Frequently Asked Questions

Where can I buy Epicure seasonings in Canada? 

You're in the right place. I'm an Edmonton-based authorized reseller of Epicure seasonings and meal solutions, shipping across Canada. I carry both the relaunched Epicure lineup and the legacy and discontinued products that are nearly impossible to find anywhere else — all in one shop, so you don't have to hunt through marketplace listings or hope a private seller is legit. If you're looking for a specific Epicure product you can't find anywhere else, there's a good chance I have it or can track it down for you.

What's the difference between legacy and relaunched Epicure products?

Epicure as a company went through bankruptcy, and many beloved products were discontinued. The company has since relaunched (sometimes called Epicure 2.0), bringing back some of the original lineup with the same formulations. The legacy products are the original versions — the ones longtime Epicure fans remember and still ask for. I carry the relaunched lineup too. All of them are genuine, new, sealed, and ready to ship. If you want the original version of a favourite, check the legacy collection — and if it's out of stock, sign up for a back-in-stock notification and I'll let you know the moment it returns.

What brands do you carry?

I carry a curated selection of Canadian-made, clean-eating brands: Epicure (legacy, discontinued, and relaunched), A Spice Affair, Tilly's Galley, The Spice Age and the Vancouver Sea Salt Company. Each brand complements the others, so you can stock your pantry with dips, rubs, seasonings, broths, baking mixes, and more — all from producers who share a commitment to gluten-free, clean-label ingredients.

Are your products gluten-free, vegan, kosher, or halal?

Most of the products I carry meet one or more of these dietary lifestyles. Epicure and A Spice Affair both hold corporate certifications for vegan, gluten-free, kosher, and halal where applicable. Each product page lists which certifications apply, so you can shop with confidence. If you have a specific allergen concern, reach out through my contact page and I'll help you find the right products.

Are all your products new and sealed? 

Yes — every product I sell is new, unopened, and sealed. I don't sell opened, expired, or used inventory. This is one of the things that sets me apart from private sellers on marketplace platforms, where it can be hard to verify what you're actually getting.

Where do you get your products?

As of September 2026, my inventory of Epicure products consists largely of product from the Epicure liquidation sales or the auction of Epicure products held following the 2025 bankruptcy. I also buy Epicure product from retail liquidators and from Epicure directly as an affiliate. A Spice Affair products are bought directly from that Montreal-based company, for which I am not an affiliate, and from retail liquidators.

How quickly do you ship?

Between October 15 and April 30 my goal is to ship within 24 hours of completed payment, weather permitting (I live in central Alberta). Between May 1 and October 14, which is RV season, I ship weekly, no later than Friday, all orders for which payment has been received. Orders are shipped expedited via Canada Post and UPS, depending on your location and the most economical rate available, with insurance and tracking included. Please remember, this isn't Amazon. You're dealing with an independently owned and operated small business.

What shipping methods do you use?

Orders are shipped Expedited Parcel via Canada Post and UPS, depending upon your location and the most economical rate available. Insurance and tracking is included with these options. If you are buying only one packet (no jars), a Canada Post Lettermail option may also be available at a cost of less than $10.

Do you offer local pickup?

Absolutely, and most orders are ready for pickup within 4 hours. You will receive an email when your order is ready, with the exact address for pickup in Greenfield, near Southgate Mall in Edmonton. Select the local pickup option at checkout and I'll take care of the rest.

Where is my order?

You will have received an email confirming the shipment of your order with a tracking number. If you can no longer find that email, use the Contact form or the Chat function and provide me with details of your order and I will send you the information.

Do you ship to the USA?

Regrettably, no. Shipping to the USA by an individual such as myself is prohibited by the FDA, and as a result no carriers will accept shipments of food products for delivery in the States. However, if you are in the USA and want to buy direct from Epicure, you can access my affiliate website via the Buy Direct from Epicure button on specific product pages, and then toggle the flag button from Canada to the US. Your order will ship direct to you from Epicure's US warehouse.

I want to order something that is out of stock. When will it be available?

First, make sure you hit that Notify When Available button on the product page. You will receive an email once that product is again available to buy. Be aware, though, that some popular items sell out as soon as they are relisted and notifications are sent out. You can also pre-order some Epicure and A Spice Affair products that go out of stock. I prioritize restocks based on how many people have requested a product, so signing up genuinely helps me decide what to look for next.

What is your Refund/Return policy?

Due to the nature of the products, returns are not possible. If, however, any product is found to be unsatisfactory I will gladly and quickly process a refund for the value of that product.

Do you replace broken jars?

I make every effort to ensure that products sold in jars are wrapped to prevent breakage and label outgoing parcels as Fragile. Shipments are insured with the carrier. If you experience a situation where jars arrive broken, please send me a photo of the shipping label and the broken product so that I can process a claim and refund your purchase. I will provide store credit for the item until such time as the carrier processes a successful claim. At that point, if you wish to receive a refund instead of store credit, I will process a refund instead.

Do the Epicure gluten-free baking products have to rest after mixing, before baking?

The company has stated in the past that, while most gluten free baking products require a resting stage after mixing of up to 30 minutes or more, their products do not require this resting stage, with the exception of the Pancake & Waffle Mix, for which a rest period following mixing of 30 minutes is suggested.

What is the shelf life of spice and herb blends?

Spice blends are shelf stable for as much as three years, and longer in some cases. All herbs and spices and blends should be stored in a cool, dry place to ensure the best quality. All products are stored in a light- and humidity-controlled location.

How does your Stamps loyalty program work?

Every order you place earns stamps through my loyalty program. It's my way of saying thank you to the home cooks who keep coming back — because most of my customers are repeat customers, and I want it to feel worth your while to shop here rather than somewhere that treats you like a one-time transaction. You can read the details about how to earn and how to redeem Stamps on this page.
