A return label is included in your package. Fees will be deducted from your refund:
- $13: Standard rate (QC and ON).
- $25: Oversized items (100-199cm and under 30lbs) or remote areas (outside QC/ON).
- At the buyer's expense: Oversized items (199 cm and over, or weighing more than 30 lbs) are subject to return shipping fees due to their size or weight, which are the responsibility of the buyer.
- Free: If you return the item to our store locations (Laval/Brossard) or use your own carrier account (proof of payment required).

5. Warranties
- Duration: One-year manufacturer's warranty (normal use).
- Proof of Purchase: Mandatory for all claims.
- Process: Processing times, repairs, or exchanges are at the manufacturer’s discretion.
- Contact: support@oberson.com or visit a store location.
6. Sales Tax and In-Store Pickup
- Taxes are applied based on the shipping province.
-
In-Store Pickup: To benefit from Quebec sales tax rates (14.975%), your shipping address (step 3 of checkout) must be in Quebec. If you reside out of province (e.g., Ontario at 13%), you will be required to pay the tax difference in-store when picking up your order.
- Tip: You can use the address of one of our store locations as your shipping address to avoid this recalculation.
