Does Black Maple offer wholesale?

We do offer wholesale if you would like to buy in bulk. Sign up for account on our WHOLESALE WEBSITE

Are your products ACTUALLY made in Canada?

We print, sew, design, ship and much much more right out of our Montreal office. Some of our items such as blank ceramic mugs are sourced from out-of-country because either Canada is not producing blanks or the price is well beyond our profit margin.

We do however have a Made in Canada collection that features 100% made and decorated in Canada products. CLICK HERE!

Are the "Licensed Products" officially licensed or are you lying to me?

Our Official Licensed products, specifically anything CBC and Hockey Night in Canada are all designed/curated by us and approved for sale. Also, we proudly pay licensing fees on every licensed item sale, which goes towards supporting these wonderful and iconically Canadian entities.

Please, don't just take our word for it, check out CBC's Official Online Shop

We will notify you once we’ve received and inspected your return, and let you know if the refund was approved or not. If approved, you’ll be automatically refunded on your original payment method. Please remember it can take some time for your bank or credit card company to process and post the refund too.

I received the wrong item. How will Black Maple fix this!?

Please inspect your order upon reception and contact us immediately if the item is defective, damaged or if you receive the wrong item, so that we can evaluate the issue and make things right as soon as possible.

Please bare with us if we don't always reply the moment you've contacted us.
