Canadian Shipping & Returns:
Canada Post UpdateOrders placed in Canada will NOT be affected by the Canada Post strike unless shipping to a PO Box or Remote locations. If you do require delivery to a P.O. Box, please anticipate delays due to the Canada Post strike. All other deliveries will be made with alternative Freight companies.
If you live in an area only serviced by Canada Post, follow the steps below to ensure minimal disruptions to your deliveries:
- To ensure successful delivery, switch from a PO Box to a CIVIC address (home, business, or friend/family's address)
- Double-check your shipping address in checkout, to ensure you've updated properly.
Please Note:
- Orders not going to P.O. boxes, Airstage locations, or remote areas will not be affected as Bright bean will use different carriers.
- Some remote area orders may need pickup at the closest Carrier location.
- Expect delays for orders already in the Canada Post network, with no guaranteed delivery timing from Bright Bean.
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 chart for freight costs:
In Canada* | Expedited | Express | Priority |
---|---|---|---|
Orders under $35 | $6.95 + HST | $9.95 + HST | $14.95 + HST |
Orders over $35 | FREE | $9.95 + HST | $14.95 + HST |
*Shipments to remote locations will be charged a different fee and can be reviewed during the checkout process.

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.
