Shipping is free for all orders of 75$ or more (before taxes) for Quebec* and Ontario. Some oversized items or furniture may however be delivered at an additional cost.

For these same provinces, shipping costs are 9,99$ for any order of less than 75$ (before taxes). A confirmation email with tracking number will be sent to you when your order is shipped.

For Western Canada, which includes the provinces of British Columbia and Alberta, shipping costs are 14,99$ on orders less than 99$. Shipping is free on orders of 99$ and more.

For remote areas, shipping costs are 19,99$ on orders less than 199$. Shipping is free on orders of 199$ and more. The remote areas are: Prince Edward Island, Magdalen Islands, Anticosti Island, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Newfoundland and Labrador, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Yukon, Northwest Territories, Nunavut and Nunavik.

We reserve the right to apply additional delivery charges for certain remote areas as well as for deliveries of packages with non-standard dimensions or weight. You will be contacted by a member of our team if additional charges apply.

*Please note that for certain remote regions such as northern Quebec, additional charges may apply.

What are the delivery times?
Can I have my order delivered at another than at home?

Yes. It is possible to have your order delivered to an address different from your home. To do this, simply enter the desired delivery address in the "shipping address" section. Note that orders with different delivery and billing addresses may be subject to certain checks.

I need my order in a shorter time, can I have an expedited delivery?

No, it's currently impossible to offer a faster delivery time. However, we invite you to choose the "pick up in store" option when you buy online. Your order can be ready to be picked up in store the day after your purchase. An email confirmation will be sent to you as soon as your order is ready to be picked up.

Can I have products from the same order delivered to multiple different addresses?

No. For the moment, it's impossible to make multiple deliveries to different addresses for the same order. The easiest way is to make multiple orders.

Online orders and payments
Why do I only see the GST and not the QST on my online order?

On your bill, the GST (5%) is calculated automatically and the QST (9.975%) appears once your postal code is entered. This is why the amount increases once the billing address is entered.

I'm interested in buying furniture on your online store, is it possible?

For furniture submissions, we suggest that you write to our sales team at i[email protected] or call in store at (418) 651-2828 #1.

Why does the price of an item change when I select a size?

Some clothes, shoes, life jackets and footmuffs may display different prices depending on the size chosen.

Are the prices listed on the online store the same as in store?

Prices are generally the same online and in store, but may vary depending on products or sales period.

Can I use a gift card when paying for my order online?

Yes, simply select "Carte-cadeau Charlotte et Charlie" as the method of payment when checking out.

Are rewards from the "Amis de Charlotte" program applicable when placing an order online?

Yes. To use rewards on an online purchase, you must log into your account by clicking on the ''Log In'' or ''My Account'' tab. Subsequently, you will see the rewards to which you are entitled directly in the basket. You must therefore click on the reward you want to use for your purchase. You can use one reward per transaction.

What if my order arrived damaged or incomplete?

Concerning a damaged order, you can communicate with us at the following address: [email protected]. Please provide a photo of the damaged product in question and a description of the damage.

For incomplete orders, please contact our customer service department at (418) 651-2828 ext. 111. We will be happy to follow up with you as soon as possible.

Can I make a change to my order?

Depending on the status of your order and the traffic on the online store, it's possible that we are not able to make a modification on a pending order. If your order is awaiting shipment, we invite you to contact our team to validate if a modification is possible. No changes can be accepted once the order has been shipped.

Can I request a change of delivery address?

It's possible to request a change of delivery address the day of your order by contacting our web team at 418-651-2828 ext. 111. Note that orders with different delivery and billing addresses can be subject to certain checks.

Returns and refunds
The item I bought is faulty. What can I do?

For any item offered under warranty, please register your product via the company's website. Then you will be able to contact the customer service department of the company directly to follow up on the defect in question.

For other items, please contact us at [email protected] with photos of the breakage or defect so we can follow up with you as soon as possible.

Can I get a gift card refund?

Gift cards are final sales.

Is it possible to get a refund in store for a purchase made online?

You can get a refund in store for an item that has been purchased online. However, as indicated in our exchange and refund policy, items on sale, baby carriers, hygiene products, breast pumps, car seats and strollers are final sales. It will take a few days before the refund is displayed on the credit card used in the online transaction.

What is the policy regarding the return postage fees for an exchange or return of an online order?

The forwarding fees for exchanges or returns on order online are the responsibility of Charlotte & Charlie in the case of broken or defective items. The return shipping costs are the responsibility of the customer for any other return, exchange on online order or error when entering the shipping address.

Discounts and promotions
Promo "We pay tax equivalent"

During these promotions, the discount equivalent to 13.02% is adjusted at checkout or when online payment with discount code, the legal taxes are still added to the invoice. The calculation is as follows: an item at 100 $ + taxes = 114.98 $ ---> 100 $ - 13.02% = 86.98 $ ---> 86.98 $ + taxes = 100,00 $
