1. SHIPPING INFORMATION
*Please note all shipping fees incurred when sending the order out are non-refundable and all returns are done at the customer's expense. Refused shipments and shipments not picked up at shipping depots are considered returns and are subject to return shipping charges.
At Quark Baby, we have carefully selected the fastest, most reliable shipping method for all of the products on our site. Your order may ship with UPS, FedEx, Purolator or Canada Post. Deliveries are made Monday to Friday, and typically our shipping partners do not deliver on the weekends. If you require a Saturday delivery, please contact our Customer Care team to discuss availability and costs.
All in-stock items are shipped within 4-6 business days (Monday - Friday), due to higher than normal order volumes during sales shipping times may increase, and you will be notified of any delay. Currently, orders are only shipped within Canada or the US. If there is an issue with delivery times or availability, a Quark Baby customer care associate will contact you by phone or via email within 72 hours to discuss the shipping and delivery options. You will be emailed a tracking notification email once your order has shipped.
Please note that not all orders are shipped together. We strive to fill each online order in a timely manner and in order to do so some orders are shipped from multiple locations.
If there are any discrepancies with shipping amounts (or over-sized items that require shipping charges to be calculated after the order has been placed) a customer service representative will contact you via phone or email to discuss price changes or shipping options. If no shipping amount at all shows on your oversized item (such as furniture, mattresses, bean bag chairs, or a stroller/ car seat combo) a customer service representative will contact you via phone or email with the appropriate shipping amount.
Our shipping partners will attempt to deliver orders twice. A delivery notification will be left at your door if our shipping partners are unsuccessful in their attempts, packages are held at their depots for 3-7 business days and then shipped back to our Quark Baby warehouse.
In order to arrange a re-delivery, delivery charges will need to be paid again by the purchaser. Please note that all deliveries are shipped with "signature required". If you remove the signature with a service such as UPS MyChoice, you are waiving all liability from Quark Baby and/or the shipping partner should your package be lost or stolen.
All claims for damages/defects must be submitted in writing to hello@quarkbaby.com within 48 hours of receiving the goods. Any order discrepancies need to be reported to hello@quarkbaby.com within 72 hours of receiving the goods.

Shipping charges are based on our shipping partner's locations. If your location is outside of their shipping areas there may be additional shipping charges that were not calculated with your initial order. This applies to orders that have received Free Shipping as well as those below the free shipping threshold. We will do our best to find a shipping rate that will work within the parameters of what was estimated but some items (oversized items shipping to rural areas, shipping to northern parts of the province, etc) are unable to be calculated by the system and need to be manually calculated by a staff member. We apologize for any inconvenience that this may cause and we will contact you as quickly as possible with shipping options.
