Shipping Surcharges for Remote Areas
Certain remote areas within the United States have limited delivery service and this results in high shipping costs. We are unable to offer free shipping to these areas, but do have competitive rates of which you can take advantage. Once we receive your order we will contact you with the shipping surcharge. We apologize in advance for any delays or inconvenience this may cause.
We currently do not ship to:
- PO Boxes
- Alaska, Hawaii, and a few other protectorates/territories like Guam and Puerto Rico
Order Turn-Around-Time
International and US orders are processed on a first come, first serve basis and are dispatched from our warehouse twice per week. We process orders on business days (excluding Canadian holdiays). However, during the busy holiday season, your order may take longer to ship out than usual due to the heavy volume of orders. Your order may also take longer to ship out when we are running flash sales or events. In some instances when items are thought to be in stock but are not available, you will be notified via email of the options available to you prior to your order shipping. Please note, we reserve the right to not ship any orders for any reason. If your order has a problem and cannot be shipped, we will contact you with a potential resolution.
Receiving Your Shipment
Please follow these basic guidelines to ensure the option of returning any of the products purchased:
a. In some cases, we will request a direct signature by the recipient. This option is commonly used for highly priced and valued items. Although we do not request direct signature as a regular practice with shipments, customers must be present to receive, inspect, and sign for their delivery if a signature is required.
b. Before signing/receiving the order, please ensure all shipments pieces are present and undamaged.
c. When signing for the package it is very important to be as detailed and descriptive as possible on the packing slip before you sign. Your signature indicates acceptance, and if you simply sign without inspecting the packaging or its contents, then you are accepting the shipment “as is”. If you did not receive the proper number of packages or if any items appear as if they could be damaged, make sure you note this prior to signing. If damages or shortages are not recorded the shipping company will not honour insurance claims and unfortunately we will not be able to honour our return policy.
d. When your order arrives, unpack all contents to ensure that you were shipped the correct items. If there are any damages or shortages they must be reported immediately (within 24 hours) to webdesk@ecscoffee.com or call us toll free at 1-800-263-3890.
Keeping Track Of Your Order
Once your purchase has been shipped you will be e-mailed a tracking number to check the status of your order. We are committed to providing for you the best possible service, if you have any questions please contact us.
For all other tracking information, visit your account to see the tracking information for your order.
Undelivered Packages & Porch Piracy
In the rare case that a package does not make it to you, we will communicate with our couriers on your behalf to try and locate the package. Our couriers provide us with photos of delivered packages, so we are able to pinpoint the exact location where the package was delivered.
If your package shows as delivered with a delivery photo but is not there, please check with your neighbours or family members. In rare cases your package may have been stolen by "porch pirates", which is a lot more common during the holiday season. Unfortunately we are not responsible for packages lost or stolen due to Porch Piracy. To protect yourself against porch piracy, we recommend keeping an eye on your tracking information to ensure you can collect your order when it is delivered.
Final Sale Items & No Return Items
Due to health and safety concerns some of our products cannot be returned. Products that cannot be returned are individual or opened single serve capsules, and any other opened, consumable products. Freshly ground whole beans are not returnable. If you have an issue with your machine or appliance, please email webdesk@ecscoffee.com or call us toll free at 1-800-263-3890. We can help troubleshoot your machine, and provide you with help using your new machine. In the case that the machine has a warranty concern, we can help you start a new warranty claim with the manufacturer.
Any items marked in the product description as “Final Sale” cannot be returned.
Returns

Shipping Discrepancies
We have a multi-step process to ensure accuracy of all orders that ship from our warehouse. Each item is scanned twice through our system so it is unlikely you will receive the wrong item. We also track serial numbers of items (where applicable) we ship and keep a record of the weight of each shipment. This additional step enables us to duplicate each shipment, repack and confirm all items were shipped by weight. If you are unfortunate enough to discover a mistake or a damaged item in your order, please inform us right away by sending an email to webdesk@ecscoffee.com or call 1-800-263-3890 so we can rectify this for you asap.
Damaged Items
Damaged items must be reported within 2 business days of receiving your order. We recommend that you take pictures of the damages prior to opening any packages.
Please follow the process below to notify us of your damaged items.
Returning Damaged Goods
The return process must be carefully followed in order to ensure there are no issues when returning your product:
a. Call us toll free at 1-800-263-3890 and request to speak to an online customer service representative.
b. The online customer service representative will record your information and acknowledge your claim(s).
c. Follow the directions given by the online customer service representative to return your order. It is extremely important that you include the details of your claim(s) and copy of your receipt with the returned order.
Returns will be processed within 5 business days upon ECS Coffee receiving them.
Cancelling Your Order
If you have placed an order and would like to cancel it, please email webdesk@ecscoffee.com or call us toll free at 1-800-263-3890 within 3 hours of placing your order to cancel it free of any charges.
