Products

What does it mean when a product has an ETA (estimated time of arrival)?

Due to ongoing industry-wide supply challenges, unfortunately some products are out of stock.

When products are out of stock, we work with our suppliers and try to provide an ETA. (Estimated Time of Arrival). In some cases the date may not have been establish and the product may be listed as TBA/TBD (To Be Announced/To Be Determined).

Our customer service team has access to the same ETA/TBD/TBA information that is provided on the website. We will work with our partners to provide updates and replenish supply as quickly as possible.

• ETA- Estimated time of arrival
• TBD/TBA - To be determined/To be announced. This means we do not have an estimated arrival date.

What does FDA approved mean?

FDA stands for the Food and Drug Administration. That means that these items have been deemed food safe for direct contact with food by the United States government. 

Why are certain items pickup only?

Certain items such as glassware and tin are pick up only. These items are fragile and are pick up only to ensure their integrity. They can be ordered online and be picked up at our Toronto location - 1100 Lodestar Rd Toronto, Ontario M3J 2Z4.

If I call in will you put items on hold for me?

No, unfortunately we cannot put items on hold.

What if I would like to custom print a small quantity of paper bags or boxes?

For small quantity printing please read this information sheet.

How do special order items work?

All special order items have a lead time specified on the page when you placed your order. All orders containing stock and special order items will be shipped complete once special order items are ready or should you wish to ship all stock items before special order items are available, there will be a second delivery charge. Special order items are non refundable.
