Shipping & Tracking

Orders are processed and picked up between 3pm to 5pm Eastern Time, Monday to Friday. It typically takes one business day to process an order. Shipping time can vary depending on your location and choice of shipping service.

The Hoot Hut complies with federal and provincial guidelines on the sale and distribution of goods to customers over the age of 19; therefore, a signature and an ID check are required on delivery or pickup for all orders. As a result of this, packages cannot be left at the door or in a mailbox. Orders shipped to a P.O. box address will be held at a Canada Post office for pickup.

Any orders sent with free shipping are shipped via Canada Post Expedited Parcel. In order to qualify for free shipping, the subtotal of your order (after discounts, but before taxes) must exceed $149 CAD.
