Customer Care

Bright Bean ships to Canadian provinces and territories only at this time. Shipping is FREE for orders over $35 (excluding furniture, oversized and bulk orders) to almost any location in Canada excluding remote territories and provinces.

For order values under $35, please use the following for freight costs:

• Standard (add 2 to 5 Business Days) - $6.95
• Priority (add 1 to 2 Business Days) - $13.99
• Rush (next Business Day) - $24.99

*Shipments to remote locations will be charged a different fee and can be reviewed during the checkout process. 

Shipping Times

Shipping times are based on the date the package leaves our location, not from when you make the order. We do our best to process orders quickly, but during peak seasons your order may take one to two business days to be packaged and shipped from our fulfillment centre.  Days are measured in business days, not including weekends or holidays.

Expedited shipping takes approximately 2-10 days and ExpressPost shipping usually takes less than a week depending on your location

Remote Areas

Remote locations are locations that Canada Post calls Air Stage Locations, places where mail must be airlifted for more than six (6) months of the year. Click here to view all postal codes and communities that are classified as Air stage locations.

There may also be additional shipping charges on orders depending on the size and bulk of the order. We will be sure to contact customers before any such charge is added, and we only do this very rarely.

Bright Bean is currently unable to accept returns from remote locations. If you have a problem with your order, please email hello@brightbeantoys.com or call 1-866-369-4022 to speak with a customer care representative.

Customers in remote locations can call 1-866-369-4022 and speak to a special customer care associate to learn more about our policies. Bright Bean Toys is trying very hard to offer the best service possible for our customers in remote areas.

Porch Piracy

Bright Bean is committed to ensuring every customer receives their order. We understand that package theft (Porch Piracy) is a frustrating reality. This policy applies to packages that carrier tracking confirms as "Delivered" (often with photo proof), but which the customer maintains were never physically received (Defined as Delivered but Missing, or DBM). Please note that Bright Bean retains liability until the item is successfully received by the customer, or until delivery is completed according to the customer's explicitly chosen secure method (Signature Required or Secure Pickup).

Customer Reporting Requirements:

1. Time Limit: The customer must report a DBM package within 7 calendar days of the carrier-confirmed delivery date. Claims reported outside this window may be denied.
2. Preliminary Steps: Before filing a claim, the customer must confirm they have performed a comprehensive search, including checking with neighbors, household members, and any designated safe drop locations.
3. Wait Period: Bright Bean requires a 48-hour waiting period from the time the DBM claim is filed to allow for potential mis-scans or delayed carrier returns.

Bright Bean Investigation and Compensation:

Upon receiving a DBM claim, Bright Bean will immediately initiate an internal investigation, using the carrier’s photo proof and geo-data to verify the attempted delivery location. We will file a claim with our third-party shipping insurance provider. Once the internal investigation confirms the package is likely stolen, Bright Bean guarantees that we will issue a full refund or send a replacement item, at the customer's discretion, following the timelines outlined in our internal matrix.

Deterrence and High-Value Claims:

For high-value orders (total value exceeding $150 CAD) or for any address that has previously filed an unverified DBM claim, Bright Bean requires the customer to provide a formal police report case number prior to compensation being finalized. This step is necessary for fraud deterrence and insurance documentation. Failure to provide a police report case number in these specified high-risk scenarios may result in the denial of the claim.

How do you select your educational products?

We’ve identified 12 key learning goals that together cover the entire range of childhood development and education. We choose toys that help kids develop physically, cognitively, socially, and emotionally. We are also careful to select only the best quality, most fun, and most attractive toys (kids care about good design too!).
