Frequently Asked Questions

Returns & Exchanges

It is our goal to provide our customers with as much information as possible in product descriptions. If you are unsure of any details, we invite you to contact us at customerservice@daubanddesign.com. We do our best to respond to all customer inquiries as soon as possible, and we encourage constructive feedback from all customers! We appreciate kindness and will do our best to help.

Please note: Our holiday exchange period will be extended for all gifts bought from Nov 8 - Dec 24, 2023. All exchanges must be completed by January 7, 2024. No exceptions. No returns. All sale items are final sale.

If you are unsatisfied with your purchase, please contact us at customerservice@daubanddesign.com within 7 days of receiving your order. We will provide you with an address which you can address your return to. 

There are no refunds or exchanges on opened/used DAUB Mats, underwear, socks or masks due to hygienic reasons. Any return items must be on unopened packages and all packaging must be intact. Please check all details prior to ordering! 

There are no refunds or exchanges on sale items. Sale items are final sale.

All inquiries for a return or exchange must be initiated within 7 days of receiving your order. We will provide you with a shipping address to ship your items to within 5 days of receiving the address so we can resell it in a reasonable amount of time. Our collections are often limited edition and produced in small quantities.

Send your items via Canada Post regular shipping with tracking - no need for express or priority. Please forward us the tracking number once you have posted them. Any items sent back after 5 days are eligible for a store credit. We do not accept exchanges after 30 days from your initial order date.

We do not offer return labels for shipping at this time. Our margins are set to keep our prices as low as possible for our customers, and rather than charging more for our items, returns are paid for by the customer. To decrease the need for customer returns, we try to be as transparent as possible about sizing and we do our best to respond to any questions prior to an order being placed. We are happy to provide you with more details on our products wherever necessary! 

To be eligible for return or exchange, items must be in their original condition with their tags in place. We inspect all items received by return, and we reserve the right to refuse a return if we deem it worn, washed or damaged in any way. This includes animal hair & scents. So, please treat your items with kindness and do not remove the tags when you receive them until you know you are keeping them!

When packaging your item for return, please ensure that it is packaged properly and folded neatly, since we are not responsible for damage in the mail and will not accept returns in less than their original condition. All tags must be in place and tems must be clean.

Please note: Our holiday exchange period will be extended for all gifts bought from Nov 8 - Dec 24, 2023. All exchanges must be completed by January 7, 2024. No exceptions. No returns. All sale items are final sale.

For a return, you will receive the amount of the item refunded back to you, which is your final amount paid less original shipping and handling costs. The amount of an exchanged item will be credited towards your next order, less original shipping and taxes. If you qualified for free shipping but are returning items and no longer would qualify, the amount refunded/credited will be less the original shipping cost. 

If we are charged any excess amount for an item being returned, the extra leg of shipping or duties will come off the amount of the return. See below for how to mail back an international return and avoid duties

Any parcels shipping from the USA or overseas MUST be labelled with “Return of Online Purchase of Goods Made in Canada.” You can simply write this very clearly on the outside of your package.

Without this written clearly on your parcel, your parcel may be charged with duties and taxes upon entering Canada - we do not want this to happen! If your package is not clearly labelled with this message and we are charged duties and taxes, the amount we are charged to accept the parcel will be deducted from your total refund. On the rare occasion when you have clearly labelled your package with this message and we are charged for duties, our team will handle it with no charge to you.

If you purchased an item at one of our stockists, please contact them directly to handle your exchange or refund. 

If you met us at a consumer show - Hi! If you’re looking to return your purchase from shows like One of a Kind Toronto, Circle Craft, Art Market and Butterdome, you must contact us within 14 days from the date of your purchase and have your receipt on hand. We offer exchanges only for show purchases, because of the availability of stock. When we meet you in person at a show, we do our best to communicate the fit, fabric and any concerns in case of fit for a gifted item. Please contact us for a return address. Items purchased in-person and eligible for exchange are shipped to us at the shipper’s expense, and must be sent within 5 days of contact. Please provide us with a tracking number for your parcel once it has shipped so we can look out for it. 

Items purchased in store may be returned for up to 7 days and exchanged within a 14 day time frame from date of purchase.

All items purchased on sale or at a warehouse sale are final sale. 

