cancellation
We’ll be happy to help if we can!
Orders can be canceled only if they haven’t entered processing or packing yet.
Please email info@drlouie.ca with your order number as soon as possible.
The earlier you contact us, the better the chance we can stop the order in time.
Once an order is being prepared, packed, or has shipped, we can’t cancel it anymore.
However, you’re still welcome to return it after delivery as long as it remains unopened, following our Return & Refund Policy (samples excluded).
We’re unable to cancel orders purchased through retail partners.
Please reach out directly to the store for their cancellation policy.

We offer a 30-day satisfaction guarantee, which means you may request support, a return, or a refund within 30 days of delivery, subject to the return conditions below.
Eligibility

Unopened and unused products may be returned within 30 days of delivery for a refund to the original payment method. - Opened or used products
Opened or used products may be eligible for a return or refund on a case-by-case basis and are subject to review. To help us assess the issue and prevent misuse of our policy, we may request:

Regional Limitation
Due to international logistics and customs limitations, returns and refunds are not available for orders shipped to the Middle East (including UAE and Saudi Arabia).
Fair Use Policy
Because our products are personal care items, we reserve the right to decline returns that appear excessive, abusive, or inconsistent with normal personal use.
How to Start a Return
Please contact our customer support team ㅁat info@drlouie.ca first to initiate a return.
We’ll guide you through the steps to ensure a smooth process.
For non-defective returns (change of mind or general dissatisfaction), a flat round-trip shipping fee applies:
- Canada: 20 CAD
- U.S., UK, Australia, New Zealand: 20 USD
- European Union: 20 EUR
This covers both outbound and return shipping, as well as handling.
In most of the countries we ship to, duties or taxes usually do not apply unless your order exceeds a certain value — so most customers won’t encounter any additional charges.
However, if duties, VAT, or customs fees are assessed by your local authorities, please note that these charges are non-refundable, as they are not collected by DrLOUIE and are paid directly to customs during import processing.
It’s simple — just email info@drlouie.ca with:
- Your order number
- The item(s) you want to return
- The reason for the return
Our team will walk you through the next steps.
DEFECTIVE OR DAMAGED ITEMS
We’ll take care of it right away.
If your item is damaged, defective, or incorrect, we offer a full refund or free replacement, and we cover all shipping costs.
To help us resolve the issue quickly, please email:
- Your order number
- A brief description of the issue
- Photo or video evidence clearly showing the defect
- A photo of the batch number (if possible)
Once verified, we’ll issue a refund or send a replacement completely free of charge.
REFUNDS
Once your return is received and inspected, refunds usually appear in 3–7 business days, depending on your bank or credit card provider.
If approved, you’ll be refunded for the product amount only.
For non-defective returns, the appropriate flat round-trip shipping fee will be deducted.
Original shipping fees, duties, and customs charges are not refundable.
Here’s what we recommend:
- Check your bank or credit card account again
