GENERAL INFORMATION

GENERAL INFORMATION AND HOW TO GET IN TOUCH

WHO ARE YOU?

As of Sunday, May 7 at 5:00pm EST, our brick & mortar location in downtown Ottawa is permanently closed.

I'm a one-woman show brand + online clothing boutique based in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. Our graphic tees have been designed, printed and pressed in house since 2017.

I love supporting other women-led, local and Canadian businesses and make every effort to carry a wide range of high-quality goods from apparel, candles, drinkware, accessories, jewelry, hair accessories, paper products & more. You can see all the brands we carry here.

HOW CAN I REACH YOU?

We can be reached via email at hello @ bbxcollection.com

SHOPPING WITH US

DETAILS ON PLACING AN ORDER, THE USE OF DISCOUNT CODES, ACCESSING OUR SIZE GUIDE AND MORE...

ORDER PROCESSING TIMES

Please allow 3-8 days processing time for your order. This is separate from estimated shipping times. It is usually much quicker than this. Apparel is often printed & pressed to order (with select stock of bestsellers always available) and I work to get out as quickly as possible.

Once you receive your shipping notification, please allow up to 24-72 hours (or the next business day if you ordered is processed on a weekend) to allow tracking and relevant information to become current. Our shipping carriers pick up from us daily.

We are always updating our stock/online listings to ensure we can fulfill your order immediately. At times there may be issues with stock limitations and we'll be sure to contact you as soon as possible to offer solutions.

CAN I CANCEL MY ORDER?

Once an order is placed, it's immediately in our queue to be processed and we are unable to cancel or make changes to your order. Please ensure you're 100% ready to hit submit on your order when you place it. As a small business this also offers us safeguards against fraudulent activity.

Should the item(s) not work out, please refer to our return/exchange policy for your options. As a reminder, return shipping is the responsibility of the customer.

IS MY SALE ORDER FINAL?

All accessories, jewelry, gift cards, intimates and sale items with a discount greater than 40% are considered FINAL SALE.

NO EXCHANGE OR STORE CREDIT WILL BE GIVEN. NO EXCEPTIONS. Promo codes cannot be applied to orders placed in the past.

HELP WITH SIZING

Our size guide is linked in every product listing but can also be found here.

PROMOTIONAL CODES + DISCOUNTS

Currently the Shopify platform does not allow stacking of discount codes — unfortunately we cannot change this.

All promotional codes and discounts MUST be applied at the time of checkout.

We will no longer be retroactively applying codes and/or refunding the difference due to human error.

No exceptions.

I'M SHOPPING FOR A GIFT. CAN YOU WRAP IT?

We will happily package your order in gift wrap (no boxes) and include a personalized card, please leave your note at checkout and we will enclose a card with your message.

If your item is a gift - please indicate whether or not we should include the packing slip (includes item details, price, billing address & shipping address.)

During the holiday season, with increased volume, there is a premium fee for gift wrapping which is available for purchase at checkout.

CUSTOM APPAREL

If you're interested in having us print custom apparel for your event, please send us the scope of the work with as much detail as possible using the contact form below.

GIFT CARDS

Gift cards can be purchased HERE. They can be used online and in store. Gift cards never expire. Since gift cards are a form of payment, they CAN be used in conjunction with a discount code at checkout.

RETURNS + EXCHANGES

FOR INFORMATION OR TO START A RETURN REQUEST, VISIT OUR RETURN/EXCHANGE POLICY.

I CHANGED MY MIND — CAN I CANCEL MY ORDER?

No. Once you've agreed to our terms and conditions and clicked submit, your order is placed and it's immediately in our queue to be processed and packed.

Like other major retailers, we are unable to cancel or make changes to your order. Please ensure you're 100% ready to hit submit on your order when you place it. As a small business this also offers us safeguards against fraudulent activity.

Should your item(s) not work out, please refer to our return/exchange policy for your options. As a reminder, return shipping is the responsibility of the customer.

REFUND POLICY

At this time, we do not offer refunds. We offer store credit for any returns in the form of a gift card — which never expires.

As of Sunday, May 7 our brick & mortar location is permanently closed. All returns must be processed online and shipped back to us. Upon receipt, store credit will be sent to the email associated with the order/on file.

STORE CREDIT

When an exchange/return is processed, the store credit is issued in the form of a gift card which can be used online or in store.

The gift card containing the unique code is sent via email to the address on file (or as requested) and unfortunately cannot be accessed on your account.

Gift cards should be treated like cash. Print your gift card out and keep it in a safe place, store the email in a folder where it won't be deleted for easy access or add it to your Apple Wallet if applicable.

Gift cards NEVER expire.

RETURNS PORTAL

RETURNS PORTAL: https://bbxco.returnscenter.com/

You must provide your order number and your email address. Once your return has been approved/received/dropped off in store, you can expect your store credit to be processed and sent to you electronically within 1-3 business days.

