GIDDY YO POLICIES
SHIPPING POLICY
WITHIN CANADA/ DOMESTIC
FREE SHIPPING ELIGIBILITY
We offer free standard ground shipping (typically Canada Post Expedited or equivalent courier) on product orders totaling $120 CAD or more after discounts and before taxes for our retail customer, and orders totaling $500 CAD or more after discounts and before taxes for our wholesale customers. This offer applies to most urban addresses within the 10 Canadian provinces.
⚠️ Remote Areas & Territories: Due to significantly higher courier surcharges, free shipping does not apply to:
- Yukon, Northwest Territories, and Nunavut
- Remote rural areas
- Select Gulf Islands in British Columbia
If your shipping address falls into one of these zones, we will contact you with a custom shipping quote (our cost minus a portion that we will cover on your behalf) before processing your order. You may approve the extra charge or cancel for a full refund.
SHIPPING COSTS (Orders Under $120 for retail, $500 for wholesale)
If your order total is below the free shipping threshold, our website will automatically calculate the exact shipping cost during checkout.
We do not add handling fees or markups — you pay what the courier charges us.
MELTABLE GOODS – CHOCOLATE ETC.
Due to the delicate nature of our chocolate and other meltable products (including but not limited to: Chocolate, Cacao Butter, Cacao Paste, Love Butter, Mindful Monk, etc.), we cannot guarantee that these items will arrive in solid or undamaged condition when shipping.
We do our absolute best to protect your order with insulated packaging and ice packs when appropriate, but extended transit times, warm temperatures, or receiving goods to a community mailbox or if package is left in the sun at point of delivery are beyond our control.
If you are ordering meltable goods, please consider this risk before placing your order.
⏱️ PROCESSING & DISPATCH TIMES
- Order Cutoff: Orders placed before 2:00 PM EST on business days (Monday–Friday) usually ship the same day.
- Weekend Orders: Orders placed after 2:00 PM EST on weekdays, or anytime during the weekend, will ship on the next business day.
- Peak Season Delays: During major sales (e.g., Black Friday, Boxing Day) and Canadian holidays, processing times may extend to 3–5 business days. We appreciate your patience during these busy periods.
- Summer Shipping & Heat-Sensitive Products: During the summer months, we do not dispatch orders on Fridays. For orders containing heat-sensitive or meltable products, we monitor weather conditions at both the shipping origin and destination, taking into account the expected transit time. If temperatures are likely to compromise the condition or quality of the products, we may temporarily hold the order and dispatch it when conditions are more suitable. This is done to help ensure your products arrive in the best possible condition.
DELIVERY TIMEFRAMES
Most Giddy Yo orders are delivered within 2–7 business days from the ship date, depending on stock availability, your location, and the courier service used.
*Please note: Fulfillment and delivery times are estimates and may vary, especially during holidays or extreme weather events.*

Once your order is prepared, packed, and handed off to the carrier, you will receive a Shipment Confirmation Email. This email will include:

✅ ADDRESS ACCURACY (IMPORTANT)
Giddy Yo relies on our customers to provide accurate and complete shipping information. Please double-check your address before clicking "Place Order."

FINAL SALE – INTERNATIONAL & USA ORDERS
All orders shipped to the USA and international destinations are final sale.
We do not accept returns, exchanges, or cancellations on international orders once they have been processed. This policy is in place due to the high cost and complexity of return shipping and customs re-entry.

- Negligence on the part of border services or the destination country's postal service
Once your package leaves Canada, it is subject to the rules and handling practices of the destination country's customs and postal system, over which we have no control.
MELTABLE GOODS – CHOCOLATE ETC.
Due to the delicate nature of our chocolate and other meltable products (including but not limited to: Chocolate, Cacao Butter, Cacao Paste, Love Butter, Mindful Monk, etc.), we cannot guarantee that these items will arrive in solid or undamaged condition when shipping.
We do our absolute best to protect your order with insulated packaging and ice packs when appropriate, but extended transit times, warm temperatures, or receiving goods to a community mailbox or if package is left in the sun at point of delivery are beyond our control.
If you are ordering meltable goods internationally, please consider this risk before placing your order.
⏱️ PROCESSING & DELIVERY TIMES
- Processing: Orders are typically processed and prepared for shipment within 1–3 business days.

