Return Policy

At rootscanadastore.com, we aim for full customer satisfaction. Please read the rules below before submitting any return or exchange request.

Important: You must contact us to obtain the valid return address and RMA number before sending items back. Returns without prior approval will not be processed.

  1. All returned goods must be in original condition: unworn, unwashed, unaltered, undamaged and with all original tags, labels and packaging intact. Used, stained, washed or missing-tag items are not eligible for return or exchange.
  2. You may apply for a replacement within 30 days from the order ship date for the two scenarios below:
    • We shipped the wrong item (rare occurrence)
    • Item arrived damaged in transit After your Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) is approved, we will arrange a replacement and send a prepaid return envelope for the wrong or damaged goods. You may also choose to combine the replacement with your next new order to save extra shipping cost.
  3. For large bulk orders, we reserve the right to request photos or sample returns of defective/wrong items. Specific requirements will be stated together with your RMA instruction.
  4. If you return correctly shipped items due to change of mind, a 15% restocking fee will be deducted from your refund. Original shipping and handling fees are non-refundable.
  5. For change-of-mind returns or exchanges, you are responsible for all return shipping charges and outbound shipping fees for the new item. We highly suggest you select a trackable shipping service with insurance to avoid loss during transit.
  6. Only send returned packages to the official return address we send you by email. Do not ship returns to the original shipping warehouse address.

Exchange Policy

  1. Color exchanges are available within 30 days from the original dispatch date. Please send us your Order ID to start the exchange process, and our support team will guide you.
  2. If you want to exchange for a different style, you will need to return the current item for a refund following our return policy, then place a brand-new order for the style you prefer.
  3. All exchange items must be unused, unmodified and keep all original tags attached. Contact us for approval before sending anything back.
  4. You cover the return postage and the shipping & handling cost for the exchanged item sent back to you. Shipping fees are non-refundable. Tracking and insurance are recommended for your protection.

Refund Policy

  1. Unopened and unused merchandise can be returned for a refund within 30 days after the order ships.
  2. If you find the item is wrong or damaged after opening the package, we will arrange a replacement instead of a refund; please refer to the replacement section in the return policy.
  3. Approved refunds will only cover the product purchase price. Shipping, handling and delivery fees are excluded and will not be refunded.
  4. Refunds will be processed within 3–5 business days after we receive and inspect your returned parcel. The refund will go back to your original payment method. The arrival time of funds depends on your bank or payment provider.
