ORDER STATUS

Why has my order not shipped?
When looking up your order on line, there are different statuses that you will see. Here is a brief explanation of each status:

What does In Distribution Centre mean?
In Distribution Centre – This status indicates that your order information has dropped into the Distribution Centre where they are in the process of picking your order from the shelves, packaging it up in the appropriate way and shipping it off to you. When an order shows “In Distribution Centre,” it is at a stage where it cannot be cancelled.

What does Waiting Verification mean?
Waiting Verification – This indicates that your order is going through our Credit Card verification process. This is done for Credit Card protection. Once your Credit card information is verified, your order can then go to “In Distribution Centre” status so that the Distribution Centre can begin processing your order.

What does Backordered mean?
Backordered – This indicates that your order is unable to ship due to the fact that inventory has not yet been received in our Distribution Centre. Please contact the Customer Care Centre at 1-866-600-9246 for an explanation as to why your order is in Backorder status.

What does Declined mean?
Declined - This indicates that your credit card has declined. Someone from our accounting department will attempt to contact you to obtain another credit card number prior to canceling your order.

What does Authorizing CC mean?
Authorizing CC - This indicates that your order was placed that day and it is waiting for our day-end processing to occur to authorize your credit card. When your order is in this status, you may call our Customer Care Centre to modify your order (i.e. add or delete products, cancel your order, change shipping method or method of payment, etc.)

What does Returned mean?
Returned  This can mean one of three things. It can mean that an item has been received by our Distribution Centre and refunded. It can also mean that a credit has been issued on your account. Lastly, it can mean that an exchange has been sent out for you. If you are unsure why your order would say Returned, please contact our Customer Care Centre at 1-866-600-9246. If you would like more information on returns and refunds, please click here.

What does Shipped mean?
Shipped - This indicates that your order has left our Distribution Centre and is now in the hands of either Canada Post or Courier. The estimated shipping time frames are as follows:

· Canada Post: Allow 4 to 6 weeks.
· Courier: Allow 6 to 10 business days.

Please note that we cannot guarantee delivery dates as our estimates are dependent on our carriers’ delivery service.

E-MAIL CONFIRMATIONS

What happens after I place my order?
Why did I get two e-mails after I placed my order?
After you place your order, you will receive an e-mail order confirmation which will include your order number. Please note that your e-mail address must be on file with us. We encourage you to save or print your e-mail order confirmation for your records. Another order confirmation e-mail will be sent once the item is shipped from our Distribution Centre.

The original e-mail indicates that we have received your order and we will soon start processing it. It does not indicate that your order has been shipped. You will receive a second e-mail to notify you when your package will be shipped as well as the approximate shipping time frames.

RETURNS

What do I do if I am not happy with my product?
If, for any reason, you are not satisfied with your purchase you can return it to us within 30 days for a full refund less shipping & handling. We ask only that you return the product in the same condition and with the same packaging in which you received it. Health and beauty products are subject to reasonable trial.

Simply complete the back of your order summary and return the item to MixDirect using the labels provided at the bottom left of your order summary. You are responsible for any costs incurred to return an item to us.

For your protection, when returning your purchase, please use an insurable method of delivery. It takes an average of seven business days from the day we receive the returned item to credit your account. You will receive an e-mail once the item has been credited by our Distribution Centre. Please note that your e-mail address must be on file with us.

REFUNDS

Why have I not been refunded yet?
To determine whether your package has been received at our Distribution Centre or not, use the Waybill number for packages returned by Courier or the Proof of Delivery number for packages returned by Canada Post to track your package. Click on the appropriate link below and insert the number provided by your courier. Please note: The Waybill number or Proof of Delivery number is only provided for packages that are insured.

How much is my refund?
If you are unsure how much your refund amount should be or if there is an error in the refund amount, please contact our Customer Care Centre at 1-866-600-9246 and a Representative will be happy to help you out.

WEB ISSUES

There is a price discrepancy on the web. What should I do?
