DELIVERIES
We do not currently deliver products to every region in Canada. You can find out if we ship to your area by signing up and you will be notified once we start shipping to your specified address. You can also pick up your product at our farm store location.
Backed By Bees generally uses third party services for shipping and therefore all products purchased are made pursuant to a shipment contract whereby the title to and the risk of loss of such products passes to you upon delivery of the Product to the third party service. Additionally, following delivery, the condition and consumption of the Products are at your own risk, and you are solely responsible for the proper and safe washing, handling, preparation, storage, cooking, use and consumption of the Products. Backed By Bees shall use reasonable care in its selection of third parties, or in selecting the means, route and procedure to be followed in the handling, transportation, clearance and delivery of items to its customers. However, the company does not assume responsibility or liability for any action(s) or inaction(s) of such third parties and/or its agents, and shall not be liable for any delay or loss of any kind, which occurs while a shipment is in custody or control of a third party.
Shipping times and dates are estimates and actuals may vary due to weather conditions and other external factors. In the case of events beyond our control that may interfere with our ability to deliver your Order, we will attempt to deliver your Order as soon as reasonably possible or we will cancel your meal delivery for that particular period and issue you a credit or refund of the purchase price for that delivery. If we are unable to deliver at your confirmed address at the specified time due to other reasons (of your own), we will attempt to redeliver the package to you the following day and you will be charged a redelivery fee of $20. If the second attempt is unsuccessful, we will charge you the redelivery fee as well as the full charge of the package. The company will always use its best judgment to cooperate with customers which may have experienced delivery inconveniences.
When the third party courier service arrives, they will generally leave the package with you directly at your door, unless you have specified additional delivery instructions when setting up your account (ex: leaving package with neighbor or on front porch). If the package is left with someone other than you, the same terms and conditions would apply to this person. Some of our products include insulated liners and iced gel packs that keep your ingredients cold and fresh for several hours after they are delivered to you. However, we recommend you keep in mind the season and temperatures in your area at the time of delivery and plan deliveries and storage accordingly.
You are responsible for inspecting items upon their delivery for any damage or other issues including but not limited to the freshness of the Products you receive. Some ingredients should arrive in a cool and refrigerated condition, below 4°C (use a thermometer if in doubt). Although unlikely, if you have any reason to believe that a Product in your delivery is not suitable for consumption, please contact us immediately at info@BackedByBees.com.
Upon reception and to reduce risks of food borne illnesses, you should immediately refrigerate all perishable items and follow refrigeration, food safety, safe food handling instructions and food consumption recommendations for at-risk groups (i.e. for pregnant women, young children, elderly and individuals with compromised immune systems) from the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food of Quebec (MAPAQ) (or in Ontario, Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, OMAFRA) & Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) to reduce risks of food borne illnesses. You should use a food thermometer to ensure that all meat, poultry, seafood and other applicable items are cooked at recommended internal temperatures.
