Cold-Weather & Temperature Advisory 

Because we are based in Ottawa, Canada, many orders travel through sub-zero temperatures between November and March. Natural products like extra virgin olive oil and honey may react to temperature changes in ways that are normal, expected, and not considered damage or defect.

The following are normal and NOT eligible for refund or replacement:

  • Olive oil that becomes cloudy, thick, solid, or waxy due to cold temperatures
  • Olive oil that appears crystallized or grainy
  • Bottles where the cork or cap appears slightly raised or loose due to freezing/expansion, as long as the seal is intact and no leakage occurred
  • Natural sediment, harvest variation, or colour differences
  • Honey that has crystallized or thickened

These changes are temporary and fully reverse:

Simply allow the product to sit at room temperature for 24 hours and it will return to normal consistency, clarity, and flavour.

These conditions are not considered “damaged” or “defective” under this policy.

Order Cancellations

Every order placed with Ilias and Sons is prepared promptly to maintain freshness and small-batch quality. Because of this, we are unable to accommodate cancellations due to:

  • Change of mind
  • Finding a lower price
  • Purchasing from another supplier

These requests fall outside our satisfaction guarantee.

If a discretionary cancellation is approved prior to shipment:

  • A 10% administrative and restocking fee will apply
  • All payment-processing fees (credit card, PayPal, etc.) will be deducted

Once an order has shipped, all sales are final.

This policy ensures fairness to all customers and supports the sustainability of our small-batch operations.

Subscriptions

Subscription purchases are covered under this policy; however, all subscriptions activated with an introductory or discounted first order require a minimum three-order commitment.

If a cancellation is requested before the three-order minimum is reached:

  • The difference between the subscription discount and retail price will be charged
  • A 10% administrative and processing fee will apply

Alternatively, customers may continue their subscription for the remaining term to retain discounts and benefits.

Once a subscription order has shipped, all sales are final.

Important Terms and Conditions

  • Refunds are processed to the original payment method within 5–7 business days after approval
  • Store credit does not expire
  • Shipping charges are non-refundable unless the error was ours
  • All refund/return requests must be made within 7 days of delivery
