2. Shipping Method

We work with our shipping providers to ensure that customers receive their shipments as quickly as possible.

  • Within Canada we ship orders via Loomis Express ground courier or Canada Post. Loomis Express is our preferred delivery service in most urban centres, with Canada Post preferred for some smaller cities, rural areas and PO boxes.
  • Within USA we ship orders via DHL Express, FedEx or US Post. FedEx is the default delivery service for contiguous states, while Alaska, Hawaii and rural addresses and PO boxes are shipped via US Post.
  • Note that Loomis Express, FedEx and DHL Express require a buzzer number for delivery to any secured buildings (e.g., apartments, condos) as well as someone to sign for the package.
  • Shipments sent via Canada Post or US Post may be subject to transit delays, especially in rural or remote areas.

Shipping Requests:
If you would like to make a special shipping request, you may note this in the Shipping Address or Gift Message field when you place your order, for example:

  • Indicate (POST ONLY) at the end of your address if you would like to receive your order via Canada or US Post
  • Add NO SIG REQ at the end of your address if you wish the package to be delivered without signing for the shipment (NOTE: by stating “NO SIG REQ” you accept the risk and responsibility for the parcel once the courier reports the package as delivered).

Shipping rates outside of Canada / USA vary by address and the type/amount of products ordered. To obtain a quote, please email order@murchies.com with your full name, mailing address, phone number, and a list and quantities of items that you wish to order.

3. Payment Options

  • We accept Visa, MasterCard and American Express for all phone and web orders. Note that your billing address must match the information on your credit card statement, or payment will not be processed and your order will not be completed.
  • We use Bambora, an international payments company whose North American office is located in Victoria, British Columbia, to process our online transactions to ensure that we provide a safe shopping environment for our customers.
  • You may see an additional 50 cent charge on your credit card after you complete your purchase. This charge is a temporary pre-authorization charge by Bambora that will disappear once your payment is confirmed.
  • If you do not wish to place your order online, you may call our Customer Service line on Monday to Friday, from 8:00 am – 4:00 pm Pacific Time and place your order over the phone.

Your online purchases will appear as Murchie's Tea & Coffee on your credit card statement.