- Major sales events (e.g., Black Friday, Boxing Day)

- All Chocolate bars, Truffles, Toffee
- Cacao Paste
- Cacao Butter
- Mindful Monk Bars
- Love Butter

Our shipping department will do their very best to ensure you receive you order fast and in perfect condition.
Due to the delicate nature of our chocolate and other meltable products (including but not limited to: Chocolate, Cacao Butter, Cacao Paste, Love Butter, Mindful Monk, etc.), we cannot guarantee that these items will arrive in solid or undamaged condition when shipping.
We do our absolute best to protect your order with insulated packaging and ice packs when appropriate, but extended transit times, warm temperatures, or receiving goods to a community mailbox or if package is left in the sun at point of delivery are beyond our control.
We do not offer a guarantee on meltable goods, so if you are ordering such goods, please consider this risk before placing your order.

DAMAGED PRODUCT POLICY
DAMAGED PRODUCT
OUR COMMITMENT TO QUALITY
At Giddy Yo, we take great care to ensure your order arrives in tip-top shape. We use adequate protective packaging materials—including bubble wrap, padding, and insulated liners when necessary—to safeguard your products during transit.
However, once your package leaves our warehouse, it enters the hands of the carrier and is subject to handling conditions beyond our control.

Once the carrier confirms delivery to the address you provided, our responsibility for the package ends.
✅ WHAT TO DO IF YOUR PRODUCT ARRIVES DAMAGED
If you receive a product that is damaged, please follow these steps:
Step 1: Document the Damage
Take clear, well-lit photos of:
- The damaged product(s)
- The packaging (box, bubble wrap, etc.)
- Any visible external damage to the shipping box
Step 2: Contact the Carrier (Recommended)
If the damage is clearly due to mishandling during shipping, we recommend that you report the issue to Canada Post or the courier service immediately. They may require you to retain the original packaging for inspection.

