SHIPPING AND RETURN
In light of the recent Canada Post strike, we’ve switched to FedEx as our delivery partner to ensure your orders arrive on time. While we don’t anticipate delays, we recommend placing your holiday orders early to accommodate the busy season.
For added convenience, you can also opt to pick up your orders at our cafés or roastery. As always, if you need more assistance, please feel free to email us : onlines@49thcoffee.com
Q: How long is shipping and delivery?
A: At 49th, we ship daily from Monday to Friday (except public holidays) with most orders processed next-day or even same-day! However, roasting schedules and other factors can cause minor delays of up to 72hrs. For this reason, we request you allow up to three business days for order processing in addition to the quoted shipping time. Our Roastery is closed weekends and public holidays.
Should you desire expedited shipping with delivery within one business day and are open to an additional charge, we kindly ask that you ensure your order is placed before 9 AM PST.
Canada Post & FedEx Free Ship Estimated Timelines:
Within BC is 1-3 business days excluding weekends and holidays.
Outside of BC is 5-14 business days excluding weekends and holidays.
If you have questions or concerns about an upcoming shipment, feel free to contact us at support@49thcoffee.com.

If you anticipate any delays or need to reschedule your pickup, please let us know as soon as possible so that we can make alternative arrangements.
Q: I placed an order, but haven’t received my package yet, and I ordered it awhile ago; where is it?
A: We want you to get your order quickly and error free. Since we work with Canada Post and/or Fedex to make this happen, we will need your help too! If it’s taking longer than usual, first take a look at your tracking number that gets emailed to you upon shipping. If the tracking indicates that the package has been delivered, give Canada Post or Fedex a call; they are the most appropriate people to help in this case. It is possible there was an error in the shipping address. In some cases, severe weather warnings can delay things as well.
We do nitrogen flush our coffees, so even though we hope a delay doesn’t happen, it is much less likely to affect the quality and freshness of your order.
Q: Do you offer free shipping?
A: We currently offer free ground shipping on orders of $60 or more in USA and Canada. Please note that the subtotal after any discounts must be over the shipping minimum to receive free shipping. For wholesale accounts — we offer free ground shipping for orders above 40lbs in both the continental USA and Canada. For more information on becoming a wholesale partner, check out our wholesale page.
You can also pick up your order for free at our Roastery located in Burnaby, BC and our Main Street Cafe in Vancouver, BC.
Q: Do you ship to the U.S.A.?
A: Yes we do! We've got some pretty good shipping rates as well. Just a reminder that duties and fees are not charged on coffee orders — however, for purchases on retail items exceeding $200.00, you become responsible for any duties and fees.
Q: How about to the rest of the world?
A. We can ship coffee to most countries around the world.
Please note that brokerage, duties, and taxes associated with international shipping apply solely to the customer and we assume no responsibility for issues with international shipping. If you have any questions, you can contact us at support@49thcoffee.com.
Q: Can I make changes to or cancel my order?
A: We try to ship your coffee order to you as soon as possible to ensure our coffee arrives as fresh as possible, therefore once payment is accepted and the order is confirmed, it is immediately in process to be shipped. There is a small window of time where we can pull the order out before it is physically packed. We can cancel your order completely to start fresh if we have not shipped it out yet. The same applies for address change as we are unable to change the address once the order is shipped. Please make sure to input the correct address before placing your order.
In case you have an active subscription, we send an email notification 3 days before your subscription order is shipped out to confirm your order quantities, coffees and dates. Please make sure to check this notification and get back to us in case you have any change requests. Unfortunately, any request after the order is received will not be accepted!
If you need to cancel your entire order, please at support@49thcoffee.com as soon as possible with subject line "Cancellation", your order number and full name and we will try our best to help you out! Sorry, once an order is shipped and leaves our warehouse, we cannot make any changes to the order.
