Return Service within Canada

Items will be returned to you when:

• The Item is refused or unclaimed by the addressee
• The delivery address is incomplete or does not exist
• The addressee is no longer at the address and no forwarding address is available or the Change of Address Notification has expired
• A Return Service label is used

Note: The Customer is responsible for the Return Service fee regardless of the reason for the return. Returned Items refused by the Customer are treated as undeliverable and disposed of or recycled pursuant to Canada Post's policy on undeliverable Items at the Customer's expense.

Return Service labels (shipments within Canada only)

Using Return Service labels helps you authorize returns, control costs, speed up the return process, improve your customer service and responsiveness, and provide convenience to your customer. If your customer ever needs to ship an item back to you, they already have a Return Service label. Shipping charges only apply if your customer (the addressee) returns the Item using the label. You will be charged the then applicable charges in effect on the actual shipping date.

Return Service labels are available for Priority Courier, Xpresspost, Expedited Parcel and Regular Parcel services.

Note: Features and options (e.g. Guaranteed On-time Delivery, Liability Coverage, On Demand Pickup) are neither included nor available separately when Return Service labels are used.