RETURN, CREDIT & PRODUCT COMPLAINTS POLICY
RETURN, CREDIT & PRODUCT
COMPLAINT POLICY
At Giddy Yo, we take great care in selecting, preparing, packaging, and shipping our products. Our Return, Credit & Product Complaint Policy is designed to protect product quality, customer safety, and product integrity while providing a clear process for addressing legitimate concerns.
Giddy Yo sells food, ingestible supplements, body care products, liquids, and other specialty products from both Giddy Yo and third-party brands.
Because of the nature of these products, Giddy Yo has a no-return policy on food, ingestible supplements, and body care products, subject to the terms and exceptions outlined below.
Once a product leaves our facility, we cannot verify how it has been stored, handled, opened, used, or otherwise treated. In particular, we cannot verify that food, supplements, or personal care products have not been tampered with, contaminated, or otherwise compromised after leaving our control.
Nothing in this policy limits any rights or remedies that cannot legally be excluded under applicable law.
FOOD & INGESTIBLE SUPPLEMENTS
All food products and ingestible supplements sold by Giddy Yo, regardless of brand, are final sale and are not eligible for return.
This includes, but is not limited to:
- Food products
- Chocolate and confectionery
- Coconut milk and coconut water
- Oils and other food products
- Powders and superfoods
- Supplements
- Vitamins and minerals
- Herbal products
- Other ingestible products
For health and safety reasons, Giddy Yo cannot accept these products back once they have left our facility. We cannot verify whether a product has been opened, tampered with, contaminated, improperly stored, or otherwise compromised after delivery.
We will not place returned food or ingestible supplements back into our inventory for resale.
This policy applies even if a product appears unopened, unless Giddy Yo specifically requests that the product be returned as part of an approved product investigation.
BODY CARE & PERSONAL CARE PRODUCTS
Body care and personal care products packaged in glass are final sale and are not eligible for return.
This includes all glass-packaged body care and personal care products sold by Giddy Yo, regardless of brand.
Our Giddy Yo–branded body care product, Love Butter, is also final sale and is subject to the safety-seal requirements outlined below.
Because we cannot verify how a personal care product has been stored, handled, opened, or used after leaving our facility, Giddy Yo does not accept returns of these products.
Opened or used personal care products are not eligible for return or credit.
## CHANGE OF MIND & ORDERING ERRORS
Giddy Yo does not accept returns or provide credits simply because a customer:
- Has changed their mind
- Ordered the wrong product
- Ordered the wrong size or quantity
- No longer wants the product
- Decided the product is not suitable for their personal preferences
- Purchased a product by mistake
- Finds the product less suitable than expected
Customers are responsible for reviewing their order carefully before completing their purchase.
LIQUID PRODUCTS & TRANSIT RISK
Giddy Yo sells a variety of liquid products, including coconut water, coconut milk, olive oils, mustards, tomatoes in oil, and other liquid or oil-based products.
We take reasonable care to protect liquid products during shipment. Products are appropriately packaged using protective wrapping and packing materials, and we make reasonable efforts to position and secure products in a manner intended to minimize the risk of leakage or breakage during transit.
However, liquid products inherently carry a risk of leakage, spillage, breakage, or other transit-related damage once they leave our facility and are handled by third-party carriers.
Customers purchasing liquid products acknowledge and accept this inherent transit risk.
Glass Liquid Products
Products such as olive oils, mustards, tomatoes in oil, and other liquids packaged in glass are particularly susceptible to breakage during transportation.
Giddy Yo does not accept returns or provide credits for glass-packaged products that are damaged, broken, or leaking as a result of third-party carrier handling.
While we take reasonable precautions to minimize the possibility of damage, we cannot control how the shipment is handled once it leaves our facility. Shipping labels, including "Fragile" or other handling instructions, do not guarantee that a package will be handled accordingly by the carrier.
Non-Glass Liquid Products
Non-glass liquid products, including coconut water and coconut milk, may also be susceptible to leakage, puncture, bursting, or other transit-related damage.
Giddy Yo does not accept returns of these products.
Where a non-glass liquid product arrives damaged or has leaked during transit, Giddy Yo will review the circumstances and determine, at its discretion, whether a store credit, replacement, or other resolution is appropriate.
Customers should contact Giddy Yo promptly if a liquid product has leaked or appears to have been materially compromised.
Customer Acceptance of Transit Risk
By purchasing liquid products, customers acknowledge that transportation of liquids carries an inherent risk of leakage or breakage, despite reasonable protective packaging by Giddy Yo.
