For most customers shopping from Canada, the best option is to pay online (Credit/Debit Card or PayPal) and aim for orders over $150 to unlock free shipping.
Here's why this stands out as the optimal path:
Payment: Credit card or PayPal is the most flexible and widely available method. It works for both local and international customers, is secure, and makes returns/refunds seamless since the credit goes straight back to the same card.
Shipping: Reaching the $150 free shipping threshold is a smart move — standard shipping is free and takes 3–7 business days within Canada, which is reasonable. For customers in the Greater Toronto Area (Toronto, Markham, Stouffville, Pickering, Ajax), Cash on Delivery is also a unique perk if you prefer to pay upon receipt.
Returns: The 30-day policy is generous for a skincare brand. To make the most of it, keep items sealed until you're sure you want them — once opened, returns are not accepted unless the product was damaged or faulty.
For international (US) customers: Be prepared for potentially longer delivery (up to 3 weeks total) and possible customs fees that SkinRefiners cannot predict or cover. Budget accordingly and order well in advance.
