Delivery & shipping

What’s the difference between parcel delivery and truck delivery?

The main difference is the type of items eligible for each service and how they are delivered.

Parcel delivery

Parcel delivery is generally suited to smaller items that can be shipped by our delivery partner.

Truck delivery

Truck delivery is mainly used for heavy or bulky items, or products that are not eligible for parcel delivery, such as lumber, building materials, flooring and patio furniture.

Visit our Delivery Methods page to learn more.

Can I choose more than one delivery method for the same online order?

Yes. You can choose different delivery methods for the same online order. In your cart, simply select your preferred delivery method for each item.

Parcel delivery

Which delivery companies do you use?
Our parcel delivery partners are Purolator and Canada Post.
How long does parcel delivery take?

Most online orders shipped by parcel are delivered within 7 to 10 business days.

Delivery times are estimates and may vary due to weather conditions or circumstances beyond our control, including issues affecting our carriers. Delivery times are therefore not guaranteed.

BMR cannot be held responsible for any damages or costs resulting from a delivery delay.

How much does parcel delivery cost?

Parcel delivery is free on orders of $49 or more before taxes.

A $6.99 delivery fee applies to orders under $49 before taxes.

Applicable delivery fees are added to your cart and are not included in product prices. Some products are not eligible for parcel delivery due to their size, weight or nature.

Where is parcel delivery available?

Parcel delivery is available in Quebec, Ontario, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and Newfoundland and Labrador.

If your address is outside our delivery area, your order may be cancelled. If this happens, we will notify you and refund any amount already paid.

How do I track my parcel?

When your order ships, you’ll automatically receive an email with your tracking number and a link to our delivery partner’s website.

If you have an account, you can also sign in and select My Orders from the menu. In the Status column, click Track My Parcel to track your delivery.

Is a signature required for parcel delivery?

A signature may be required for some orders, depending on the carrier, the order value or the applicable delivery conditions.

If you’re not home when delivery is attempted, the carrier may leave a notice with instructions on how to pick up your parcel or arrange another delivery attempt.

My order has shipped, but I haven’t received it yet. What should I do?

If you still haven’t received your order after 10 days, contact our customer service team at 1 888 504-0247 or by email at [email protected]. Our team is available to help Monday to Friday, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. (ET).
