Who we are
We are Revival Queen Bees. Our website address is: http://revivalqueenbees.com/.
Queen Bees
SHIPPING INFORMATION
Revival queens are shipped in JZBZ cages with 4 attendants. Normally, we ship via Canada Post Xpresspost. However, we are monitoring COVID-related shipping issues and will asses what carrier to use closer to the shipping date. Customers will be contacted regarding any changes, and we will advise whether there are better options available. If applicable, customers will have the option to upgrade their shipping service but they will need to cover the additional cost of doing so. Once we ship the queen you will be emailed a tracking number. If you do not receive a tracking number from us by Wednesday of your requested week please email us at info@RevivalQueenBees.com.
A signature will be required for the queen delivery. Queens are shipped at the buyer’s cost and risk. You will be prompted to input your address during the checkout process.
Customs FEES
An additional customs and tax fee can occur on queen orders delivered to an address outside Canada. This fee is not in our control and is assessed by your local customs office. Customs policies vary widely for every country so please check with your local customs office directly to see if they apply duties and taxes to your purchases.
Queen Guarantee
Revival queens are guaranteed to be alive at the time of shipping. To the best of our knowledge, these queens will be in good health. Once the queens leave our care we cannot guarantee their acceptance into your hive, their performance, or their health. Due to many factors that influence queen health and introduction success, including unforeseen complications during shipping or individual beekeeping practices, we do not guarantee our queens or provide refunds once the queens have left our care. Queens cannot be exchanged. Please read our blog post for more information on how you can increase the likelihood that your queen will be successfully introduced into your hive.
Queen order cancellations
If you cancel your queen order and your queen(s) has not yet shipped, your payment will be refunded, minus a deposit fee of $10 per queen. A refund will not be provided if your queen(s) have already shipped. To cancel your order please email us at info@RevivalQueenBees.com.
*Note: if you are concerned about COVID-related shipping delays and are considering cancelling your order please contact us ASAP to discuss available options*
orders that are unable to be delivered
We will not be held responsible if your package is refused, unclaimed from the post office, or undeliverable because you input the wrong name or address when you placed your order. Please remember to check your address carefully when you place your order.
failure to supply your queens during the week you requested
In the unlikely event that we are unable to deliver your order on your requested week, we will contact you to arrange an alternative date. If you are not satisfied with the date change we will refund 100% of your payment, including any shipping fees you may have paid.
Merchandise
SHIPPING INFORMATION
Estimated shipping times for your area will be calculated and displayed during checkout. Generally you could use the following formula to determine how long it will take to receive your merchandise: shipping time + fulfilment time = estimated delivery time. However, due to delays related to COVD-19 we are not able to guarantee merchandise arrival dates. Fulfilment times reflect the amount of time it takes for your item to be custom printed and packaged. Fulfilment times are 2-7 business days for apparel and 2-5 days business for non-apparel items. For example, if you ordered an apparel item and your estimated shipping time was calculated to be 2-5 business days, your estimated delivery time would be 4-12 business days.
All shipments will be given a tracking number, which will be sent to you via email once your package is shipped. If 7 business days have passed and you still have not received your tracking number, please email us at info@RevivalQueenBees.com and we’ll look into it right away.
Customs Fees
An additional customs and tax fee can occur on merchandise orders. This fee is not in our control and is assessed by your local customs office. Customs policies vary widely for every country so please check with your local customs office directly to see if they apply duties and taxes to your purchases.
SEPARATE PACKAGES
If your package seems to be missing items, don’t worry! We sometimes ship orders in multiple/separate packages. If 7 business days have passed and you haven’t received the remainder of your items feel free to contact us at info@RevivalQueenBees.com.
ORDER CANCELLATIONS
We will not be able to cancel your order once it has begun to be processed. Typically, this means that if you do not email us within 2 hours of placing an order, there is a high chance that we will not be able to cancel it.
ORDERS THAT ARE NOT ABLE TO BE DELIVERED
We will not be held responsible if your package is refused, unclaimed from the post office, or undeliverable because you input the wrong name or address when you placed your order. Please remember to check your address carefully when you place your order.
Pro tip: package theft is on the rise – if you’re expecting a home delivery and you know you won’t be home to accept it, use an address where you know you’ll be.
REFUNDS
Our items are custom printed for you, so they only qualify for a refund if the product itself is flawed (i.e., if the product is damaged or is not what you ordered).
To qualify for a refund you must email info@RevivalQueenBees.com within 14 days of the delivery date. Please use the subject line “REFUND REQUESTED”, and include photos of your product, a copy of your purchase receipt, and your reason for requesting a refund.
If your refund request is approved you will be refunded the total purchase price of the order. If your order only contained the flawed item, you will also be refunded the shipping fee. If your order contained additional items, you will not be refunded the shipping fee.
EXCHANGES – IF YOUR PRODUCT DOESN’T FIT
Our items are custom printed for you, so you can only exchange an item once. If you would like to exchange your item for a different size you must notify us within 14 days of the delivery date. Please email info@RevivalQueenBees.com and use the subject line “EXCHANGE REQUESTED”. Include photos of your item, a copy of the purchase receipt, and a description of what you want to exchange.
To qualify for an exchange, your item must be unworn, unused, and unwashed. It must also be in the original packaging and accompanied by a purchase receipt.
We can only accept apparel exchanges for a different size, in the exact same style and color that you originally ordered. Some items, such as pillows, blankets, phone cases, hats, backpacks, and totes are not eligible for exchange.
You will be responsible for paying for your own shipping costs for returning your item. Shipping costs are non-refundable. Please contact us to obtain the return shipping address.
EXCHANGE OF SALE ITEMS
Items that are on sale do not qualify for an exchange.
HONEY

Honey cannot be returned or exchanged once it is purchased. All sales are final.
