ORDER PROCESSING, SHIPPING, AND DELIVERY TIMES

ela ships within Canada. Please email us at info@elahandbags.com if you have questions regarding international shipments.

All shipping services used by ela provide a tracking number and insurance for the cost of your package.

The table below outlines delivery times based on order subtotal (pre-tax total) and province.

Please note an additional 1-3 business day processing time is required before orders are shipped (this does not include weekends) – the shipping speed on your order reflects how quickly the selected postal service delivers the package to you once the order has been processed.

Should a package be marked as delivered by the courier provider as per the tracking information and cannot be retrieved at the shipping address, ela does not claim responsibility for the loss. Unfortunately, we do not replace nor refund an order after it has been confirmed as delivered to the correct address by the courier. We would recommend contacting the courier to proceed with resolving this matter.
