Shipping Policy
Effective date: 2025-10-04 • Based in: Montréal, Québec, Canada
1) Scope
URBAUX operates right now 100% with third-party Fulfillment Partners. All shipping times and rates depend on supplier availability, carrier capacity, and destination. No local pickup.
2) Order Processing
-
Handling time: 24–72 business hours (Mon–Fri, ET) after payment confirmation.
-
Orders placed after 12:00 ET on Fridays, weekends, or Québec/Canada holidays are processed the next business day.
-
Pre-orders/backorders are clearly indicated at checkout.
3) Ship-From & Split Shipments
-
Orders may ship from Canada, the United States, the European Union, or Asia—we select the optimal origin.
-
One order may be split into multiple packages, each with its own tracking number.
4) Delivery Estimates (business days, non-guaranteed)
-
Canada: Standard 7–15 / Expedited 5–10
-
United States: 7–15.
-
International: 10–20.
-
Remote/rural addresses: add +3–7 days. Weather, customs, peak seasons, and strikes can extend timelines.
5) Rates, Taxes, Duties & Brokerage
-
Shipping rates are shown at checkout; select items may include free shipping.
-
Canada: GST/HST/QST charged when applicable.
-
Cross-border shipments may incur duties, VAT, and brokerage fees payable by the recipient on delivery unless a product is explicitly sold DDP (duties paid).
6) Address Accuracy & Order Changes
-
Customers must provide a complete and accurate delivery address.
-
Edits/cancellations: accepted within 2 hours of placing the order if the order has not entered “processing” or “shipped.”
-
P.O. Boxes only if supported by the selected carrier (e.g., Canada Post). Some carriers require a physical address.
7) Tracking
-
A tracking number is emailed once a package ships. Split orders receive one tracking per package.
8) “Delivered” but Not Received
If tracking shows Delivered but the package isn’t found:
-
Check mailbox, building reception, neighbors, and safe-drop areas.
-
Allow 24 hours for carrier scan updates.
-
Contact urbaux01@gmail.com within 7 calendar days with your order number and a tracking screenshot.
URBAUX will open a carrier investigation (typically 7–15 business days). Resolution may be a replacement or store credit. Claims are not covered for incorrect addresses or post-delivery theft.
9) Damaged, Defective, or Wrong Items
Report within 7 calendar days of delivery to urbaux01@gmail.com with clear photos of the packaging and item(s). Upon verification, URBAUX will arrange a replacement or store credit at no cost.
10) Undeliverable / Refused / Customs Unpaid
Packages returned due to refusal, repeated absence, unpaid customs, or invalid address:
-
Re-ship: available upon payment of new shipping charges.
-
Refund (if eligible): original and return shipping plus carrier return fees are deducted.
11) Force Majeure
URBAUX is not liable for delays or non-performance caused by events beyond reasonable control, including extreme weather, natural disasters, public health events, labor disputes, governmental actions, customs inspections, or carrier network disruptions.
