Shipping Policy

ORDERING/SHIPPING STEPS:

  • Once your order is received: We will begin preparing it to ship.  Between Monday-Friday we ship most orders within 24 hours.  If received on the weekend, we will prepare it on Monday for shipment. *Please allow for up to 3 business days for your order to ship.
  • Courier & method selection:  You have the option to select your shipping method at checkout.  This timeline applies from the date of shipment.  You will receive a shipping confirmation email with tracking number so you know when it's on it's way.  If you order on Friday afternoon, your order will not ship until Monday so even if you order "next day shipping" your order would not arrive until Tuesday (Assuming we ship on Monday).
  • Receipt of order:  Once your order has been received, it is important to inspect it for any errors, shipping damage, etc.  If there are any issues with your order, please take pictures immediately and email us at admin@consumerschoicemedical.com  (*See Order errors and Shipment damage below)

SPEEDY DELIVERY

95% of orders ship within 24 hours (Monday - Friday).  If your order is not going to ship within 3 business days, we will email you to let you know as soon a possible (as may be the case with special order or out of stock items).  If you have time sensitive order?, please add comments to your order or email us at admin@consumerschoicemedical.com 

WHY DO WE SOMETIMES SELL ITEMS THAT ARE NOT IN STOCK?  While most items are in stock, we do sell out of stock items as long as we know we can get them in stock within our 3 day shipping policy.  If we do not feel confident, then the items will be listed as out of stock or pre-order or special order so you are aware there may be delays. Otherwise, you can feel confident that your items should ship within our 3 day policy.  

PARTIAL ORDERS

We reserve the right to decide on shipping partial orders or holding shipment for complete order if not all items are in stock.  You will be offered a refund on unavailable items. 

SHIPPING TIMES ARE NOT GUARANTEED

When selecting your shipping method, please know that once we ship your order, it becomes the responsibility of the courier to deliver your package.  We have little to no ability to stop, redirect, or find your parcel. You will need to work directly with the courier company to track your order. (see below)  A tracking number is provided with every order we ship.  If your order is not delivered within the delivery time-frame you selected and the courier company has offered a guarantee on the particular shipping method, we will work with you to recover shipping fees with the courier. 

ORDER ERRORS OR SHIPMENT DAMAGE

Inspect your package promptly upon receipt.  If there are any damages from delivery or errors in your order, please contact us right away.  Please take photos of your order, and damages if any.  Email the photos to us at admin@consumerschoicemedical.com or text us 587-894-2870.  Photos are REQUIRED to process any claims.  

ADDRESS CHANGES

Please be sure your shipping address is correct.  Due to chargeback scams we are unable to change your address after your order has been made.  If you believe you have made a mistake with your address please let us know immediately.  We can cancel and refund your order before it ships and then you can re-order.  If your order has already shipped, we can contact the courier and request that it be redirected and returned to us for a fee.  You can then create a new order.  Once we receive your parcel back we will refund all items.  Shipping fees or courier fees for redirection are not refunded for shipping address errors.

SHIPPING ADDRESS ERRORS

Please be sure your shipping address is correct since this is automatically exported into our shipping programs as entered by you. We have little to no ability to stop, redirect, or find your parcel.  In the event your order is returned to us due to reasons such as "incomplete address, Unclaimed at post office, Moved, or Refused" we will refund the items once returned to us, but not the shipping fees.  You are then welcome to re-order. 

COURIER ERRORS

Please know that once your order leaves our warehouse, it is in the hands of the courier you selected at checkout and we have little to no control over your package from that point onward.  Any issues with your shipment MUST be reported to us promptly so can can start the ticket process with the courier within their guidelines.  If your package is incorrectly delivered, returned in error, damaged or other courier fault we will contact the courier to open a ticket and/or create a claim.  Any products returned to us will be promptly refunded to you upon receipt.  And any refunds to us by the courier are also promptly refunded to you.

You will have the option to select a shipping method at checkout.  Canada Post Expedited, you can expect your order to arrive within approx. 1-7 days from the day it shipped.  You will be notified by email when your order has shipped and given a tracking number to follow.  Packages tend to arrive quicker to major cities.  Here are some *average delivery time estimates by province.  Remember we are located in Calgary, AB so times will fan out from there.

IF YOUR PACKAGE HAS NOT ARRIVED AS EXPECTED

Please note that often couriers update their system to say a parcel has been delivered when actually it’s just on the truck and out for delivery.  When they update theirs, it automatically updates our website too.
Please hold tight another day and if your parcel has not been delivered, contact the courier directly by using your tracking code link.  This is the fastest way to locate and arrange for redelivery or pickup of your parcel.   Any issues with your shipment (see courier errors above) MUST be reported to us promptly so can can start the ticket process with the courier within their guidelines.

Another option is that a notice was put at your door but your items is at the closest pickup location.  You can use your tracking number to contact the courier to see if it is there and ready for pickup
