Frequently asked questions

For these same provinces, shipping costs are 9,99$ for any order of less than 75$ (before taxes).

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.

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.

If you're outside Canada, you won't have the choice of selecting Canada as your country of origin, but you can still enter your full address in the second address line provided.

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 within 2 to 3 working days 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 [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.

How to use a C&C gift card?

To use a C&C gift card, simply select "Carte-cadeau Charlotte et Charlie" as the payment method at checkout.

Then click on "Use a Gift Card".

You'll then be able to enter your card number and choose the amount you'd like to spend on the gift card. You can then enter your bank details to finalize your payment.

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.

Rewards cannot be used on promotional products, sales or on the purchase of Charlotte & Charlie gift cards.

Order tracking, modification and cancellation
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.

In the case of an incomplete order, to optimize shipping, when smaller items are ordered at the same time as larger items, we insert the smaller items into the packaging of the larger items.

You can also use the tracking number provided to check whether your parcel has been sent in several packages. In this case, the different packages may not be delivered at the same time.

If you still can't find your items, please contact our customer service department at [email protected]. Our team 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 [email protected] or call 418-651-2828 ext. 120. Note that orders with different delivery and billing addresses can be subject to certain checks.

How can I cancel my order?

Once the transaction has been completed, it is the customer's responsibility to contact customer service to request an order cancellation. Order cancellations must be made as soon as possible by telephone or e-mail. Orders cannot be cancelled once the shipping process has begun.

By proceeding with the payment of an order, the customer commits to the transaction and is responsible for cancelling the order if he/she changes his/her mind. In the event that the customer wishes to cancel an order after it has been shipped, the customer will be responsible for return shipping if the items purchased are eligible for return.

Order confirmation e-mails are sometimes found in junk mail; it is the customer's responsibility to check their e-mail for our communications. If the transaction has been charged to your payment method, you should consider the payment as an order confirmation. We invite you to contact us to clarify the situation if necessary.

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 $