Shipping & Delivery

Yes! If you live in Vancouver and wish to pick up an online order from the store at 3012 Granville Street, please leave us a note in the "order notes" on the Review Your Cart page and then email us to confirm. We will hold orders for 5 business days before we ship out. All shipping fees are refunded upon pick up. Please feel free to give our staff a gentle reminder and we'll do so right then!

 

We offer both Canada Post and courier shipping such as Purolator, UPS and FedEX. Our preference is Purolator and UPS due to their proximity to our studio.  Shipping rates are calculated by the service and depend on your location and the total weight of your order.  If an item is time-sensitive, please choose the most appropriate service. We are not responsible for the delivery and no carrier is honouring guaranteed deliveries in the pandemic.

If your parcels are usually delivered to a "community mailbox" with Canada Post, we suggest selected a courier option such as Purolator or UPS. 

All shipping options within Canada are tracked unless you have chosen our lettermail option which is intended only for 1-2 face masks. Lettermail is untracked. We are not responsible for lost or stolen lettermail packages. I.e. if it is lost in transit, it will not be replaced. Choose tracked packages should you be concerned.

We have competitive rates for USA shipping and are able to offer a flat rate of $15 CAD to our US clientele. This service allows us to utilize both USPS and UPS.

As of spring 2020, we are no longer offering International Shipments outside of Canada and the USA. COVID-19 has slowed mail delivery and it is too risky to ship and lose the package. We ask for your patience as the mail systems return to normal and we would love to help you then.

We aim to keep our garment's prices competitive and reasonable. Because so many of our items are purchased in-person, we do not calculate excess shipping margins into the cost of the individual garments.

We are happy to cover the cost of shipping on orders over $250 of regular priced clothing (excludes the DAUB mat). Free shipping covers regular, expedited shipping services from Canada Post, or whichever service is most economical for us. Occasionally, a courier will be less and we will select this option automatically.  Should you select Express Shipping as your method of free shipping, know that it will be sent the most economical way, not the express option. We reserve the right to choose the method of "free shipping". 

"Free shipping" is not free for us and therefore we need to exclude some items. Exclusions include sale & discount items as well as the DAUB mat. Free shipping and discount codes are not eligible either. When we offer a sale, our margins have already been reduced and we cannot also absorb the cost of shipping as well.

Shipping charges are calculated by postal services, and are outside of our control, although you can select from various options upon checkout: Canada Post, Purolator, UPS and Fedex.

The DAUB Mat has to ship separately due to the size of the product. All items ordered with the mat will be shipped separately at an additional cost to us. If you order ANY quantity of items alongside the mat, the shipping price will automatically update for 2 seperate shipments.

If you do use a discount code on an order including a DAUB Mat, you will receive an invoice for the shipping of the mat. No items will ship until the charge for shipping is paid. Please just don't use the code on DAUB Mat orders :)

We recommend choosing a secure location for your delivery address. We are not responsible for stolen or lost shipments. We do not offer signature upon-delivery as a regular service. If you require signature upon-delivery, you must contact us ahead of time at customerservice@daubanddesign.com to arrange for it.

If the address provided to us is incorrect or the package is returned to us for any reason, we will contact you as soon as possible. It is your responsibility to provide us with the correct address and to cover additional shipping costs. Many people are utilizing "auto-fill" on their computers/mobile and suite numbers or street addresses are missing. PLEASE double check your address. We are not responsible for additional shipping charges or items lost in transit.

Sales & Discounts

As a small business, it is our goal to keep our prices fair and competitive. We offer discounts as a thank-you to our customers, however, our discounts are done with transparency and we have often discounted as much as we can given our costs.

Discount codes are NOT eligible on sale or discounted items, and any sale or discounted items will be considered final sale. We ask that you do not apply a discount code to a sale item even if the website allows you, since we do not want to incorporate extra into the retail prices of our garments.

Your items will not ship if you use a discount code on a discounted item. This includes pre-sale items. As a small business, we do our best to keep our prices down overall, since we meet many of our valued customers in person throughout the year. We appreciate your understanding, and should you have any questions about our policy, please feel free to reach out to us!

Sale items are final sale. We only do sales rarely and when we do, it's because we only have a few left of an item. We offer as much information as we can on the site and are available to answer questions for fit and fabrics via email at customerservice@daubanddesign.com. We are highly available to answer any questions pre-purchase.
