FAQs

HOW CAN WE ASSIST?

(🏒 pun intended)

GIFTING

Can I send your products as a gift?

Of course!  We ship worldwide and our packing slip doesn’t come with the price(s) on it.

Do you offer gift receipts?

All orders come with a packing slip with no prices listed. Gift recipients can use the original, scan, or photograph of this packing slip to begin the process of requesting a return for store credit or exchange of equal value.

Please note that one (1) packing slip is included in each shipment. If you would like additional copies or a gift receipt for specific items (in the case of a shipment including multiple presents for multiple people), let us know at hello@hockeylove.net and we’ll happily help!

Can I return or exchange a Hockey Love gift I received?

Yes!  If you have received merchandise as a gift, you are eligible for store credit or an exchange of equal value within 30 days of the ship date.

PLEASE NOTE that you will be responsible for the cost of postage for your return/exchange.

Can I return a Hockey Love gift card?

Gift cards are final sale and cannot be returned or exchanged unless required by law. Gift cards do not contain an expiration date and can be used at any time online at www.hockeylove.net

SHIPPING

Where do you ship to?

We ship worldwide!

Please note that some destination countries may be subject to additional duties and taxes and they are the responsibility of the customer. We are not able to calculate these additional costs as it varies for each shipment and country.

Each product page has a list with the estimated delivery time for various regions around the world specific to that product, as well as, details about where that product ships from depending on your region of residence. This information can be used to help you determine the likelihood that customs, duty, tax, or handling fees may incur.

Where do you ship from?

We ship from both Ontario, Canada and with on-demand order fulfillment companies with facilities worldwide!

On-demand production allows us to provide the ultimate flexibility of choice for you in artwork, colour, product, and size options, while helping to reduce the impact to the planet caused by over-manufacturing.

Are there any customs or duties on your products?

An additional customs, duty, and tax fee can occur on international orders. This fee is not in our control and is assessed by your local customs office. Customs policies vary widely for every country so please check with your local customs office directly to see if they apply duties and taxes to your purchases from abroad.

Whenever possible, our made-to-order products are shipped from the warehouse that is closest to you. Warehouses are located in Canada, USA, Mexico, UK, Spain, and Latvia. Please note that not every product is available to ship from every warehouse.

Each product page includes details about where that specific product ships from depending on your region of residence. This information can be used to help you determine the likelihood that customs, duty, tax, or handling fees may incur.

Hockey Love is not responsible for any customs or duties on international orders levied by your country on imported goods.

The prices on hockeylove.net do not include or reflect customs and duties.

We are unable to provide estimates on customs or duties charges as they vary for each country.

How do I track my order?

You will receive a tracking link via email when your order ships out.
If you have any questions about your tracking or shipment, shoot us an email at hello@hockeylove.net
The most up-to-date information on the current location of your shipment will be available through the tracking link.

When will I get my order?

The shipping time depends on your location and the location(s) where the product(s) you have ordered are fulfilled. Each product page has a list of delivery estimates for regions around the world specific to that product.

Our products are made-to-order specially for you, please allow 2 to 5 business days for production in addition to shipping time.

Why was my order partially shipped?

Your order of multiple items may be shipped separately as we fulfill orders from multiple locations. You will receive a shipping confirmation and tracking number for each shipment.

Can I change my shipping address?

If you need to make an address change, please contact us at hello@hockeylove.net as soon as possible. As each product is made-to-order we have a bit of breathing room to make adjustments to the order details — we will try our best to change the shipping address but we cannot make any guarantees. Once the production of the product is nearing completion and a label has been generated, we cannot change the shipping address.

Please double-check the shipping address, including any unit/apartment numbers, before completing the order.

My order is taking forever to arrive, I think it might be lost, can you help?

All orders come with carrier tracking numbers. If a package is deemed delivered and you have not received it, please email us at hello@hockeylove.net. We will open an investigation with the post / shipping carrier and follow up.

Please note that we are not responsible for any lost or missing packages, but we will happily launch an investigation with the respective shipping carrier on your behalf.

Before getting in touch with us, please check your shipping confirmation email for any mistakes in the delivery address. If the shipping information is correct, check in with your local post office to see if they have your package, especially if you sent your order to a PO Box, and stop by your neighbours in case the courier left the package with them accidentally.

During peak holiday seasons and the depths of unpredictable winter weather, delivery of packages can be subject to a delay outside of our control. The most up-to-date information will be available with your tracking number. We are not
responsible for delays that are beyond our control once the package has left one of the warehouses.

We do not offer refunds for delayed packages. Please note the estimated shipping times in each product description and add a few extra business days just in case for packages you would like to receive in time for an event or celebration. Please note that we do not offer refunds for packages deemed delivered via tracking. For lost packages we will offer a replacement package after the carrier investigation is complete and the investigation confirms your package is deemed missing. Please note that these investigations when opened can take up to 14 business days to be rectified.

