SHIPPING & RETURNS

SHIPPING UPDATE - CANADA POST STRIKE

We are continuing to ship regularly via UPS while Canada Post is on Strike.

For orders within Canada and the USA, we are still offering a $15 flat rate in BC, and Free shipping on orders over $300. Please choose the option that best suits your order and we will send you a UPS tracking number.

For International orders, UPS will not show up as an option, so we will adjust the shipping on our end and send you the UPS tracking number.

This is due to Shopify not allowing us to add UPS as a shipping option outside of Canada.

If for any reason the shipping cost is much higher than quoted, we will contact you via email to find the best solution.

Thank you for your patience and understanding during this time.

SHIPPING

We ship all items from Victoria, Canada using Canada Post, within 1-5 business days of receiving your order.

If you have any special shipping instructions please make notes in the notes section, or contact us after placing your order and we will do our best to meet your special request.

All shipping rates are in Canadian Dollars. On international orders, all duties, customs and taxes incurred are the responsibility of the customer.

Shipping and handling charges are non refundable, and we highly recommend choosing a shipping option that offers tracking.

Open House is not responsible for any items lost or delayed in transit. After an item has shipped, it is no longer our responsibility.
We are unable to replace or refund stolen packages or unretrieved packages that have been confirmed as delivered.
We are not responsible for items that are not received due to an incorrect or incomplete shipping address.
Open House does not assume any shipping costs or duties on exchanges and returns.
Any additional shipping charges incurred when shipping out an exchange will be charged to you as the customer and shipped according to your preferred shipping method.
Any charges incurred from abandoned or returned orders due to unsuccessful delivery will be billed to you the customer along with return shipping charges.
We will always try our best to assist you in any situation.

Delivery times are only estimates, there can be additional delays if the package is crossing a border, or delivery falls during a holiday. We do not promise delivery dates or assume any responsibility for delivery times, as this is beyond our control.

We ship with Canada Post as we find this option to be the least costly, particularly when crossing borders. Canada Post will pass the package on to your National Post in whichever country you are ordering from. When a package crosses a border, you are responsible for any processing fees, customs duties or taxes charged by your country.
