Most frequent questions

How do I pick the right size?

Our clothing is designed in Montréal according to North American standards. So go with the size you normally wear. If you're not sure, take a look at our size guide.

When will I receive my order?

Orders are usually processed within 48 hours, and delivery take between 2 and 7 business days, depending on the type of shipping you select. You can check the status of your order at any time by signing into My Account.

Do I have to create an account to buy online?

No, you don't have to. You can shop as a guest. But having an account allows you to follow your order in real time and to save time with every transaction. And having an account does not commit you to anything in any way.

Online Payments and Security

What methods of payment do you accept?

You can pay for your online purchase using a credit card (Visa, MasterCard or American Express), a Visa Debit card, or one or more San Francisco gift cards.

Credit card - Marie Claire

How can I find out if an item is available in store?

The easiest way is to call the store nearest you and give them the name of the item, the size you're looking for and the product code. You'll find this code on the web page of each item.

Are online transactions secure?

marie-claire.com is a secure site that uses SSL technology. This guarantees information confidentiality so you can shop with peace of mind.

Delivery and Shipping Fees

How much does delivery cost?

Every order of $75 and over (before tax) will be delivered for free, anywhere in Canada, via regular shipping. For orders under $75, you can pick regular shipping for $7.95, or express shipping for $10.

Can I get free express shipping?

We offer free regular shipping on orders of $75 or more (before tax). Of course, you can choose express shipping, but if you do, you'll be charged the $10 express shipping fee.

Is there a cost for returning items?

No. In store or postal returns are always free.

Note that final sales cannot be returned, exchanged or refunded.

How do I take care of the clothing I bought?

You'll find care instructions in the Product Details section of every page showcasing a piece of clothing or an accessory. Recommendations for care are also clearly indicated on the label of each item.

Order Tracking or Cancellation

How do I know the status of my order?

Log in to your Marie-Claire account and click on My Orders. You'll see your past orders there, as well as any current orders, along with their status.

Can I change or cancel an order?

Yes. So long as your order hasn't shipped, we can cancel or modify it.

If you've already received confirmation that your order has shipped, that means your package is already on its way. But don't worry: you can return the items you ordered using the normal return procedure described here.

Why was my order cancelled?

If the information on the credit card used for the payment is inaccurate, the order is automatically cancelled for your security. Most often, this is because the billing address for the order is different from the address associated with the credit card, or because there is an error in the card verification number (found on the back of the card) or in the expiration date. It could also be because the card's credit limit was exceeded.

It is also possible for an order to be cancelled because the items selected are no longer available online at the time of the transaction.

In these cases, credit card companies may freeze the amount of the purchase for up to three days.

Please note that when an order is cancelled, it cannot be reactivated or modified. If you still want to buy the articles in the cancelled order, you have to start a new order.

How long will it take for me to receive my order?

Delivery will take between 3 and 7 business days for regular shipping, and between 2 and 3 business days for express shipping. If you live in a rural or remote area, the time will surely be 3 business days.

Can I return a final-sale item?

No. Items bought on final sale cannot be returned, exchanged or refunded. Please do not mail them to us. We cannot credit you for them.

Am I entitled to a price adjustment?

Price adjustments are offered only in the 14 days following the purchase of an item at regular price. You must request the price adjustment while the sale you want to take advantage of is ongoing. Come into a store with your receipt. For online purchases, you can request the price adjustment via email or live chat, by providing your order number. No price adjustments are offered during special events and VIP sales or on Power lunch, Black Friday and Cyber Monday.
