Order Currency
Please note that all orders are charged in Canadian dollars (CAD). If shopping in the USA, or British Isles, you may use the currency converter on our website for ease! However, your credit card will charge your order in Canadian funds, and use their exchange rate to convert it to your currency. Your credit card company will automatically determine the exchange rate for you at the time of purchase. You will then see the actual amount you were charged on your credit card statement. The currency converter on our website is to assist you with a guideline of what your transaction will look like on your credit card statement, but it may not be exact. This is again determined by your credit card company.
Please also note that free shipping only applies to orders that include $99 or more of product (ie. gift cards do not contribute to the total).
Lost or Stolen Packages
Please ensure you follow your tracking and provide instructions to the courier or driver if you know you will not be home to receive your package, to avoid any parcels being stolen. Porch piracy is on the rise, and we are not responsible if your order is stolen once it is delivered.
Our responsibility is to pack your order thoughtfully and carefully to ensure that your goods make it to you without breaking, and to choose a courier with a proven track record with fast and efficient shipping and delivery.
Once your package has been scanned into the courier’s mail system, it is no longer our responsibility. This includes lost or stolen packages. If a package has been marked "delivered" when viewing tracking and it has not been received by you, please contact the mail carrier to submit a ticket. If you experience any issues with this process, please reach out to us and we will do our best to help you locate your package.
If a package is lost, due to the fault of a courier we have chosen for you, we will make this right with you. However, if a package has been marked as delivered, and we receive proof of delivery from the courier (a picture of it delivered at your front door) we are not responsible for this stolen package. If this happens, we advise you to go through insurance through your credit card provider.
Editing/Cancelling Orders
In Store Pickup

1. Add your fave green beauty products to your cart at thegreenkiss.com
2. Select “Local In Store Pick-Up” as your shipping method at check out.
3. You will then receive an order confirmation email, which lets you know that we have received your order, and that we are getting it ready.
4. Then, once your order has been picked and packed, you will receive a fulfillment email that it is ready for pick up.
Orders placed before 4pm will most likely be fulfilled the same day unless order volume is high. If you need something fulfilled quick, please don't hesitate to call us at 250.412.2305.
