Couriers/Massage Essentials Terms and Conditions
1. "AT CUSTOMERS RISK"

The following shipments are not well suited to our couriers distribution and sorting systems and are therefore subject to a high risk of damage. For this reason, these shipments will be accepted for carriage, but only at customers risk (i.e.couriers/Massage Essentials shall not have any liability for these shipments and will not accept any claims for loss, damage or delay of these shipments):
  1. Glass, ceramics and other similarly fragile items.
  2. Liquids.
  3. Items requiring temperature control.
  4. Confectionery products such as potato chips, chocolate, pastries and baked goods.
  5. Unpackaged items.
  6. Privately packaged items (e.g. items not in manufacturer's original packaging).
  7. Items not packaged in accordance with the couriers Package Acceptance Policy.
  8. Artwork.
  9. Antiques.
  10. Those items that are prohibited but which are tendered to the couriers and accepted for carriage.

Undeliverable Packages / Address Corrections

  • Occasionally packages are returned to us as undeliverable or have address corrections. When the carrier returns an undeliverable package to us or has imposed an address correction, the customer is responsible for the return to sender shipping and or address correction charges. A full refund will be applied for the returned products.
  • We are unable to re-ship orders that are returned to us as undeliverable. If you would still like to purchase items that were undeliverable, you are welcome to place a new order on our website.

Why Was My Package Undeliverable?

Our carriers may deem a package undeliverable for one of the following reasons:
  • Item is too big for a P.O. Box. Some items too big to ship to a P.O. Box must be shipped to a street address.
  • Incorrect Address. If the address is incorrect or outdated, the package is typically returned to us by the carrier or the unintended recipient. Please double-check your address carefully when placing a new order.
  • Carrier Does Not Deliver to the Address. Canada Post/ Purolator and UPS may not deliver to some addresses. All orders with "PO BOX" in the address are automatically shipped via Canada Post.
  • Address Format. If a post office box address was entered in a format our system does not recognize, the package may be shipped through a carrier that cannot deliver to a post office box. To ensure that such packages are routed through the proper carriers, please enter the box number as "PO BOX" followed by the number. Also, if you're a private mailbox holder (use a local commercial mail receiving agency), do not use "Box" for your mailbox number, instead use # or PMB. This will ensure that your address is not mistaken to be a P.O. Box, and that orders can ship to you via means other than Canada Post.
  • Other Address Problems. In rare cases, it is also possible that the address label became illegible during the shipping and handling process, or that the carrier made a mistake and left the package at a different address than what was printed on the label. In this case the customer will not be charged for the return shipping.
  • Failed Delivery Attempts. Most of our carriers make three attempts to deliver a package. Packages that contain more than $250 of merchandise may require a signature; otherwise, it is generally up to the driver's discretion to determine whether a signature is required. If the driver feels it is best to obtain a signature and no one is present to accept the delivery after three attempts, the package will be returned to us.
  • Refused by Recipient. If a gift recipient is not expecting a gift, they may refuse the package if they believe it was sent to them in error. If you still want to send these items, you may want to let the recipient know that a surprise is on the way.
