Shipping & Returns
Shipping
Processing times
We aim to ship all orders within 1-2 business days. Occasionally, with an influx of orders, processing can take 3-6 business days. Processing time is not included in shipping estimates.
After your order has left our warehouse, shipping time estimates are displayed on the shipping profile chosen at checkout. Shipping times are given as estimates - sometimes there are delays in transit that are unfortunately out of our control. If your order is time sensitive, please reach out so we can help out with options + more accurate shipping estimates specific to your location.
Duties & taxes
Orders shipping within North America will not incur any additional duties, taxes, or fees.
If your order is shipping outside of Canada or the USA - All international deliveries may be subject to duties and taxes. Duties and taxes are unique to each region and they are the responsibility of the customer.
Packages may be subject to customs clearance procedures that can cause delays beyond original delivery estimates. Please consider this when purchasing your order.
Returned-to-sender
Packages are generally marked as return-to-sender due to the following reasons:
- There was an issue with the shipping address or postal code
- The addressee does not live at the shipping address
- The package was refused by the recipient when a delivery was attempted
If a package is returned to us, please allow 3-4 weeks for processing; you can always email us first if you notice any issues with your tracking and we would be happy to advance our protocol.
We are unable to re-ship orders that are returned to us. You will be issued a store credit via E-Gift Card for order value less initial + return shipping fees, given the error was not our fault. Once you have recieved your E-Gift Card, we welcome you to place a new order with us!
Shipping insurance
Kōv Essentials cannot be responsible for lost or stolen parcels after they have been scanned as delivered. However, with the purchase of Shipping Insurance, Kōv Essentials will send a replacement order in the instance that your original order is lost or damaged in transit. If you purchased shipping insurance and are experiencing issues receiving your order, please email us at support@kovessentials.com.
If you do not opt in for Shipping Insurance, we require claims to be submitted directly with the shipping carrier and cannot guarantee resolution.
Kindly note that shipping insurance claims will not be approved if there is proof of delivery (photo or geo tracking).
Shipping methods
If the shipping method selected at checkout is unavailable, we will default to the next available shipping method to deliver your order.
