Afterpay is available for customers in supported countries and the total purchase amount must meet eligibility requirements.

Sezzle allows you to spread your purchase over four equal, interest-free payments. Payments are scheduled every two weeks, and as long as you make your payments on time, there are no extra costs. Sezzle is available for customers in supported regions.

If you experience difficulties using your credit or debit card to make an international purchase, please first contact your credit card or bank to ensure that your card has been enabled for international purchases. Make sure the billing address provided matches the address on your credit card/bank statement. This will nearly always fix your issue. Please note that all prices are listed and charged in USD unless otherwise noted.

Duties and Taxes

Goods under 20 Canadian dollars are duty and excise tax exempt. For goods valued above this threshold, duties and taxes may apply, which will be indicated on a CBSA Postal Import Form (E14) attached to your mail item.

Yet, we can't guarantee it represents the latest regulations. We cannot be responsible for any customs restrictions, tariffs, or other regulations that may apply in countries outside the United States. If you have any questions, we encourage you to speak with your customs office(https://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/contact/bis-sif-eng.html), although we will ship any products you order to the address you provide. SameDaySupplements.com cannot be held responsible for any laws or regulations that result in Customs applying additional cost to your order, whether tax or duties, nor any related delivery delays or seized products. Any duties or taxes that may apply are your responsibility. However, please note that the vast majority of international shipments do not experience problems or delays, and our customers are very rarely assessed additional fees. In the event additional fees are assessed to your order, your local Customs authority will contact you directly. By ordering from SameDaySupplements.com, you agree to our policies. Please review our Terms & Conditions , Privacy Policy, & Returns Policies. SameDaySupplements.com reserves the right to change these policies at any time.

The laws are different in every country and we cannot keep up with them all. The responsibility is yours to check with your country's Customs office to see if your country allows the shipment of products you ordered (or wish to order) to your country.

We will do our part and follow the exact directions in your order. We will ship the products that you pick to the address that you provide. We will give you the best service and ship it very quickly at the rates that we have agreed to on our site. If for whatever reason the package is seized by Customs Officials, we will not issue you a refund unless all products are returned to us in their original condition. Most orders make it through customs fine; however, most orders that are stopped are returned to us. Also, if the package is returned to us by Customs Officials, you are still responsible for any shipping charges. You pay actual shipping charges based on the weight of the package and handling costs. Medium bottles are cheaper to ship than heavy nutrition bars and protein powders.
