PRODUCTS AND PRICING
Q: What THRIVE products will be available?
A: Most of the THRIVE products sold in the US will be available through NFR. Dairy and Meat product won’t be available when we start.
Q: How much Shelf Reliance product can I purchase at a time?
A: Shelf Reliance will be functioning as a NFR company in Canada, which means that customers will only be able to order a maximum of 30 cans per order.
Q: Can I mix #10 and pantry cans in a single order A: Yes
Q: Is there a limit to the number of individual products I can have in each order?
A: Yes, once we begin offering dairy and meats, you will be limited to one can of these items per shipment.
Q: Is there a limit on the number of cans for my host benefit order?
A: No, this is considered a benefit rather than a personal purchase. There is no limit at this time. However, orders with product over 30 cans will need to be faxed into the company for processing.
Q: What THRIVE, FRS, and emergency products will be available through Shelf Reliance Canada?
A: At this time THRIVE will be available in #10 cans and pantry cans. Unfortunately, at this time FRS and emergency products will not be available through Shelf Reliance Canada. The reason for this is the extremely high duties and taxes assessed for these products.
Q: How can I find out what products are available?
A: Available products will be recorded on the Canada price list which you can find in your back office.
Q: How will the Shelf Reliance products be labeled?
A: All Shelf Reliance products will be labeled based on US regulations.
Q: Will Canadian pricing be the same as US pricing?
A: Yes. All pricing will remain the same and will be in US dollars.
Q: Is Home Party pricing the lowest pricing in Canada?
A: Yes. If you ever come across a retailer selling the product at a lower price, you are able to match it. You will just need to send a fax to the home office to process that order. However, this should not happen because retailers have a set price higher than the home party pricing.

SHIPPING, RETURNS, AND BACKORDERS
Q: How will I receive my Shelf Reliance order?
A: Various shipping companies may be used depending on where you live.
Q: What if I am unsatisfied with my purchase?
A: We strive to ensure that all of our customers are pleased with their purchase. If you are unsatisfied with any Shelf Reliance product purchased in Canada, you may return the product within thirty days from the date of purchase to our home office. You are responsible for the shipping fees to return the product.
Q: What if the products I ordered are on back order?
A: The process for back orders in Canada will remain the same as in the United States. Back ordered items will be shipped to you as soon as the products are in stock.* You will not be required to pay any additional shipping fees for back ordered items.
*If you have more than one item on back order, the back ordered items will not be sent until all back ordered items have arrived.
Q: Will I be charged additional duties or taxes?
A: Shelf Reliance does not control the rates assessed at the border. There is always a chance that you will be charged additional taxes and duties, especially if you purchase multiples of the same item in a package. Local sales tax will be charged at the time of purchase if applicable.
Q: Can we ship product to border towns and bring product across the border on our own?
A: No, this is against our company policy. This will cause termination of your consultant opportunity because of the risk it puts our company in.
