Cancellations & changes

Our goal at Abskreations is to process orders efficiently for fast delivery. Gifts are immediately prepared after orders are placed and therefore cannot be changed or cancelled within 48 hours of the shipping date.

Customization

Every year, our design team scours the globe to carefully curate the finest gifts to fill our Abskreations. From new and well-loved brands to unique products made exclusively for us. Each assortment is precisely crafted to fit the theme of accompanying products and physical vessel size selected. For a number of reasons, we strongly recommend that you select a basket designed by our team of experts. However, if desired, we would be pleased to customize any one of our Abskreations to your specific selections for an additional charge of $15 per basket. Customization services are provided on a complimentary basis for orders of 25 or more Abskreations. Please note we are unfortunately unable to offer customization during November and December unless more than 25 units are ordered.

Damages

At Abskreations, we take great pride in selecting only the freshest and finest products available. If for some reason, your gift arrives damaged, please notify us within 48 hours of receipt and we will be happy to provide a replacement.

Exchanges & return

Pursuant to health and safety regulations, we are unable to exchange or accept returns on food products. Non-perishable items, however, may be exchanged at our head office. Exchanges are valid for 30 days from the order date and are subject to a 15% restocking fee. Please note that refunds may only be issued to the purchaser and incurred shipping charges are not refundable.

Food safety

Please note that food items may be photographed opened up so that you can get a true sense of the product. However, the actual product sent will be individually wrapped to ensure ultimate freshness and to comply with food safety standards.

Substitution

We reserve the right to make substitutions of equal or greater value as required to ensure the timely delivery of your gifts. As Canada’s leading gift delivery company, our intention is to always send gifts as shown. However, sometimes situations beyond our control arise where this is not possible. For example, a component supplier may discontinue a product or change packaging without notifying us. Please rest assured that our goal is to exceed your expectations and build a long term relationship with you. This brand value guides everything that we do at Abskreations!

Undeliverable items

From time to time, we attempt delivery and the gift is undeliverable. This can occur if the item is refused at the time of delivery, an incorrect address was provided, the order was missing information, the recipient moved, it was deemed not safe to be left, and so on.
If a gift is undeliverable, it is returned to our head office and the sender will be notified at the phone number and/or email address provided when the order was placed.

For delivery to be attempted a second time, a second delivery fee will be applied, since a second delivery will be made.

If the sender does not wish to reattempt delivery, the base cost of the gift less the 15% handling and restocking fee will be refunded to the purchaser. Please note the original delivery charge will not be refunded since the original delivery attempt was made.

If we are unable to make arrangements for redelivery within 30 days of the return, the gift will be considered abandoned.
