Delivery FAQs

How much is delivery?

We charge a $10 flat rate for delivery. Orders over $100 will receive free delivery. Make sure to select this option at check-out.

How does delivery work?

When you place an order and select delivery at checkout, you must pay through the Paypal payment processor (NOTE: you do NOT need a PayPal account to pay). Once your order is placed, a member of our team will reach out to schedule a time to deliver. We prefer that someone is available to accept the delivery to ensure that your order makes it to you. Please keep in mind that we use the Momiji drivers to facilitate deliveries so this service may not be as fast as other couriers. We aim to make deliveries once a week.

Where will you deliver?

We will deliver to most locations in Toronto. We will deliver to various areas in the GTA: going as far north as Richmond Hill, as far east as Oshawa, and as far west as Mississauga. The best way to know if we will deliver to you is to fill out your address and postal code during check-out. If your location falls outside of our delivery radius, you will only see the pick-up option at check-out. We currently do not deliver outside of Ontario, Canada. If you would like more information about delivery or to suggest a new delivery location, please contact us.
