HOLIDAY SHIPPING FAQS

IS  SUNSHINE COAST OLIVE OIL CO. FULFILLING ORDERS AND SHIPPING PRODUCTS?

Yes, absolutely! But please note that  orders are not picked up by couriers on weekends or holidays.   In addition, due to higher holiday volume, orders may take a bit longer tor us to pack or for couriers to pick them up.  THE RECENT CATASTROPHIC FLOODING IN BC HAS NOT HAD AN EFFECT ON OUR ORDER PROCESSING BUT IT HAS ALTERED PARCEL PICKUP TIMES AND, DEPENDING ON WHERE YOU LIVE, IT MAY SLOW DOWN THE TRANSIT TIME IT TAKES FOR YOUR PARCEL TO ARRIVE.

Darn! We should have bought that 2nd hand sleigh when Santa posted it on Craig’s List.

NOV. 25th FLOOD UPDATE:  Due to the extreme flooding, couriers are temporarily suspendiog/delaying parcel pickup and delivery.  If you have received an email from us with shipping and tracking information, then your order has been packed and scheduled by us for and it is awaiting pickup by a courier such as Canada Post, Fedex, Canpar or Purolator.  Normally, once a parcel is scheduled for a courier to pick up, they are picked up within 1-2 business days.  Due to the recent flooding, WE ARE SEEING SIGNIFICANT, TEMPORARY AND INTERMITTENT DELAYS, of up ro  2-3 working days for pickup for non express shipments.  These are temporary delays that we and the courier drivers have no control over.

If you need your parcel quickly, we have been successful at scheduling FEDEX EXPRESS courier shipments for customers who are willing to pay  the full price for the express courier service..  If you would like your parcel shipped EXPRESS, write to us in the customer notes at checkout and we can quote you the express shipment fee.  Please note, we cannot guarantee that this service will be working at the time of your order, but so far, it has been.

WHEN IS YOUR HOLIDAY SHIPPING DEADLINE?

Right now we strongly advise all customers to purchase holiday gifts as soon as possible.

WHAT ARE  YOUR HOLIDAY SHIPPING DEADLINES

We are getting parcels packed and shipped as quickly as possible, usually within 1 business day but sometimes 2.  If you order on the weekend, that USUALLY means your parcel will be packed by Monday.  Then, it is in the lap of the Gods (aka parcel carriers).  Here is the latest information we have on shipping deadlines for carriers.
