Greetings, Canadian friends! Bust out your best table settings and chinaware because Victoria Day is just around the corner (to our French friends, this means National Patriots' Day, which ironically has nothing to do with Tom Brady). This also means that our Canadian Distribution Centre will be closed on May 20th & 21st and deliveries will be delayed. Have questions? Email gec@lululemon.com.

Greetings, American friends! On Memorial Day weekend, some things go quickly (like the Indy 500) while other things are a little slower (like getting up in the morning and the US Postal Service). Please be advised that our US Distribution Centre is closed on May 27th and 28th and some deliveries will be delayed. Have questions? Email gec@lululemon.com.

*important note regarding bright colours.*

In our quest to colour your world, it’s important for us to acknowledge that you may experience colour transfer with some of our brightly coloured gear. It depends on the PH level of your sweat and the kind of laundry-love you give it. Find out how best to care for your brights.

If you have any further questions, please reach out to our Guest Education Centre toll free at 1.877.263.9300 or via Live Chat.

ORDERING AND PAYMENT

can I change or cancel my order?

If you're having second thoughts about your online order and wish to cancel it, please call our Guest Education Centre at 1.877.263.9300. An educator will be able to help you with the cancellation. We can't make changes to an order once it has been placed.

what are my payment options?

We accept Visa, MasterCard, American Express, PayPal and gift cards (you can purchase gift cards in stores and online). In the US, we also accept Discover and JCB cards. Please note: for orders shipping to Indonesia, we only accept PayPal and American Express; we do not accept credit card gift cards; we cannot split payments between credit cards.

will my credit card be charged immediately?

No. A pre-authorization will be placed on your credit card that will identify and tag the money for your order. Your credit card will not be charged until your order is shipped. We'll send you an email to let you know when this happens.

what currency is the site in?

Prices on the Canadian site are in Canadian dollars. All dollar amounts on the US/Int'l website are presented in US currency. If you are ordering with a Canadian credit card on the US/Int'l website, the charges to your credit card will reflect the current exchange rate from CAD to USD. Additionally, your bank may charge you an additional international transaction fee for these orders. For more information, please check with the bank that issued your credit card.

what about international taxes and duties?

We are not able to supply an estimated cost because duties and taxes vary by country and by what was ordered. Contact the customs office in the destination country for information about any applicable duties or taxes. We are required by law to disclose the full value of the package contents and cannot alter this value. If an order is placed on www.lululemon.com and then refused, you will be responsible for the original shipping costs, as well as any duties, taxes and/or customs charges that were incurred in shipping the package. If you have any shipping questions, please contact the Guest Education Centre at 1.604.215.9300.

how can I ship internationally?

Orders placed on the Canadian website can only be shipped within Canada.

Please note: for international guests the billing and shipping address needs to be the same.

No. We do not ship to P.O. boxes outside of Canada and the US. Currently we don't ship to APO/FPO addresses.

On the next page, click on the 'view order' button for the shipment you want to return. When the invoice page opens, click on the 'return or exchange items' link. Fill out the forms and print the final page (you'll need to include this in with returns along with your original packing slip). Send your returns to the lululemon address shown on the return form you printed.

Yes. Underwear, swim suits, headwear, water bottles, gift cards and items from 'we made too much' are final sale. If an item has been moved to the 'we made too much' section during the two week return window, you won't be able to do an online return.

FINDING OUT ABOUT OUR GEAR

does lululemon offer a catalogue?

No. At lululemon, we update our styles and colours weekly. You can sign up for our online store's email to keep up with the latest gear as it comes out on the site.

can you tell me when new products and events are announced?

Sure! Sign up for sign up for our online store's email to be the first to know. Or find your local store to sign up and find out about complimentary yoga, events and the moment new gear hits the floor.

are the products on the website the same as in the stores?

Yes. Although our website may have a different assortment than a store in your area, the products are the same. To find a store in your area, check out our store finder.

why are products available on the Canadian site but not on the US site and vice versa?

In order to serve our guests better, we have two warehouses ─ one in Canada and one in the US. The advantage of this is that guests don't pay customs duties (we don't cross-border ship). The disadvantage is that the warehouses sell out at different rates so one site may still have items that have sold out on the other.

are there other places on the internet to buy lululemon?

No. The site you're on now is the only authorized and official place on the internet for lululemon shopping.

do you carry clothing for children?

Yes! We created ivivva athletica for girls aged 4 to 14, based on feedback from younger guests at lululemon. The ivivva team works with dancers, gymnasts, ice skaters and athletes to create the technical garments they need to perform at the gym, studio, ice rink and on the field. All ivivva products are made with the same technical, wicking fabrics used by lululemon. Visit ivivva.com to order products online and find your nearest ivivva location.
