Privacy & Security

We use the industry standard encryption protocol known as Secure Socket Layer (SSL) to keep your order information secure.

We have established a Secure Shopping Guarantee for every transaction that you make with The First Aid Zone. Should any unauthorized charges appear on your credit card as a result of shopping with The First Aid Zone, you must notify your credit card provider in accordance with its reporting rules and procedures.

We will cover the liability of purchases made through this web site only if the unauthorized use of your credit card resulted through no fault of your own. If your bank holds you responsible for fraudulent charges, we will cover your liability up to $50.00.

When providing your credit card information, you are also requested to enter a security code known as the CVV or CVV2 code which is typically 3 digits following the last 4 digits of your credit card number located on the back of Visa, Mastercard and Discover cards. Amex cards use a 4 digit CID code placed above the credit card number and is located on the front of the card. For more information follow this link.

Shipping & Taxes

Sales Tax

Since The First Aid Zone is based in Ontario, Canada, provincial law requires that we charge Provincial sales tax on orders shipped to customers residing in Ontario and HST or GST (as appropriate) on orders shipped to other provinces within Canada.

To customers residing in provinces/states other than Ontario, please be aware that, if applicable, the taxing authorities in your province/state may charge you a "use" tax on your out-of-province/state internet and/or catalog purchases. While it is not the responsibility of The First Aid Zone to charge or collect this "use" tax from you at this time, we are alerting our customers regarding this possibility as a courtesy. If you require further information on this issue, we suggest you contact the tax authorities in your province/state directly.

Shipping Rules & Restrictions

Most orders begin the order process as soon as your online purchase is completed. Your order will be shipped once your payment is approved, the receiving address is verified, and the item is located in stock. If an item you order is not currently in stock, you will be notified by email.

For security reasons, all shipments over $200 require an authorized signature*. If you cannot be available to sign for your package, please be sure that an adult who is authorized to sign for your package will be present at the designated shipping address.

*Important note: If your order is being delivered to an office building, apartment complex or similar facility, or to a public institution such as a hospital, hotel, school, etc., the carrier may accept the signatures of mailroom employees, receptionists, and similar administrative personnel upon delivery. Upon signature or acceptance by such personnel, we shall be deemed to have fulfilled our entire delivery obligation for your order. We are not responsible for lost or stolen items delivered in accordance with the delivery practices noted above.

Shipping Choices & Costs

In-Stock Items / Same Day Shipping

Most orders for In-Stock items begin the order process as soon as your online purchase is completed.

The First Aid Zone offers same day shipping on many orders for in-stock merchandise if we receive and process your credit card order before 3:00 pm PST Monday through Friday. Credit card orders for in-stock merchandise received after 3:00 p.m. PST Friday, on a weekend day or a holiday will begin processing the next business day.

Merchandise not available for same day shipping usually ships within two business days after your credit card order has processed. Please note that overnight delivery on credit card orders for in-stock merchandise processed before 3:00 p.m. PST on Fridays will be shipped on Monday as the next business day unless you select Saturday delivery for an additional charge when available. Please consult with your Sales Associate for details.

Canadian & U.S. Shipments

The First Aid Zone is proud to offer FREE ground shipping on all orders totaling at least $300 CDN and weighing less than 45 lbs (20.4 kg) (excluding taxes and shipping & handling charges) to all Canadian and U.S. destinations except Alaska and Hawaii; shipments to Alaska and Hawaii can only be shipped by 2nd day or Next Day service. All orders are shipped using a recognized courier or postal service and are fully insured in transit. Delivery time is usually five (5) business days from the time your package leaves our warehouse. Please note that we do not ship to P.O. Boxes outside of Canada without the express consent of the purchaser. Within Canada, delivery is available to PO boxes that receive service by Canada Post. Please ensure that your address includes all relevant information including a suite or apartment number and correct postal code. Incorrect postal information can disrupt the timely delivery of your order. If you have a question or concern, please call us.

At the present time a Flat Rate shipping fee of $15 (in the currency of the order) is charged for all orders under 20 lbs. This fee may be reduced based on the weight and size of the order for shipments within Ontario and Quebec. This fee may also change as shipping rates of our carriers change. Please understand that due to the wide range of products that we carry, it is very difficult to determine an exact shipping rate but we attempt to honour our $15 shipping fee in most instances. Oversize and heavy packages may incur a shipping fee that exceeds the Flat Rate $15 fee. Faster service by Expresspost or Priority Courier is available for an additional fee. Please contact us for pricing if these services are required. Current fee structure: $20 (20-40 lbs), $25 (40 - 60 lbs), $30 (60 -75 lbs), $35 for parcels exceeding 75 lbs. Please note that if a destination is located such that shipping charges deviate significantly from these rates, the customer will be notified prior to order fulfillment with a firm shipping quote. It will be the customers decision whether to proceed with the order.

For your security, your order will not automatically be delivered without an authorized signature. If an economy shipping method is selected, the requirement for an authorized signature may be waved.

