Shipping policy

Last Updated: July 18, 2026

Welcome to MugMuse.store. We believe receiving a new mug, tumbler, or glass should feel as pleasant as settling into a warm Scandinavian café with your favourite drink. This Shipping Policy explains how we process, prepare, dispatch, track, and deliver orders placed through our online store.

Please read this policy before placing an order. By purchasing from MugMuse.store, you acknowledge that you have reviewed and accepted the shipping terms described below.

Shopify allows merchants to publish a dedicated Shipping Policy and configure shipping zones, rates, delivery methods, fulfillment locations, and estimated transit times. The shipping information displayed during checkout may therefore vary depending on the customer’s destination, order contents, and available delivery services.

1. Business and Contact Information

This Shipping Policy applies to purchases made through MugMuse.store.

Store Name: MugMuse.store
Business Address: 141 Markham St, Toronto, ON M6J 2G4, Canada
Customer Support Email: support@MugMuse.store
Telephone: (647) 220-8619

For questions about processing, tracking, delivery, damaged parcels, missing packages, or address corrections, please contact us and include your order number.

We generally respond within 1–3 business days, excluding weekends and Canadian public holidays.

Please note that our business address is not automatically a customer return location. Products must not be returned to this address unless our customer service team has provided written authorization and confirmed the correct return instructions.

2. Shipping Destinations

MugMuse.store aims to serve customers in Canada and other supported international destinations.

The countries and regions available for shipping will be displayed during checkout. If your destination cannot be selected or no shipping method appears, we may not currently be able to deliver to that location.

Shipping availability may depend on:

The destination country or postal code

Carrier coverage

Product type and dimensions

Customs restrictions

Local import rules

Remote-area limitations

Temporary transportation disruptions

Supplier or fulfillment location

Applicable sanctions or trade restrictions

We reserve the right to decline or cancel an order when delivery to the provided destination is unavailable, legally restricted, commercially impractical, or considered excessively risky.

If we cancel an order for one of these reasons after payment has been collected, we will issue a refund for the cancelled products and any applicable shipping charges.

3. Order Processing Time

Most orders require 1–3 business days for processing before shipment.

Processing includes:

Payment verification

Fraud screening

Inventory confirmation

Product inspection

Protective packaging

Shipping-label preparation

Carrier assignment

Transfer to the fulfillment facility or shipping carrier

Business days generally mean Monday through Friday and exclude weekends and Canadian statutory holidays.

Orders placed after a daily processing cutoff, on weekends, or during public holidays may begin processing on the next business day.

Processing time is separate from delivery time. For example, an order requiring two business days to process and seven business days to travel may arrive approximately nine business days after purchase.

Some orders may require additional processing time because of:

High seasonal demand

Major promotional events

Address verification

Payment review

Large order quantities

Product customization

Inventory transfers

Quality-control concerns

Weather or operational disruptions

If a substantial delay occurs before shipment, we will make reasonable efforts to notify you using the email address associated with your order.

4. Estimated Delivery Time

Our standard estimated delivery timeframe is generally:

7–10 business days after dispatch

This estimate may vary depending on the destination, selected shipping method, product availability, customs processing, carrier performance, and fulfillment location.

The delivery estimate shown at checkout or in an order confirmation is an estimate rather than a guaranteed arrival date unless we expressly state otherwise.

Shipping-carrier delivery standards are generally calculated under normal operating conditions and may change because of holidays, volume surges, labour disruptions, equipment failures, epidemics, severe weather, or other circumstances beyond the carrier’s reasonable control. Canada Post also explains that delivery standards are expected transit times rather than guarantees for many services.

Delivery may take longer for:

Remote or rural addresses

Islands and military locations

PO boxes

International destinations

Areas with limited carrier service

Orders requiring customs clearance

Peak holiday periods

Products dispatched from different fulfillment facilities

Customers should allow additional time during November, December, major sales events, public emergencies, or widespread transportation disruptions.

5. Free Shipping

MugMuse.store may offer free standard shipping to eligible destinations.

When free shipping is available, it will be displayed during checkout before payment is submitted.

Free shipping generally applies only to the standard delivery service selected by MugMuse.store. It does not necessarily include:

Express delivery

Priority processing

Same-day delivery

Special handling

Remote-area surcharges

Customs duties

Import taxes

Brokerage charges

Address-correction fees

Reshipment caused by customer error

Free shipping promotions may be subject to minimum order values, geographic restrictions, eligible-product requirements, or limited promotional periods.

