Shipping Options & Rates

Where do we Ship To?

We ship to all provinces in Canada. Some remote locations may require additional shipping charges.

What are your shipping options and shipping rates?

At Toys "R" Us, we try to offer you the least expensive shipping rates. To achieve this goal, we have obtained the services of these shipping carriers (Purolator Courier, Purolator Freight and Canada Post). When you place items in your shopping cart and place the order, it calculates the shipping cost based on the table below.

Our Shipping Methods include the following:

• Regular Shipping - Order arrives 3-5 business days after it has shipped. *Please note regular shipping for rural areas and postal offices is 7-10 business days after it has shipped.
• Express Shipping - Order arrives 1-2 business days after it has shipped.

Our Shipping Rates are calculated as follows:

Ground Shipping Rates

Metro - refers to city/urban locations with high population and are easily reached by all carrier providers.

Rural - refers to smaller towns/municipalities that are not as accessible by all carrier providers and may require delivery via Canada Post or a local carrier.

Remote locations - refers to locations that are very remote and will require special arrangements for delivery.

Delivery Time

The delivery time for your order depends on the shipping method you select. We offer several different shipping methods. The choices available depend on:

• The item(s) purchased
• The in-stock availability of the product
• The destination address

Each shipping method has its own restrictions and charges that will be applied to your order, and are based upon a simple calculation of order processing time and actual shipping time in business days. Please note that business days are Monday through Friday, excluding Federal holidays in Canada.

Oversized items may incur a delay in shipping as there will be special delivery requirements. This delay will be noted in the tracking details of your order.

Please note we cannot ship larger items to a PO Box number. If we are unable to complete the delivery of your order to the address provided, we will contact you within 48 hours of placing this order to verify the shipping information.

Calculating Your Delivery Date: Pre-Order Items

Pre-Order items are available for purchase on the Toys "R" Us and Babies "R" Us website in advance of the manufacturer's general public release date. Pre-Order items are shipped directly to you once the stated release date arrives and you will be notified of your order status via email. You will not be charged for any item until it is shipped to you. Your order will ship within 1-2 business days after the release date. Release dates may vary based on the manufacturer.

How can I tell if an item is Available?

If an item is available on our site, you will see a green "Add Item to Cart" box on the right hand side of the product detail page. You should also note the "Availability" section, just above the "Product Detail" section. You will be able to see if the item is "In-Stock", and how long it takes to leave the warehouse should you choose to purchase it.

If you do not see the green "Add Item to Cart" box, the item is temporarily out of stock and cannot be ordered at that time. The "Availability" section will also be hidden. You do have the option however to add an out of stock item to your Baby Registry or Wish List!

If you have a question about an item's availability, please call our Customer Service Group at 1-800-TOYSRUS (1-800-869-7787). An online specialist can assist you with your questions and can even place a phone order for you!

If you are not at home the carrier will leave an "Attempted Delivery" notice to let you know that they will try again, or that the package is available for pick-up at your local depot.
