You can place an order in one of two ways:

  1. Online:
    Visit us at ibeadcanada.com to place your order.

  2. In-Store:
    Visit us at our location:
    819 Highway 17 East, Wahnapitae, ON

Please Note:
At this time, we are no longer able to accept orders over the phone due to high volume.

Our staff works quickly to process and ship orders, so there is a limited window to cancel or modify an order.

  • To Modify or Cancel Your Order:
    Please contact our customer service team by phone or email as soon as possible.

  • After Shipment:
    Once your order has shipped, it can no longer be cancelled or modified. For return eligibility and instructions, please review our Refund & Return Policy. Stamped Envelope Shipping does not include tracking.

  • Credit Card Payments:
    Your credit card payment is authorized when you place your order. i-Bead manually captures the payment when processing your order. Your bank may show the authorization as a pending transaction or hold before the payment is captured.

    • In rare cases, if your card fails the CVV verification, the issuing bank may still place a hold for the amount of your order, which may appear in your online banking. This hold can remain for a few days. If this happens, please contact your credit card company to have the hold removed or reversed.
  • PayPal Payments:
    Your PayPal payment is authorized when you place your order and manually captured by i-Bead when processing your order.

  • Interac e-Transfer Payments:
    Your order is processed once we receive your payment.

To ensure you receive exactly what you ordered, our process includes three key steps:

  1. Order Picking: When your order is received, our "Pickers" access it on a computer, scan each item, and verify it matches the items you ordered.

  2. Order Packing: After picking, the order is passed to our "Packers" who perform another verification scan to check that all items are correct before packaging. This step also includes a visual check of the products.

  3. Video Recording: To provide an additional layer of assurance, all orders are video recorded during these processes to ensure accuracy and that the correct items are selected and packaged.

This thorough process is designed to give you confidence that you'll receive the items you ordered.

Shipping

We offer Canada Post and courier shipping options based on your order and destination. Eligible small, lightweight Canadian orders may qualify for Stamped Envelope Shipping, a lower-cost untracked and uninsured Lettermail service. See the Stamped Envelope Shipping question below for restrictions and delivery risks.

Most orders ship within one business day; busy periods may require an extra business day. See our Shipping Policy for available services and processing details.

Shipping options and applicable discounts are calculated at checkout.

Eligible Expedited Parcel orders shipped to a Canadian province receive a $5 shipping discount starting at $25. Shipping discounts for eligible orders shipped to Yukon, the Northwest Territories or Nunavut start at $50.

Free shipping is available on most eligible orders over $150 shipped to a Canadian province or $200 shipped to Yukon, the Northwest Territories or Nunavut.

Wholesale orders are excluded, and oversized items have separate eligibility. Stamped Envelope Shipping is excluded from shipping discounts. See our Shipping Policy for the complete discount tiers, eligibility and exclusions.

Yes. Choose Canada Post for delivery to a P.O. Box. Other couriers require a valid physical street address.

We ship within Canada and to select international destinations. Shipping to the United States is currently suspended. See our Shipping Policy for details.

If your tracked parcel is damaged or appears to be lost, contact our customer service team so we can help with the courier claim process. Report damage to i-Bead within 48 hours of delivery, keep the packaging, and include photographs.

Ground and Express parcel services include tracking. Canada Post Expedited Parcel and Xpresspost shipments within Canada include up to $100 in coverage for loss or damage during transit, subject to Canada Postโ€™s terms and exclusions. Additional coverage is available at $3 for each additional $100 of coverage above the initial $100.

Stamped Envelope Shipping is different: It includes no tracking, delivery confirmation, or carrier insurance. An insured shipping claim is not available for this service. If a stamped envelope has not arrived, contact us to review your order details, but we cannot trace it through Canada Post once mailed.

See our Shipping Policy for details.

Stamped Envelope Shipping cannot be tracked. This Canada Post Lettermail service has no tracking number or delivery confirmation.

For orders sent with a tracked parcel service, you can check your shipment in these ways:

  1. Shipping Confirmation Email: When your tracked order ships, you will receive an email with the tracking number. Use the tracking link to visit the shipping providerโ€™s website.

  2. Your Customer Account: Sign in at ibeadcanada.com, open your order history, and select the available tracking link for your order.

  3. Shop App: The Shop app may display tracking information for orders shipped with a supported tracked service. It cannot track stamped envelopes.

Please note: Tracking information for parcel services may take 24โ€“48 hours to appear on the carrierโ€™s website.

Stamped Envelope Shipping is a lower-cost Canada Post Lettermail option for qualifying small, lightweight orders shipped within Canada. It is not a tracked parcel service.

Your entire order must meet all of these restrictions:

  • Maximum 10 individual items in total. Multiple quantities of the same product each count as an item.
  • Maximum order value of $24.99 CAD.
  • Eligible products only. A product marked as eligible does not mean an entire order automatically qualifies.
  • Canada Post size and weight limits: no larger than 380 ร— 270 ร— 20 mm and no heavier than 500 g. Other eligibility rules still apply.
  • Canadian delivery addresses only.

Important โ€” no tracking or insurance: This option provides no tracking number, delivery confirmation, or carrier insurance for loss or damage. After the envelope is mailed, we cannot track its location, confirm delivery, or initiate an insured carrier claim.

Delivery is not guaranteed within a specific timeframe. Lettermail may be slower than an expedited parcel, and in some circumstances can take several weeks.

Choosing Stamped Envelope Shipping means accepting these service limitations and the risks of delay, loss, or damage. If tracking, delivery confirmation, or carrier insurance matters to you, choose an eligible tracked parcel shipping option instead.

Stamped Envelope Shipping will appear at checkout only if your order qualifies. For full details, read our Shipping Policy.