If you cannot be available to sign for your package, please be sure that an adult who is authorized to sign for your package will be available at the designated shipping address. It is up to the delivery service to provide alternative delivery options which may include notification of a second attempt for delivery or the optional pickup at a depot or postal outlet. Customers will be charged a fee of $10 to reroute a package once it has been released to our carriers.

International Shipments

All prices and shipping charges are listed in U.S. currency.

The First Aid Zone ships your packages via International Service at a flat rate, for a basic service, of $34.95 per shipment. Please note that basic International Small Packet Air delivery does not include tracking or signature confirmation services. Customers will be notified of shipment choices and offered the best rate possible based upon the package weight, size and destination. You can place your international order at The First Aid Zone via: www.FirstAidZone.com

Please note: International orders are subject to additional handling charges, higher shipping rates, and applicable customs, import duties and taxes, which are the sole responsibility of the customer. The customer will be charged for these fees prior to shipment. The First Aid Zone uses best efforts to calculate these fees in advance as a convenience to our customers; however, any shortages in shipping, handling or customs duty fees after merchandise has shipped will be charged to the customer's credit card or invoiced to the customer and collected by the carrier at time of delivery (C.O.D.). These fees are non-refundable in the event the merchandise is returned to The First Aid Zone for any reason.

Since customs policies vary widely from country to country, we urge our international customers to contact their local customs office for further information.

Returns, Exchanges & Replacements

You may return "new and unused" merchandise that has not been special ordered within 30 days of ship date as stated in our Returns section for a full refund of the purchase price, minus the shipping, handling, gift packaging, or other charges within 15 days of ship date.

If the returned merchandise involves layaway, the 25% deposit is not refundable. The returned merchandise must be accompanied by proof of purchase and the original copy of the warranty as well as all original documentation and packaging; otherwise, the return will not be honored.

You must obtain a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number from The First Aid Zone before returning merchandise. We will not accept any returned merchandise without an RMA number. Contact customer service to obtain an RMA number. "New and unused" means that there are no scratches, marks, or blemishes on the item; the security tags are still attached; and the item must not have been sized or altered in any way. We cannot accept a return of any item with any indication that it has been used.

For returning an item to The First Aid Zone:

Contact customer service to obtain an RMA number. The RMA number must be written on the original invoice.

Repack the product in its original packaging materials, including warranties. Ship your return prepaid and insured for the full purchase price by a carrier that offers package tracking such as United Parcel Service (UPS) or Federal Express to the address listed at the top of the invoice.

If you receive a damaged or incorrect item, contact customer service no later than 5 business days of receipt. On a case by case basis, we will cover shipping charges up to a maximum of $12.00 upon our receipt of the defective or mis-delivered item. If there is extensive damage to the carton, refuse the order and contact customer service immediately.

Repairs

While the incidence of defects in new items is extremely low, there may be occasions in which repair work becomes necessary (while the product is still under warranty). In most cases, any warranty repair work will be handled directly by The First Aid Zone on our premises. However, in some cases in which the manufacturer is the authorized service center, all repairs or replacements will be handled by the manufacturer. Please refer to the warranty card accompanying the product for details.

Damaged or Defective Items

If you receive a damaged or incorrect item, contact customer service no later than 5 business days of receipt. On a case by case basis, we will cover shipping charges up to a maximum of $12.00 upon our receipt of the defective or mis-delivered item which must be returned fully intact with the original packaging via common carrier that provides package tracking. If there is extensive damage to the carton, refuse the order and contact customer service immediately. Please have your order number available when you contact customer service.

Money Back Guarantee

We want you to be fully satisfied with every item that you purchase online from The First Aid Zone. If you are not satisfied with an item that you have purchased online, you may return the item for a full refund of the purchase price, minus the shipping, handling, or other charges, subject to the time period specific to that product and according to our Return/Exchange Instructions.

The item must be returned in new and unused condition, in the original boxes and with all paperwork (this includes warranties), parts and accessories to insure full credit. "New and unused" means that there are no scratches, marks, or blemishes on the item; there are no signs of wear on the product, the tags, or the case; if applicable, the clear plastic wrapping has not been torn or removed; and the product must not have been sized or altered in any way. We cannot accept a return of any item with any indication that it has been used.

All items properly returned under this policy are eligible for a refund or a store credit, at your option. If you choose a refund, the adjusted purchase price will be credited in the same form of payment used for the original purchase.

If your order is cancelled, you will receive an important notice regarding your order via e-mail which will explain the reason for the cancellation. You will not be billed for any cancelled items.

All shipping and handling costs in connection with warranty service are the responsibility of the customer. This warranty is valid only at The First Aid Zone. Improper repair or warranty service performed by someone other than The First Aid Zone will void this warranty.

THIS WARRANTY GIVES YOU SPECIFIC LEGAL RIGHTS, AND YOU MAY ALSO HAVE OTHER RIGHTS, WHICH VARY FROM JURISDICTION TO JURISDICTION.