Shopify allows stores to offer free shipping as a configured checkout rate, including rates based on destination, product, weight, or order value. The shipping option actually shown at checkout will govern the order.

6. Shipping Rates

Where free shipping is not available, the applicable shipping charge will be displayed at checkout.

Shipping rates may be calculated based on:

Delivery destination

Package weight

Package dimensions

Number of products

Product type

Order value

Carrier pricing

Selected delivery speed

Remote-area surcharges

Fulfillment location

Promotional eligibility

You will have an opportunity to review the shipping charge before placing your order.

We are not responsible for additional charges imposed independently by a customer’s bank, payment provider, customs authority, postal operator, or local courier.

7. Order Confirmation

After an order is submitted, you should receive an order confirmation at the email address provided during checkout.

The confirmation normally includes:

Order number

Products purchased

Billing information

Shipping address

Order total

Selected shipping method

Any applicable taxes or shipping charges

Please review the confirmation promptly.

If any information is incorrect, contact support@MugMuse.store as soon as possible. We will make reasonable efforts to update the order, but changes cannot be guaranteed once processing or fulfillment has begun.

An automated confirmation shows that we received your order. It does not necessarily mean that the order has been finally accepted, verified, or dispatched.

8. Shipping Confirmation and Tracking

When tracking is available, you will receive a shipping confirmation containing a tracking number or tracking link after the parcel has been dispatched.

Tracking information may require 24–72 hours to update after the label is created. During this period, the carrier may display messages such as:

Label created

Shipment information received

Awaiting carrier pickup

Pre-shipment

Tracking unavailable

These messages do not necessarily mean the parcel has failed to ship. In some cases, the first visible update occurs after the parcel reaches a sorting facility.

Customers are responsible for monitoring tracking information and arranging timely collection or receipt of the parcel.

Some low-cost, remote-area, or international shipping services may provide limited tracking. Where full tracking is unavailable, delivery scans may appear only at major transit points or at final delivery.

9. Multiple Packages

An order containing several products may be shipped in more than one package.

This may happen when:

Products are stored at different fulfillment locations

Items become available at different times

Products require different packaging

A package exceeds carrier size or weight limits

Separate shipment reduces the risk of breakage

When an order is divided, the packages may arrive on different days and may have separate tracking numbers.

You will not be charged additional shipping solely because we decide to divide an order, unless a separate charge was clearly disclosed and accepted during checkout.

Receiving one package does not necessarily mean that the entire order has been delivered. Please review the shipping confirmation and tracking details before reporting missing items.

10. Packaging and Fragile Products

Many MugMuse.store products are made from glass, ceramic, stainless steel, plastic, wood, or combinations of these materials.

Glass and ceramic drinkware can be fragile. We therefore use reasonable protective packaging intended to reduce movement, impact, scratching, and breakage during transportation.

Packaging may include:

Protective sleeves

Bubble wrapping

Foam inserts

Moulded supports

Inner cartons

Dividers

Reinforced outer packaging

Protective paper or cushioning

The appearance of the shipping carton may differ from website photography or gift packaging. Outer packaging is primarily intended to protect the product during delivery.

Minor compression, marking, or wear to the external shipping box does not automatically mean that the product itself is damaged.

Customers should open packages carefully and avoid using sharp blades close to the product.

11. Correct Shipping Information

Customers are responsible for providing a complete and accurate delivery address.

The address should include, where applicable:

Recipient’s full name

Street number and street name

Apartment, suite, or unit number

City

Province, state, or region

Postal or ZIP code

Country

Valid telephone number

Access code or delivery instruction

MugMuse.store is not responsible for delivery problems caused by information entered incorrectly or incompletely by the customer.

Contact us immediately if you notice an error. We may attempt to correct the address before shipment, but we cannot guarantee that the request will be completed.

After dispatch, carriers may refuse address changes or charge an address-correction fee. Any additional cost resulting from customer-provided address errors may be charged to the customer or deducted from an available refund, where permitted by law.

12. Address Changes After Dispatch

Once a parcel has been dispatched, MugMuse.store may be unable to change the destination.

Customers may contact the shipping carrier directly to request:

Delivery redirection

Pickup at a local facility

Safe-location instructions

A delivery-date adjustment

An address correction

Such services are controlled by the carrier and are not guaranteed.

MugMuse.store cannot accept responsibility for unauthorized redirection arranged by the customer or another person with access to the tracking information.

If a package is returned because an address was incorrect or incomplete, our returned-to-sender procedures will apply.

