Shipping Policy

Why Do We Charge for Shipping?

At Obasan, we believe in transparency. The truth is, shipping is never free. We've decided to be more upfront about this reality. By showing the non-refundable shipping costs associated with our products, we hope guests will be more conscious with their purchase decisions and help us reduce our environmental impact. Thank you for supporting our commitment to honesty and responsible retail.

All orders are processed within 7 business days (excluding weekends and holidays) after receiving your order confirmation email. An Obasan Customer Experience Specialist will contact you to confirm the details and timeline of your order. Delivery times will be discussed with you at that time, and will depend on the level of customization of your products. You will receive another notification when your order has shipped. Our mattresses come boxed and are easily transported through standard shipping methods.

DOMESTIC SHIPPING RATES AND ESTIMATES

Free shipping on all orders over $400, except on Foundations where a $250 flat fee is charged on CDN, and $400 in the USA. We do our very best to keep shipping costs as reasonable as possible, but rising shipping costs are a real challenge. Know that the amounts we charge you only reflect ~50% of how much it costs us. As always, we thank you for your support and for choosing Obasan.

IN-STORE PICKUP

You can skip the shipping fees with free local pickup at 155 Colonnade Rd, Ottawa, Ontario. A customer service representative will contact you when your order is prepared and ready for pick up.

Instructions for the pick-up will be communicated to you by the customer service representative. Please have your order confirmation email with you when you come.

INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING

For international shipping, you need to contact our sleep specialist, and do a shipping quote. If you are located in the United States, please make your transaction on this site : https://obasan.com/

HOW DO I CHECK THE STATUS OF MY ORDER?

When your order has shipped, you will receive an email notification from us which will include a tracking number you can use to check its status. Please allow 48 hours for the tracking information to become available.

If you have any questions regarding your order status, please email us at hello@obasan.com with your name and order number, and we will look into it for you.
