6. Damaged or Lost Packages

Damaged Items

If your order arrives damaged, please take the following steps within 48 hours of delivery:

  1. Photograph the damaged item and the outer packaging clearly.
  2. Email aobeirne@madhatters.com with your order number and photos attached.

We will assess the damage and offer a replacement or refund — whichever best resolves your situation. Do not discard the packaging or product before contacting us, as it may be required for a carrier claim.

Lost Packages

A package is considered lost if it has not moved in the carrier's tracking system for more than:

  • 7 business days — for Canadian shipments
  • 10 business days — for U.S. shipments

If your package appears lost, contact us at aobeirne@madhatters.com with your order number. We will open a carrier investigation on your behalf. If the package is confirmed lost, we will ship a replacement or issue a full refund.

Incorrect Address

Please double-check your shipping address at checkout. Madhatters is not responsible for orders delivered to an incorrectly provided address. If you catch an error, contact us immediately at aobeirne@madhatters.com — we can update the address if your order hasn't shipped yet.


7. Duties, Taxes & Customs

Canadian Orders: Applicable GST/HST/PST will be calculated and displayed at checkout. No surprise fees at the door.

U.S. Orders: Madhatters ships from Canada. U.S. orders may be subject to customs duties and import taxes collected by U.S. Customs and Border Protection. These charges are the responsibility of the customer and are not included in your order or shipping total.
