Shipping policy

At Alba Distribution we aim to ship orders quickly and transparently. Please read the following information carefully before placing an order.

Shipping Locations

We ship from Canada to customers worldwide. Shipping rates and delivery times vary depending on the destination and shipping method selected at checkout.

Duties, Tariffs, and Import Taxes

International orders may be subject to import duties, tariffs, taxes, and customs processing fees imposed by the destination country.

These charges:

  • Are not included in the purchase price or shipping cost shown at checkout

  • Are determined by the destination country’s customs authorities

  • Are the sole responsibility of the recipient

The recipient must pay any applicable duties, tariffs, taxes, or customs fees required to release the shipment.

Alba Distribution has no control over these charges and cannot predict their amount.

Refused or Rejected Shipments

If a shipment is refused, rejected, or abandoned by the recipient for any reason (including refusal to pay duties, tariffs, taxes, or customs fees):

  • The customer is responsible for all shipping charges, return shipping costs, duties, tariffs, brokerage fees, and any other charges incurred

  • These costs will be deducted from any refund issued

If the cost of return shipping, duties, tariffs, or other charges exceeds the order value, no refund will be issued.

Failed Delivery

If a shipment cannot be delivered due to an incorrect address or failure to collect the parcel from the carrier, the customer will be responsible for any additional shipping or return costs.

Shipping Delays

Delivery timelines are estimates only. Alba Distribution is not responsible for delays caused by:

  • Customs clearance processes

  • Carrier delays

  • Weather or other circumstances beyond our control
