Terms & Conditions, Refund and Returns Policies

Last updated: 2025-10-26

Orders & Payments

  • All prices are listed in CAD unless otherwise noted.
  • Payment is due at checkout. Orders will not be processed until payment is complete.
  • All orders will be processed within 24-48hrs.

Shipping

  • Processing times vary depending on the item (handmade vs. print-on-demand).
  • Print-on-demand and curated supplier items may ship directly from our partners; please allow 7–14 business days for delivery.
  • Buyers are responsible for providing correct shipping information. We are not liable for lost packages due to incorrect addresses.
  • Orders to Quebec are not available at this time. The province’s unique labeling and packaging laws make fulfillment impractical for small businesses operating outside Quebec.
  • Regional and Local Fulfillment is used wherever possible to offset extra fees incurred by import and export, however additional duty and taxes may be incurred on delivery.

Returns & Refunds

  • All sales are final. Because each item is handmade and/or produced to order, we do not accept returns or issue refunds.
  • Exceptions: If your order arrives damaged or defective, please contact us within 7 days of delivery. Include photos of the item and packaging so we can investigate and work with you to find a fair resolution.
  • We do not offer refunds for items delayed in transit, as shipping times are estimates and outside our direct control.

Duties, Taxes & Import Fees

  • Buyers are responsible for any applicable customs duties, taxes, or import fees.
  • For international orders (outside Canada), please be aware that these charges can be significant, depending on your country’s policies.

Handmade vs. Curated Collections

  • Made by Me: These items are designed and crafted by Ottawa Valley Creations.
  • Oddities & Convenience: These items are curated from global suppliers, selected for fun and utility. Some may feature designs created in-house by Ottawa Valley Creations. Shipping times may vary accordingly.

Customer Responsibility

  • By purchasing, you agree to these policies.
