General Sales Policies

Additional policies may be put into place as we determine what is best for our business going forward. All policies are subject to change without notice, and with our sole discretion.

Price Match Policy

Mission: Fun & Games is happy to consider matching the advertised price of many of our Canadian competitors. Price matches can only be handled in-store at this time – due to limitations of our system, we are not able to offer price matching for online order customers at this time.

To request a price match, in-store customers can provide a link to the product at a local brick and mortar Canadian business. Eligible products must currently be in-stock, regularly priced, (we cannot match sale/clearance/liquidation pricing or products being sold below cost,) and listed in Canadian dollars.

All price match requests are reviewed on a case-by-case basis, and will be issued at the sole discretion of management and ownership. We reserve the right to decline a price match request for any reason, although we will do our best to find a fair and adequate compromise wherever possible.

Due to current tariff situations all TCG products will not be considered for Price Matching.

Please note that online only businesses such as Amazon, Ebay, Kijiji and other bid base / resale websites are excluded from this policy, as are Big Box stores such as Costco, Walmart, and Toys R Us.

Mission: Fun & Games is not responsible for any lost or stolen gift cards, or loss of credit due to lost/stolen cards. In the event of a loss, it may be possible with the original purchase receipt to locate the original card data and reissue if any remaining credit is available.

In-Store Pickup Order Policies

Order Fulfillment

We do not offer same day pickup for any online orders, including in-store pickup orders. Typically, orders will take 1-2 business days for processing, and you will receive a pickup notification email as soon as the order is ready for you. Any customer who arrives to pickup their order before the notification email is received will be informed that their order is not ready. Should a customer opt to purchase the product on the spot, their original order will still be fulfilled, and should the customer opt to cancel said order, normal cancellation/admin fees will apply.

If more than 2 days have passed and you have not received a notification after checking your junk/spam folders, please contact us via email or phone and we will be happy to investigate for you!

All pickup orders should be arranged by the purchaser to be collected within seven (7) business days of the initial notification that the order is ready for pickup. If an order is not picked up within the timeframe noted here, Mission: Fun & Games reserves the right to cancel such orders without further notice, and return the product to general inventory to be sold.

Online Order Policies

Pokemon Online Orders

Starting immediately we will no longer be allowing any Pokemon product to be ordered online. All sales will be in-store only. Existing orders will be fulfilled to the best of our abilities, and if we are unable to fulfill the order for any reason we will provide a full refund.

Shipping Policy

The majority of orders placed in our system are processed within 2-4 business days. You are automatically sent a tracking number once your order ships.

At this time, we do not offer a free shipping tier for orders. Our shipping costs are based on rates quoted by the delivery providers (Canada Post or FedEx) and are reliant on the size, weight, and quantity of ordered items. We also ship using Expedited rates since they are slightly faster and our volume grants us this premium at the same price as the slower regular shipping.

You can trust that your order will be quickly processed and delivered safely. We can ship products anywhere in the Canada and most of the United States using the shipping method of your choice. When you place an order we will estimate delivery dates based upon the availability of your item(s), shipping method selected and your shipment's destination. Our shipping charges are determined by the total dollar amount of your order, excluding applicable sales tax.

Some products cannot be shipped to international destinations, so please submit a message to us from the Contact Us page if you would like to discuss international ordering options.

Please note that Canada Post is not currently honouring any claims for parcel delays. If your parcel arrives outside of the expected delivery window, we will be unable to offer any reimbursement for shipping delays until Canada Post rescinds this policy.

Due to unpredictable stock allocations and tariff concerns we will not be shipping any TCG products.

Sales Tax

All orders shipped to an address within Canada will be charged provincial taxes appropriate to the destination to which the product is being shipped. Taxes will be charged on both the products purchased as well as shipping where appropriate.

Orders shipped internationally may be subject to additional taxes, customs duties, or fees as required, and may be billed directly to the purchaser. Boardgames.ca is not liable for any such fees as these are out of our control. Orders returned to us as a result of unpaid fees or import taxes may be subject to our order cancellation policy or return policy.

Oversized Orders, Special Circumstances

In certain extraneous cases, additional shipping charges may be required. In most situations, there will be an option on the product page (prior to adding the product to your cart,) to advise of such. In the event that this is not collected, you will be contacted in advance to arrange payment.

Additionally, in the rare circumstance that a product increases in cost to us from distribution, we reach out to you in order to pay an updated rate for the item. (For example, if an item’s cost to us increase so much that we are selling it at a loss).

If an item is not in stock and/or oversold when you order is placed, we will attempt to contact you to discuss the available options, which may include ordering a replacement in from our distributor(s) or cancelling, refunding or substituting the appropriate item from your order.

In the event that we not receive response from a customer within five (5) business days of our initial attempt to contact about the order problem(s), the entire order will be cancelled and money refunded minus a $5 administration fee to help cover labour and payment processing costs.

This pertains to – however is not limited to - “buyouts” and other orders involving the sale of high demand products. We will contact you in advance of fulfilling your order to advise.

Damage Claims

While orders are packed carefully to ensure the integrity of product upon arrival at it’s destination, we understand that issues can occur. Due to circumstances beyond our control, damage to products can occur during the shipping process.

Should an order arrive at its destination damaged (see Definition of Damage below for exclusions,) due to no fault of the recipient, we ask that you email us so that we can work to make it right. Please note that the following do NOT qualify for damage claims:

  • Orders shipped internationally (outside of Canada)

Suspect orders may be subject to additional verification prior to shipping. This may include – but not limited to - verification of the buyers name, address, and phone number, and IP address location verification with the issuing bank of the credit card used.

In the event of major discrepancies during the verification process, orders will be cancelled immediately.

At our discretion we may also include a Card for Pickup or Signature option for higher valued orders. This acts as insurance/seller protection and also prevents the theft of orders left on doorsteps.
