  There are currently 3 options for delivery:

  • Same-Day Delivery (by Domain Express) – $8 ($7.08 + HST)
  • Express Delivery (by Domain Express) – No Charge
  • Pick-Up at Canada Post Office (due to COVID-19) – No Charge

  We have waived standard delivery fees (excluding Same-Day) during the pandemic to make this service as accessible as possible. For the Same-Day and Express Delivery options, the delivery window is 4 pm to 11 pm.

  Please note: Due to COVID-19 precautions, Canada Post has temporarily changed its delivery method and may take longer than usual to deliver. They will not be delivering parcels that require a signature or proof-of-age to the customer’s door. Instead, Canada Post will leave a notice card directing customers to a nearby post office where they can pick up their items by showing proof of identity.

  Same-Day and Express Delivery orders placed with a PO Box shipping address will be sent back to the OCS warehouse. Once we receive your package and process the return, a refund will be credited via the original method of payment.

• How will my order be delivered? Open Close

  Our delivery options have changed as we react to COVID-19. For the latest information on delivery and shipping methods, timing and fees, please click here. 

• Can I place an order if I’m currently outside of Ontario? (US/International orders) Open Close

  Yes. International customers are able to place orders on OCS.ca, provided the order is delivered to an address within Ontario.

  The OCS will only deliver products to addresses in Ontario.

• How do I contact the Licensed Producer of my product? Open Close

  Should you ever need to reach them, the Licensed Producer of every product must provide their name and contact details on the product label, including an email address and phone number. Each product also includes a lot number which refers to a specific harvest, or “lot” of products, which helps trace it back to quality control processes. Take note of the lot number if making a product inquiry.

• Can the OCS shipping and packaging boxes be recycled? Open Close

  We make sure that whenever possible, we choose shipping materials that can be re-used or recycled. OCS branded carboard boxes, packing paper and packing slips are all fully recyclable. For more information on recycling cannabis packaging, click here.

• Can I recycle my cannabis packaging? Open Close

  Depending on where you live, most cannabis packaging can be recycled in your curbside recycling program or at your local recycling depot. There are also programs that specialize in non-recyclable waste (such as Terracycle) that accept cannabis packaging from Licensed Producers. To find out more on how you can recycle your cannabis packaging, click here.

• Why does legal cannabis seem to be packaged so excessively? Open Close

  To protect against accidental consumption, ensure products are not appealing to children or youth, and to provide the consumer with the necessary information to make informed decisions, Licensed Producers must adhere to stringent packaging and labelling requirements enforced by the Federal Cannabis Act and Health Canada. Unfortunately, these stringent requirements result in the mandatory inclusion of bulky and excess packaging, regardless of the quantity of the product ordered. The good news is that most cannabis packaging can be recycled, depending on where you live. To learn more about cannabis packaging and how to recycle it, click here.

• Can I purchase a product online and return it to an Authorized Cannabis Store? Open Close

  Unfortunately, no. The OCS offers a 14-day return policy on all orders of cannabis products from OCS.ca in original condition within 14 days of delivery. Licensed Retailers have the ability to create their return policies at their own discretion.

• Can I change or cancel my order after I’ve placed it? Open Close

  Orders cannot be cancelled.

  Because our team assembles your order very soon after you place it, if you notice an error right after receiving your order confirmation, you should immediately call our customer service line at 1-888-910-0627 to see if the order can be changed.

• What should I do if I have a complaint about the quality of product I purchased on OCS.ca? Open Close

  We work with licensed producers to investigate all quality assurance complaints. To report a product quality complaint, we welcome you to contact our customer service team by phone at 1-888-910-0627 or by LiveChat.

• Will all my items arrive together? Open Close

  Generally, all items will be sent together in one package. There may be exceptions based on the size and availability of the product(s).  

• Can I return products for a refund? Open Close
