SHIPPING
Beer Grains ships all orders via Canada Post. The customer is responsible for all fees associated with shipping. You may select the method and speed of delivery during the checkout procedure. Shipping rates and estimated delivery time are calculated automatically by Canada Post during checkout. On average packages deliver in roughly half the amount of time that is estimated. Customers are billed the exact amount quoted by Canada Post at checkout. In certain rare circumstances shipping charges may be much higher or lower than that which is quoted. In those circumstances you will be contacted and informed of a refund or balance owing for freight. If you would like an estimate for your exact location and order items please feel free to contact us.

Geographic Area
Canada: We ship to every province and territory in Canada. We collect all applicable Canadian federal and provincial taxes as required for the jurisdiction where the goods are being shipped.

USA: We ship to the Continental US, Alaska, and Hawaii. The customer is responsible for all shipping, duties, customs, state, and federal taxes.

International: With the exception of the USA, at this time we do not ship internationally.

*Note: It is not advisable to ship perishable ingredients to remote locations such as Hawaii, Alaska, Northwest Territories, Nunavut, Yukon, Labrador, fly in communities, or anyplace that looks like the set from the movie The Thing. Perishables cannot be guaranteed when shipping to such locations.

Perishables
Certain ingredients, such as liquid yeast, are perishable and risk permanent damage if not packed and shipped correctly. Ice packs and insulated packaging are now available as an add on option. There should normally be no issues while in transit for up to 3 days, however the yeast will perform better if kept cool. If shipping duration or heat is a concern an ice pack, insulated packaging, and/or Xpresspost shipping service is recommended. Beer Grains guarantees liquid yeast viability for up to 3 months after purchase with or without the use of an ice pack. Either way, we’ve got you covered! All perishables are shipped via Canada Post Expedited service by default. Delivery service cannot be guaranteed to all locations. Please contact us for specific details on your location. If actual shipping charges are significantly higher or lower than that which is quoted during checkout you will be contacted and informed of a refund or balance owing for freight.

RETURNS
While we hope you never need to return anything, if it happens we’re there for you. You may return anything within 30 days of delivery for any reason. If the return is the result of our error we will pay the shipping. All returns require prior authorization before they will be accepted for return. Please contact us as soon as you notice an issue. We will provide you with a return shipping label and a return authorization number. Items must be unused and in their original packaging. If we deem the item does not need to be returned prior to receiving the returned item we will ship out the replacement immediately.

Ingredients
Most ingredients need to be opened and/or used before you know there is an issue. Ingredients that come with a manufacturers expiry date are guaranteed fresh to the expiry date. Ingredients without a manufacturers expiry date arrive with a fresh before date printed on the label. Please note this is a guide only, your ingredients may last much longer. We guarantee all ingredients to be fresh for 3 months from the date of purchase. If you find your malt, hops, yeast, or other ingredients are not fresh as guaranteed contact us as soon as possible for a replacement or full refund.

Sale Items
Some sale items may not be returned beyond 30 days from the date of delivery. Items that are non-returnable or non-refundable are clearly marked in the item description. If the item is within the guaranteed freshness period to the expiry date (ex. liquid yeast that is less than 1 month from the expiry date) the item will clearly indicate such in the product description when the expiry date is.