Detailed information is available on our returns/exchanges page.

LOCAL PICK UP / SHIPPING

INFORMATION ON SHIPPING, TRANSIT TIMES, DELIVERY, LOCAL PICK UP, LOST PACKAGES AND MORE...

SHIPPING POLICY

Once you've placed your order, you will receive an email confirmation letting you know that our team has received your order with your order number for your reference.

Once your order is fulfilled, you will receive a separate email notification (and optional SMS if you've opted in) with your tracking information.

Please allow 24-72 hours for the tracking information to update. Often times, there is a delay from when the shipping label is generated to when the parcel actually hits the mail stream with our shipping logistics partners.

You will also receive a separate email notification when your order is delivered.

Shipping fees are non-refundable in the case of returns.

FLAT RATE SHIPPING

We offer free shipping over $100.

We offer flat rate shipping (Expedited Parcel) for $10. This is the same service as Canada Post's Expedited Parcel — just a few dollars less on average. You can see the price difference using our shipping estimate on the cart page.

Due to the rising costs of shipping and logistics, we no longer use Fedex or UPS.

TRANSIT TIMES

Transit times are on average 2-4 days within the province, 2-8 days within Canada and can take up to 20 days to the United States.

Outside factors beyond our control may impact transit times and we appreciate your patience.

Once the parcel hits the mail stream and our shipping logistics partner has picked it up, we do not have any further information beyond what the tracking states.

DO YOU SHIP OVERSEAS?

At this time, due to rising shipping costs and ongoing delays, we only ship within Canada and to the U.S.A.

ISSUE WITH SHIPMENT / LOST PARCEL

We monitor all shipment and track status updates as best we can. We ship hundreds of orders weekly and unfortunately, if there is an issue with your shipment (delayed, marked as delivered but you didn't receive it, believe your package to be lost), the responsibility is on you as the consumer to notify us as soon as possible, just like you would with any other company.

We will open the appropriate ticket with the shipping logistics provider (as the sender of the package) and do our best to rectify the situation however we can. In many cases, investigating or receiving a response from shipping carriers can take up to 30 days.

STOLEN PACKAGES

BBxCollection is NOT responsible for stolen packages. If you have issues with mail, we can add a 'Requires Signature' feature so if you are not home at the time of delivery, a slip is left for pickup instead of leaving the parcel on your doorstep.

Theft of mail is an indictable offence under Section 356 of the Criminal Code, carrying a maximum penalty of 10 years in jail.

Canada Post has information on preventing mail theft here. If you suspect that mail has been stolen from your mailbox — it is recommended you notify the police and report it to Canada Post's customer service department.

PAYMENT + SECURITY

OUR MISSION IS TO PROVIDE YOU A SAFE, SECURE SHOPPING ATMOSPHERE.

WEBSITE SECURITY

To help make your shopping experience safe, simple, and secure, we use Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology. This encrypts the data you send over the internet. If SSL is enabled, you will see a padlock at the top of your browser and you can click on this to get information about the SSL digital certificate registration.

You'll also notice that the location (URL) field at the top of the browser will begin with 'https:' instead of the normal 'http:'.

HOW SECURE IS YOUR PAYMENT SYSTEM?

All transactions submitted to BBxCollection are encrypted with 128 SSL software which encrypts information you input to protect it from interception by outside parties.

We are committed to maintaining the highest levels of security and protection against fraud.

We stay up-to-date with the latest in security technologies to ensure that your credit card information, contact information and shipping/billing information are confidential and safe and process all transactions through Shopify.

DO YOU ACCEPT PHONE-IN ORDERS?

For security purposes and credit card verification, we are unable to accept orders by phone.

PAYMENT METHODS

We accept all credit cards through the Shopify platform, as well as Shop Pay and afterpay. In store, we accept all major credit cards, debit cards, cash as well as Apple Pay and Google Pay.

We no longer accept Paypal.

USING AFTERPAY

SUSTAINABILITY

SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

As a small business, we are wholeheartedly invested in our duty to act in the best interests of our environment and society as a whole. In an effort to be as transparent as possible, retail and our particular business of printing and pressing apparel creates a significant amount of waste.

Where possible, we practice the most efficient, cost-reducing, energy-saving and socially-conscious ways of creating, producing and packaging our goods in a way that is less harmful to society and our environment. We are committed to improving and creating efficiencies as we continue to grow.

DO YOU SHIP IN PLASTIC BAGS?

No. We don't use clear poly bags often found in the retail industry. Your order will be pressed and folded and shipped in our compostable mailers by Better Packaging Co. or in one of our recycled cardboard boxes.

In our efforts to making shipping more sustainable and waste-free, we are making plans to eliminate the plastic piece that affixes the hangtag to the garment in 2023.

NO FRILLS PACKAGING

We know that some customers may not want the extras. If that's the case, let us know at checkout and we'll gladly skip them with your order. No hard feelings as this helps us get one step closer to our sustainability goals!