My order arrived damaged, can you help?

If you’ve received an item in a damaged state caused by a manufacturer defect or a gongshow of a delivery, please contact us at hello@hockeylove.net within 5 days of receiving the package and we can help!

For manufacturer defect : Please be sure to include your order number and images of the defect and a description so we can follow up with our suppliers and pursue a solution for you. Please note that washing any clothing items will void the return policy and the damage policy and we can no longer accept the return.

For poor delivery : Please be sure to include your order number and images of the packaging and signs of mishandling or rough treatment during transit. Note any visible damage or signs of improper handling. We will notify the post/shipping carrier and seek a resolution for you.

RETURNS + EXCHANGES

What is your return and exchange policy?

We know buying online can be as arduous as skating without your laces tightened and tied - so we’ve made our return and exchange process as easy as possible.

We gladly offer returns or exchanges on eligible products within 30 days of the ship date. If the item(s) were shipped outside of your continent of residence, this window is extended to 45 days to allow grace for any shipping delays from abroad.
After 30 / 45 days, we will no longer accept returns or exchanges of any kind.

Items that are eligible for return or exchange must be free of any damage. Clothing items must not be worn or washed. Washing clothing items will void the return + exchange policy and we will no longer be able to accept the clothing item(s) as part of a return or exchange.

Sale items can be returned for store credit. No refunds to the original form of payment will be made for sale items.
All products marked as final sale are not eligible for return or exchange.

While we will gladly refund you for your returned item(s) including the portion of the shipping cost of that item(s) — PLEASE NOTE that there is a $5 administration fee for returned item(s) totalling less than $50, a $10 administration fee for returned item(s) totalling between $50-$100, and a $15 administration fee for returned item(s) totalling over $100, that will be deducted from your overall refund. We apologize for this inconvenience, it reflects what we ourselves are charged for processing the return.

PLEASE NOTE that you will be responsible for the cost of postage for your return/ exchange. As stated above, the original shipping cost applied to the portion of your order that you would like to return/exchange will be part of your refund, and as such, will help offset the return shipping cost.

How do I complete a return?

RETURN INSTRUCTIONS

1. Shoot us an email at hello@hockeylove.net and include your order number and the name and email address associated with the order, and also which item(s) you’re looking to return and why.

2 . We will email you back with apologies (the stereotype is true that us Canadians are apt to say sorry, like, a lot 🙂) and a return address for the warehouse closest to you to help reduce your return shipping costs.

3. Place your item(s) you would like to return in a secure bag, box, or envelope (depending on the item) along with the packing slip. Please pack with care, like you’re mailing a Wayne Gretzky rookie card. Hockey Love reserves the right to refuse any item(s) returned for refund or exchange that upon receipt are not in a re-sellable state.

4. Drop off your return package to your nearest post office or shipping provider and send it on it’s way back to us.

Once we have received confirmation from the warehouse that your return was successfully received we will process your return payment within 24 business hours.

Refunds can only be processed back to the original payment method.

How do I complete an exchange?

EXCHANGE INSTRUCTIONS

Same as the return instructions above, except let us know that your return is part of an exchange and what item(s) you would like to exchange for.

While your return is under way, please place a new order for the item(s) you would like as part of your exchange. If you would like to wait until you have received your refund before placing a new order, not a problem, let us know! We will be sure to keep you updated on the progress of the returned item being successfully received on our end and when we are about to process your return.

Is there a grace period for the holidays?

Yes!  For purchases between November 1st 2024 to December 24th 2024

For the holiday rush and gift-giving season, you have until January 15th 2025 to return or exchange items purchased during this period (January 30th 2025 if the item(s) were shipped outside of your continent of residence).

After Jan 15th / Jan 30th, we won’t be able to offer returns or exchanges of any kind.

How are your products made?

All of our ideas, designs, and illustrations are thought up and created by us!  All artwork is made by hand with good ol’ pencil, paper, and digital paint (no AI here!) and © Hockey Love

We work with a print-on-demand supplier to place our artwork on the various products you see throughout our online shop.
They have locations worldwide, so depending on where you are, your orders are printed and shipped from the facility that can do it most efficiently and closest to
your location!

On-demand production allows us to provide the ultimate flexibility of choice for you in artwork, colour, product, and size options, while helping to reduce the impact to the planet caused by over-manufacturing.

I’m not sure what size to order, can you help?

Shoot an email to hello@hockeylove.net, we would love to help!

Let us know what product(s) you’re thinking of, the size(s) you’re considering, and if you’re buying for a growing child (especially if they border between big kid sizes and small adult sizes on the size charts). We will provide any extra details we have about the item(s) including fit, stretch, any shrinkage in the wash, what other customers are saying and what our experience has been.
