When your payment has been received by us, we will notify you by email. And we will send you a tracking number by email once the order is ready to ship out.
Once payment has been deposited, your order will be processed. Please note any payments deposited after 9:00AM (PST) will be shipped out the next business day  (although we will extend this cut off time internally as far as possible).

Once the order is placed, the next step is to send your payment to us. We keep the order on hold until the payment is received. If there’s no payment after two days, then the order is cancelled.

SHIPPING, HANDLING AND CANADA POST

How long to receive an order?
We ship orders with Canada Post, which typically has a delivery date of 3-5 business days to major cities (depends on the location), with some packages up to 5+ business days if located far from major cities ! If you’re located a bit further away, we kindly ask for your patience!
I haven't received my package, what do I do?

Insured Shipping

If you select insured shipping and you didn’t receive your package after 2 days past the expected delivery date, contact us and we will begin an investigation with Canada Post. If your package is deemed lost or un-deliverable when Canada Post conclude their investigation, you will be eligible for a full reimbursement (you can simply place another order)

Non-Insured Shipping

If you have NOT selected the “Insured Shipping” option, and you don’t get your package after two days past the expected delivery date, please contact us. We can do a trace with Canada Post. This investigation by Canada Post may take 14-21 business days (due to covid-19). If they are able to find the package, Canada Post will re-ship it to you free of cost. If the package is deemed “unrecoverable,” refunds will not be offered.
What is Insured Shipping?

 

By selecting “Insured Shipping” as an option upon checkout, you are ensuring that the cost of your order will not be be lost if Canada Post encounters any issues with shipping your package to you. If Canada Post concludes that your package has been lost, stolen or cannot be delivered, a credit will be issued to you from Herb Approach for the full amount of your order (excluding insurance and shipping costs ) or a one-time replacement package will be sent to you.
Insurance cannot be added to the replacement package or credit reimbursement. If you wish to send payment for extra items within an order, insurance can be applied to the excess cost.
*Please note that Insured Shipping is only offered as a paid add-on to your order before the order has been shipped out and is not available for customers in Nunavut, Northern Quebec, Yukon, and Northwest Territories

 

My tracker states the package is delivered but I dont have it
Here are two possible scenarios:
  • The postal worker delivered the package to the wrong mailbox
  • The postal worker mistakenly scanned the package as “successfully delivered,” but it will actually be delivered the next business day.
Canada Post says:
“When our Track tool indicates that a letter or parcel was successfully delivered, it means the item arrived as addressed. Some addresses do not have deliveries directly to your door; you may need to check a second location like a mail room, front desk, or safe drop location. Also, check with everyone in the household as another member of the house may have received or retrieved the item. If a signature is shown on Track, see if it matches anyone in the household who may have signed for the item, as we deliver to the address and not to the name on the item.”
Note: In rare cases, a delivery scan is entered into our system before the item is delivered. If you cannot locate the item using the tips above, please allow 24 hours for updates or final delivery.
Canada Post advises:
“If 24 hours have passed since the Track tool indicated the letter or parcel was delivered but the item hasn’t arrived, the sender can report the problem by starting a claim using Online Service Tickets.
Note: Only the sender can file a claim for non-delivery. If you are the recipient please get in touch with the sender or call Canada Post Customer Service.”
Signature Required Option

Any order over $300 dollars is sent with a ‘Signature Required.” If you don’t want this option, please leave a note with your order indicating “No Signature required”. Please note that Insured orders have a signature requirement which cannot be waived.

My package is travelling to another city when tracking, why is this happening?

This is likely a minor processing error on Canada Post’s end, and it should correct itself within 1-2 business days. If your package remains in the same location for more than 2 business days, please contact our Customer Support via live chat or email for assistance.

Canada Post hasn't updated my package in several days, what is wrong?

 

In many cases the tracking isn’t updated due to a missing scan, which is a common occurrence for Canada Post. If your tracker is not updating, and the package is not delivered within 5 business days of shipment, please contact us and we will do a trace with Canada Post.

 

Why doesn't the tracking number I receive from you work?

We may email you the tracking number before the package arrives at the Post Office. The tracking number won’t show up as traceable on the Canada Post site until the package is physically scanned in at the first destination. In most cases trackers will be updated by the end of the business day.

Lost Orders
Herb Approach assumes no responsibility for lost orders due to:
  • Wrong address provided by the customer (including typos or auto-correct errors)
  • Customer change of address / residence
  • Theft after delivery
  • Package being rejected upon delivery (by doorman or other)
We no longer use a return address. Packages with incomplete/ incorrect addresses (missing unit #) will be undeliverable by Canada Post and not returned to us. No refunds or replacements will be given for this mistake. PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU ENTER IN YOUR CORRECT ADDRESS. Contact us immediately for corrections before paying.