13. Delivery Attempts and Signature Requirements

Depending on the carrier, order value, location, or product, delivery may require:

A signature

Identification

A secure access code

Collection from a postal facility

Collection from a parcel locker

Presence of an adult

The carrier may attempt delivery more than once or leave instructions for collection.

Customers are responsible for collecting parcels within the carrier’s stated holding period.

A parcel that is not collected may be returned to the sender. Additional costs may apply for reshipment when non-collection was not caused by MugMuse.store or the carrier.

14. Safe-Drop and Unattended Delivery

Some carriers may leave parcels at a door, porch, reception desk, mailroom, lobby, parcel locker, concierge, or another location considered reasonably secure.

The carrier determines whether unattended delivery is appropriate.

Customers should provide an address where someone can safely receive the parcel. Where available, customers may use carrier-managed delivery preferences.

MugMuse.store is not responsible for loss, theft, weather exposure, or damage occurring after a parcel has been correctly delivered to the address provided, except where applicable law makes us responsible.

However, we will reasonably assist customers in obtaining tracking records or carrier documentation.

15. Orders Marked as Delivered but Not Received

If tracking shows that an order was delivered but you cannot locate it, please:

Check the mailbox, porch, garage, side entrance, lobby, mailroom, and parcel locker

Ask family members or household residents

Contact the building concierge or reception desk

Check with immediate neighbours

Review any delivery photograph or location note

Confirm that the order address was correct

Allow up to two additional business days because some parcels are scanned prematurely

If the parcel remains missing, contact us at support@MugMuse.store.

We may ask you to:

Confirm your delivery address

Complete a non-receipt declaration

Contact the carrier

Provide identification

File a police report in suspected theft cases

Cooperate with a carrier investigation

A refund or replacement is not automatic when tracking confirms delivery. We will review the circumstances, available evidence, carrier findings, and applicable legal requirements before determining the appropriate resolution.

16. Lost Packages

A shipment may be considered lost when it has not arrived within a reasonable period and the carrier confirms that it cannot be located or delivered.

Please contact us if tracking has not updated for an extended period or if delivery is substantially overdue.

We may open a carrier investigation. Investigations can take several business days or longer, particularly for international shipments.

During the investigation, customers may be asked to provide:

Order number

Confirmation of the shipping address

A signed declaration

Communication received from the carrier

Other reasonable documentation

When a parcel is confirmed lost, we may provide a replacement or refund, depending on product availability, customer preference, carrier findings, and applicable law.

17. Damaged Deliveries

Inspect your order promptly after delivery.

If a product arrives broken, cracked, chipped, leaking, crushed, or otherwise damaged, contact us as soon as possible and preferably within 7 calendar days.

Include:

Your order number

A description of the damage

Photographs of the product

Photographs of the inner packaging

Photographs of the outer shipping carton

A photograph of the shipping label

A video where necessary to demonstrate the issue

Do not discard the product or packaging until we confirm that they are no longer needed. The carrier or fulfillment partner may require them for inspection.

After verification, we may offer a replacement, refund, replacement component, partial refund, or another appropriate remedy under our Return & Refund Policy.

18. Missing or Incorrect Items

If your delivery is missing an item or contains the wrong product, contact us promptly.

Before reporting a missing item, confirm whether the order was divided into multiple shipments.

Please provide:

Order number

Name of the missing or incorrect product

Photographs of all products received

Photograph of the parcel contents

Photograph of the outer packaging and shipping label

We will review fulfillment and shipping records and provide an appropriate solution.

19. Delayed Packages

Delivery delays can occur for reasons outside our direct control, including:

Severe weather

Wildfires or flooding

Carrier congestion

Public holidays

Customs inspections

Labour disruptions

Political unrest

Transportation accidents

Flight cancellations

Border restrictions

Public health emergencies

Natural disasters

Incorrect addresses

Remote-area service limitations

Unanticipated order volume

We do not guarantee compensation solely because a shipment arrives later than an estimated delivery date.

However, mandatory consumer rights remain unaffected. Ontario guidance states that, in applicable circumstances, goods ordered under a consumer agreement must be delivered within 30 days after the promised delivery date, or the consumer may have a right to request a refund.

Contact us if an order is significantly delayed so that we can review the tracking history and determine the appropriate next step.

20. Customs, Duties, and Import Taxes

International orders may be reviewed by the customs authority of the destination country.

Customers may be required to pay:

Customs duties

Import taxes

Value-added tax

Goods and services tax

Brokerage fees

Postal handling fees

Clearance charges

Local administrative fees

Unless expressly stated at checkout, these charges are not included in the product price or shipping fee and are the customer’s responsibility.

