However, you can still place your order and make payments over the weekend, as we continue to process orders throughout this period.
Can I track my package?
Absolutely. Once your payment has been processed, you will receive a Canada Post tracking number via email within 24 hours. This tracking number allows you to monitor the progress of your package. Simply click the link provided in the email or manually enter your tracking number on the tracking page of the Canada Post website: Canada Post Tracking
For instant updates, we recommend adding your email or phone number on the Canada Post website to enable notification alerts.
What steps should I take if my package hasn't arrived?
If your package doesn’t arrive within three business days beyond the estimated delivery date, we request that you contact us immediately. This will enable us to promptly initiate a trace with Canada Post.
Once the trace has been filed, Canada Post will begin an investigation. This process may take up to five business days. If they locate your package during this time, it will be sent to your address and should arrive within a few days.
Please bear in mind that during peak periods, such as holidays, including Christmas and Black Friday, and during other significant events, there might be slight delays in scanning, updating, and delivering packages.
Rest assured, within 24 hours of your payment being processed, you will receive an email containing your Canada Post tracking number. You can use this number to track your package either by following the provided link or by manually entering your tracking number.
What should I have ready upon delivery?
Upon delivery, you will be required to provide a signature to receive your package, unless you have previously requested a ‘no signature’ delivery. Please note that should you choose to waive the signature requirement, we cannot assume responsibility for the package post-delivery.
What courier service do you utilize for shipping?
We entrust all our deliveries to the reliable services of Canada Post, specifically utilizing their Expedited Post option for efficient and prompt delivery.
Is a signature necessary at the time of delivery?
In line with our standard operating procedures, we require a signature to confirm receipt of all deliveries. However, if you wish to waive this requirement, please indicate your preference in the notes section during the order process or communicate this to us via email at support@vvipsmokes.ca. Please be advised that choosing to bypass the signature requirement will result in the ineligibility for our Guarantee Replacement Policy.
Why isn't my tracking information updated?
If you notice that your tracking information on the Canada Post’s website hasn’t been updated for a while, it’s likely due to a missed scan of your package, which is a fairly common occurrence. Typically, the status should update within the next 24 hours.
My tracking number is invalid.
Please note that it can take up to 48 hours for Canada Post to update their system with the tracking number. If your tracking number remains invalid after this period, please do not hesitate to contact our customer service at support@vvipsmokes.ca.
My order is marked as “Successfully Delivered,” but I haven’t received it. What should I do?
There could be several reasons why your order status is marked as “Successfully Delivered,” yet you have not received your package. Often, it is not a case of a lost or stolen package but a delay in delivery. Possible explanations could include:
- The postal worker may have scanned all packages as delivered prematurely, intending to complete the delivery within the day or the next business day.
- The postal worker might have inadvertently placed your package in the wrong mailbox. We recommend checking with your neighbors.
It’s important to note that we cannot be held responsible for errors made by Canada Post, such as delivering your package to the wrong address.
If you still haven’t received your package 48 hours after it has been marked as “Successfully Delivered,” please inform us, and we will file a trace with Canada Post. This process typically takes about 5-7 business days.
To ensure a successful delivery, we suggest the following:
- Double-check that the shipping address you provided us is accurate.
- If using a flex delivery address, ensure your account number is included, along with the designated post office (RPO) for pick up.
- If you use a community mailbox, verify that the mailbox number is correct.
- If your package appears to be missing, please check with your neighbors before raising a concern. They might have received your package by mistake.
We appreciate your understanding and patience in these matters.
