Refunds & Returns

Last updated: June 6, 2026

Overview

Canada Blooms takes care in preparing and delivering orders so they arrive in appropriate condition and presentation. This policy explains how damaged, missing, delayed, undeliverable, substituted, or otherwise disputed orders are reviewed, and outlines situations where refunds, replacements, credits, or other resolutions may not be available.

Canada Blooms primarily sells flowers, with optional gift baskets, wine, treats, and related add-ons where available and permitted by law. Because many products are perishable, seasonal, customized for a specific order, or prepared for a specific recipient and delivery date, eligibility for a refund, replacement, credit, or other resolution depends on the order condition, delivery outcome, product type, timing, and supporting documentation.

Damaged or Missing Items

If an order arrives damaged, defective, or missing items, the issue must be reported by the purchaser or recipient within the applicable timeframe:

  • Perishable items: within 24 hours of delivery
  • Non-perishable items: within 5 days of delivery

Clear photos of the damaged item or items and the original packaging are required so customer service can properly assess the issue. For flower arrangements, photos should show the full arrangement as received, any damaged blooms or materials, and the packaging or delivery presentation where applicable.

Once the required information is received, customer service will review the claim. Where appropriate, Canada Blooms may offer a replacement, store credit, refund, partial refund, re-delivery, or other resolution based on the order condition, delivery outcome, product type, timing, and supporting documentation.

Refund Eligibility

Refunds, replacements, credits, or other resolutions may not be available in the following situations:

  • Perishable items affected by delivery delays caused by incorrect information, recipient unavailability, failed access, or circumstances outside our control
  • Flowers or perishable items affected after successful delivery due to handling, storage, temperature, or environmental conditions outside our control
  • Customized, personalized, or specially prepared items
  • Change of mind after an order has been placed
  • Personal taste or preference
  • Natural variation in flowers, including bloom stage, colour tone, stem availability, seasonal variety, size, or arrangement composition
  • Substitutions made in accordance with our substitution standards
  • Undeliverable orders due to incorrect or incomplete address information, recipient unavailability, refused delivery, restricted access, or failed age verification where applicable
  • Orders marked as delivered where proof of delivery has been obtained
  • Delays or delivery issues caused by weather, traffic, carrier disruptions, building access limitations, security procedures, public emergencies, force majeure events, or other circumstances beyond our control

Substitutions made in accordance with our substitution standards are not considered defects when the overall theme, value, and presentation of the product are maintained.

Substitutions

Flowers, containers, packaging, gift baskets, wine, treats, and related add-ons may be substituted when an item is unavailable, unsuitable, restricted, or not practical for fulfillment. Substitutions may occur due to seasonality, product availability, delivery location, supplier conditions, legal restrictions, or quality concerns.

When substitutions are made, Canada Blooms aims to maintain the selected product’s overall theme, value, and presentation. Exact flower varieties, colours, containers, packaging, add-ons, or branded items are not guaranteed unless expressly stated otherwise in writing.

Returns

Orders are prepared specifically for each customer and many items cannot be reused or resold. As a result:

  • Perishable items, including flowers and food-related items, cannot be returned
  • Opened, used, damaged, or partially consumed items cannot be returned
  • Refused deliveries are treated as undeliverable orders and may not be eligible for refunds
  • Customized, personalized, seasonal, alcoholic, or restricted items may not be eligible for return
  • Items prepared for a specific recipient, date, address, or occasion may not be eligible for return

Re-Delivery and Re-Shipping

If an order cannot be delivered due to customer or recipient circumstances, re-delivery or re-shipping may be offered at the purchaser’s expense where available.

  • Re-delivery or re-shipping fees depend on the product type, destination, delivery method, timing, and service availability
  • Perishable items may require remaking or replacement, and customers may be charged for associated costs when items cannot be reused or resold
  • Re-delivery is not guaranteed and depends on product condition, delivery availability, recipient availability, service area, and applicable delivery requirements

Office, Building, and Managed Property Deliveries

For offices, institutions, apartments, hotels, condominiums, gated communities, hospitals, and managed properties, delivery may be completed at a reception desk, mailroom, concierge, security desk, front desk, loading area, or other location accepted by the building or delivery carrier.

Once an order is accepted by building staff, concierge, reception, security, mailroom, or another authorized location at the delivery address, the order may be considered delivered.

Alcohol and Restricted Items

Some products or add-ons may include wine, alcohol, or other restricted items where permitted by applicable law. Orders containing alcohol or restricted items may be subject to additional delivery requirements, including adult signature, age verification, recipient availability, or local delivery restrictions.

If age verification cannot be completed, if the recipient is unavailable, or if delivery of alcohol or restricted items is not permitted at the destination, the order or restricted portion of the order may be delayed, modified, substituted, cancelled, or treated as undeliverable. Refunds, replacements, credits, or re-delivery may not be available in these situations.

Cancellations and Order Changes

Orders begin processing shortly after payment is submitted. Customers should contact customer service promptly after placing an order if an address change, correction, cancellation, delivery update, card message change, or other modification is needed.

  • Changes cannot be guaranteed once preparation, fulfillment, substitution, or delivery coordination has begun
  • Once an order has been dispatched, shipped, or released for delivery, address changes or cancellations may no longer be possible
  • During peak periods, holidays, or high-volume delivery days, additional notice may be required and changes may not be available
  • Perishable, customized, personalized, alcoholic, restricted, or specially prepared items may not be eligible for cancellation once processing has begun

Delivery Timing and Delays

Canada Blooms may offer delivery options within Canada, including same-day delivery in select service areas where available. Delivery dates, delivery windows, transit times, and arrival times are estimates only and are not guaranteed unless expressly stated otherwise in writing by Canada Blooms.

Delivery issues may occur due to weather, traffic, courier conditions, building access limitations, recipient unavailability, incorrect address details, public emergencies, product availability, high-volume periods, or circumstances beyond our control. These situations do not automatically qualify an order for a refund, replacement, credit, or other resolution.

Undeliverable Orders

An order may be considered undeliverable if delivery cannot be completed due to incorrect or incomplete address information, missing access details, recipient unavailability, refusal of delivery, restricted property access, unsafe delivery conditions, failed age verification, or other circumstances outside our control.

Undeliverable orders may not be eligible for a refund, replacement, credit, or re-delivery. Where re-delivery is available, additional fees may apply.

Events Beyond Our Control

Canada Blooms is not responsible for refunds, replacements, credits, delays, non-delivery, failed delivery attempts, product changes, or service interruptions caused by circumstances beyond our reasonable control.

These circumstances may include weather, traffic, carrier or courier disruptions, supplier shortages, seasonal product limitations, public emergencies, labour disruptions, system outages, payment processing interruptions, building restrictions, security procedures, government actions, or force majeure events.
