Q: What should I expect if I purchase a “Pre-Order” item?
A: Pre-Order is the ability to reserve a product prior to prior to the date on which it becomes available for immediate purchase on www.origins.ca. When you purchase a Pre-Order item, we will provide an estimated ship date for that item during the checkout process and in your order confirmation email. If you have an account, this date is also visible in the Order History section. Pre-Order items may ship separately from other items in your order, and you will receive a shipping confirmation email when the shipment occurs. If multiple shipments occur, you will not be charged additional shipping, and any samples or promotional items ordered will be included in your first shipment. If we are unable to ship your product by the estimated ship date, we will provide you with notice and you will have an option to cancel.

Q: When will I be charged for a Pre-Order purchase?
A: Origins Online Canada does not charge your credit or debit card until your item(s) has shipped. However, prior to shipment, your debit or credit card statement may show an “authorization hold,” which may look similar to a deduction from your account. These funds have not been deducted but are instead being reserved within your account to ensure that your order can be processed. The authorization hold will typically last from three to seven days, depending on the policy of your bank or card issuer.

Q: How can I cancel or edit a Pre-Order purchase?
A: You can check the status of your pre-ordered items online at www.origins.ca if you have an account, or by contacting Origins Online Canada Customer Care. If you need further assistance or wish to cancel or make a change to your pre-order before it ships, please contact Customer Care at 1.800.674.4467 or by email at OriginsOnlineService@Origins.com.