Giddy Yo makes reasonable efforts to minimize this risk but cannot guarantee that liquid products will arrive without transit-related damage when transported by third-party carriers.
PACKAGING & SHIPPING DAMAGE
Giddy Yo takes considerable care when packaging products for shipment. However, packages are handled by third-party carriers after leaving our facility, and we cannot control how individual shipments are handled in transit.
Cosmetic damage to exterior or secondary packaging does not qualify for a credit or replacement when the product itself remains intact, properly sealed, safe, and suitable for use.
Examples include:
- Dents
- Scuffs
- Scratches
- Creases
- Crushed corners
- Torn or damaged exterior labels
- Minor punctures to the outer shipping packaging
- Minor damage caused by normal carrier handling
- Cosmetic damage to secondary packaging that does not affect the product
Customers should not expect shipping cartons or exterior packaging to arrive in perfect cosmetic condition.
Primary vs. Secondary Packaging
For purposes of this policy:
Secondary/exterior packaging refers to the shipping carton, outer wrapping, boxes, sleeves, or other packaging that does not directly contain or protect the product itself.
Primary packaging refers to the container, pouch, bottle, jar, seal, or other packaging that directly contains the product.
A puncture, tear, dent, or other damage to secondary packaging does not, by itself, constitute damage to the product.
However, if damage has penetrated the primary product container, caused leakage, broken a safety seal, exposed the product, or otherwise compromised the integrity of the product, please contact Giddy Yo promptly so that we can assess the situation.
LEGITIMATE PRODUCT CONCERNS
Our no-return policy does not prevent us from addressing legitimate concerns regarding an order or product.
Please contact us at service@giddyyoyo.com if:
- You received the wrong product
- An item is missing from your order
- A product arrives materially damaged
- A product's primary packaging or safety seal appears to have been compromised before you received it
- You believe a product may be defective
- You have a legitimate product quality or food-safety concern
We will review the circumstances and determine the appropriate resolution.
Depending on the circumstances, Giddy Yo may, at its discretion, provide a replacement, online store credit, refund, or other appropriate resolution.
Submission of a complaint, photographs, or other information does not automatically qualify a customer for a refund, replacement, or credit.
DAMAGED PRODUCTS & CLAIMS
If a product arrives materially damaged, please contact us promptly at:
service@giddyyoyo.com
To allow us to properly assess the claim, please provide:
- Your original invoice or order number
- A description of the damage or issue
- Clear photographs of the product
- Clear photographs of the product packaging
- Clear photographs of the shipping box and any visible shipping damage
- The product lot or batch number, where applicable
- The best-before or expiration date, where applicable
Damage claims should be submitted within 14 days of the shipment date. Claims submitted after this period may not be eligible for credit, replacement, or other resolution.
Giddy Yo may request additional photographs, information, or the product itself before determining whether a claim will be approved.
Please do not discard a product that is the subject of a quality or safety complaint unless Giddy Yo instructs you to do so.
If Giddy Yo requests that a product be returned for inspection, we will provide specific return instructions and, where applicable, cover the authorized return shipping costs.
FOOD & SUPPLEMENT SAFETY CONCERNS
If you believe a food product or supplement may be contaminated, spoiled, tampered with, or otherwise unsafe:
**DO NOT CONSUME THE PRODUCT**
Please contact service@giddyyoyo.com immediately and retain the product, packaging, lot/batch information, and applicable date markings.
Do not discard the product unless instructed to do so by Giddy Yo.
We take food and supplement safety concerns seriously and may require the product and packaging to be retained or returned for investigation.
Where possible, please provide photographs showing:
- The product
- The packaging
- The safety seal
- The lot/batch number
- The best-before or expiration date
STORAGE & HANDLING
Giddy Yo's food products and most third-party foods and supplements are shelf stable unless otherwise indicated on the product label.
Customers are responsible for following all storage and handling instructions provided on the product label.
Giddy Yo is not responsible for changes in a product's condition, texture, appearance, flavour, freshness, or quality resulting from improper storage or handling after delivery, including exposure to excessive heat, moisture, freezing, sunlight, or other conditions outside the product's stated storage requirements.
Once a product has been delivered, the customer is responsible for storing it appropriately.
SAFETY SEALS
For products carrying a safety seal, Giddy Yo does not accept returns or issue credits for products where the safety seal has been opened, broken, tampered with, or damaged after delivery.