Customs authorities determine whether goods may enter a country and whether duties or taxes apply. For goods entering Canada, the Canada Border Services Agency reviews international mail and determines applicable import charges.

MugMuse.store cannot predict the exact charges imposed by every destination.

Customers should consult their local customs authority before ordering if they need an estimate.

We will not intentionally declare a false value, describe merchandise as a gift when it is not a gift, or provide inaccurate customs information.

21. Customs Delays

Customs processing is controlled by government authorities and is not included in ordinary carrier transit estimates unless expressly stated.

A parcel may be delayed because customs requires:

Inspection

Payment of duties or taxes

Proof of purchase

Identity verification

Product documentation

Additional declaration information

The customer is responsible for responding promptly to legitimate requests from the carrier or customs authority.

Failure to pay charges or provide requested information may result in the package being returned, abandoned, seized, or destroyed.

22. Refused Shipments and Unpaid Import Charges

Refusing delivery does not automatically cancel an order or guarantee a full refund.

If a customer refuses a correctly fulfilled shipment or fails to pay applicable import charges, the parcel may be returned to the sender.

Any refund may be reduced by reasonable costs associated with:

Original shipping

Return shipping

Carrier charges

Customs fees

Import charges billed to us

Storage costs

Handling expenses

A refund will generally be considered only after the returned parcel is received and inspected.

No refund may be available if the carrier or customs authority abandons or destroys the shipment rather than returning it.

23. Returned-to-Sender Packages

A parcel may be returned to sender because of:

An incorrect address

An incomplete address

An unavailable recipient

Failure to collect the parcel

Refusal of delivery

Unpaid duties or taxes

An inaccessible building

Carrier delivery restrictions

Repeated unsuccessful delivery attempts

After the parcel is returned and inspected, we may offer:

Reshipment after payment of applicable shipping costs

Refund of the eligible product value

Another reasonable resolution

Original shipping costs and return charges may be non-refundable when the return was caused by customer-provided information or failure to receive the shipment.

24. Shipping Restrictions

We do not knowingly ship to locations or recipients where doing so would violate applicable laws, sanctions, trade controls, carrier restrictions, or product regulations.

Certain products may be restricted because of:

Material composition

Package dimensions

Destination-country rules

Safety standards

Customs requirements

Carrier policies

We may cancel affected products or the entire order and issue an appropriate refund.

25. Order Cancellations

Contact us as soon as possible to request cancellation.

We may be able to cancel an order before fulfillment begins. However, cancellation cannot be guaranteed once the order has entered processing or shipment.

After dispatch, the order must generally be handled according to our Return & Refund Policy.

A customer’s statutory cancellation rights under applicable consumer law are not limited by this section.

26. Force Majeure

MugMuse.store is not responsible for shipping delays or failures caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including:

Natural disasters

Government action

War or civil unrest

Pandemics

Border closures

Cyberattacks

Utility outages

Carrier failures

Labour strikes

Transportation shutdowns

Extreme weather

Supply-chain disruption

Where possible, we will provide updates and make reasonable efforts to complete delivery or offer an appropriate alternative.

27. Customer Responsibilities

To help ensure successful delivery, customers should:

Provide accurate contact and address information

Review the order confirmation

Monitor tracking updates

Remain available for delivery

Collect parcels promptly

Pay legitimate customs charges

Inspect products after arrival

Report problems promptly

Retain packaging when damage is discovered

Cooperate with reasonable carrier investigations

Failure to take these steps may affect our ability to resolve a shipping claim.

28. Consumer Protection Rights

This Shipping Policy provides contractual information about how MugMuse.store handles fulfillment and delivery.

It does not replace or restrict mandatory consumer rights.

Ontario’s Consumer Protection Act may apply to online transactions when either the consumer or internet seller is located in Ontario. Online transactions over applicable thresholds may also be subject to disclosure, contract, delivery, cancellation, and refund requirements.

If a provision of this Shipping Policy conflicts with a non-waivable law, the applicable law will prevail.

29. Changes to This Shipping Policy

We may update this policy to reflect changes in:

Carrier services

Shipping zones

Delivery estimates

Fulfillment locations

Shopify functionality

Customs requirements

Business operations

Legal obligations

The latest version will be posted on MugMuse.store with a revised “Last Updated” date.

The Shipping Policy in effect when an order is placed will generally govern that order unless a later version provides more favourable terms or applicable law requires otherwise.