This applies to food, supplements, personal care products, and any other products carrying a safety seal.
This includes Love Butter and any other product sold by Giddy Yo with a safety seal.
If a safety seal appears to have been compromised when you receive the product, do not open or consume the product. Contact Giddy Yo immediately and provide photographs of the product and packaging.
PRODUCTS IN GLASS CONTAINERS
Giddy Yo does not accept returns or provide credits for products packaged in glass.
This applies to food, oils, condiments, body care products, and all other glass-packaged products sold by Giddy Yo, regardless of brand.
Glass containers are particularly susceptible to breakage during transportation. Once an order leaves our facility, it is handled by third-party carriers, and Giddy Yo cannot control how the shipment is handled during transit.
Customers purchasing glass-packaged products acknowledge this inherent transit risk.
If a glass-packaged product arrives damaged, please contact us promptly with photographs of the product, packaging, and shipping box. Giddy Yo will review the circumstances and determine whether any assistance can be provided.
1 KG CHOCOLATE BARS
Our 1 kg chocolate bars are specifically manufactured as a bulk/reworking product and are packaged differently from our finished 60 g chocolate bars.
Due to their large size and minimal packaging, minor breaks, cracks, chips, or other cosmetic imperfections may occur during shipping.
These characteristics are inherent to the product and do not constitute a defect or qualify for a return, refund, replacement, or credit.
Our 1 kg chocolate bars are intended primarily for melting, baking, reworking, and other chocolate applications, rather than direct consumption in the same finished form as our 60 g bars.
Because these bars are minimally tempered, they may naturally exhibit:
- Textural variations
- An aerated or porous consistency
- A waxy mouth-feel
- Fat bloom or a natural grey film
- Minor breaks, cracks, or chips
- Taste variations due to the above
These characteristics are inherent to the product and are not considered defects or grounds for a return, refund, replacement, or credit.
By purchasing a 1 kg chocolate bar, customers acknowledge and accept these inherent characteristics.
INCORRECT OR MISSING PRODUCTS
If you receive an incorrect product or an item is missing from your order, please contact service@giddyyoyo.com promptly with your order/invoice number and details of the issue.
We will review the order and, where appropriate, arrange for a replacement, credit, refund, or other resolution.
If Giddy Yo requests that an incorrect product be returned, we will provide specific return instructions.
Please do not send any product back without first contacting Giddy Yo.
THIRD-PARTY BRANDS
Giddy Yo sells products manufactured and branded by both Giddy Yo and third-party manufacturers.
The return and credit restrictions in this policy apply regardless of the brand of the product.
For third-party products, Giddy Yo does not alter, open, repackage, or otherwise modify the manufacturer's sealed product before sale.
Product information, ingredients, directions, warnings, storage requirements, and other manufacturer-provided information are provided as supplied by the manufacturer. Customers are responsible for reviewing product labeling and information before purchasing and using a product.
Where a legitimate product issue involves a third-party manufactured product, Giddy Yo will review the matter and determine the appropriate resolution. Where applicable, Giddy Yo may work with the manufacturer or supplier to investigate the concern.
STORE CREDITS
Where Giddy Yo approves a store credit, the credit will generally be issued as an online Giddy Yo store credit for the approved amount.
Credits will be based on the actual purchase price paid for the affected product.
Shipping charges will not be credited unless otherwise determined by Giddy Yo or required by applicable law.
Store credits are not transferable and are not redeemable for cash except where required by applicable law.
FINAL SALE
Food products, ingestible supplements, and body care/personal care products packaged in glass are final sale.
Final sale products are not eligible for return or credit due to change of mind, ordering error, personal preference, or other circumstances unrelated to a legitimate product issue.
This does not limit any rights or remedies that may apply under applicable law.
CLAIM REVIEW & GIDDY YO'S DISCRETION
Giddy Yo reserves the right to review each product complaint individually.
We may request photographs, additional information, proof of purchase, lot/batch information, or the product itself before determining whether a claim will be approved.
Giddy Yo reserves the right to decline a claim where the circumstances do not support the claim or where the issue appears to have resulted from improper storage, handling, use, tampering, or circumstances outside Giddy Yo's reasonable control.
Any exception made by Giddy Yo to this policy is made at our discretion and does not create an obligation to make the same exception in the future.
CONTACT US
We understand that issues can occasionally arise, and we are committed to reviewing legitimate product concerns fairly and promptly.
