E-commerce

Why should I select a preferred store? 

Choosing your preferred store helps you find a nearby location that has the products you want to order. Selecting a store is required to place an order. The chosen store for pick-up or delivery will handle and complete your order. You can update your preferred location anytime to suit your needs.

Do I need to create an account to order online? 

You don’t need to create an account to place an order online. Simply choose the "Order as guest" option.

However, having an account allows you to access your preferences and address book anytime. You can also view the status and history of your online orders exclusively through your account.

What is the difference between "ordering with an account" and "ordering as a guest" when ordering online?

Creating an account on the Familiprix website allows you to personalize your online experience and seamlessly use our mobile apps. Your profile, including basic information, preferences, and addresses, is securely saved, making future transactions faster and easier.

Orders placed with a Familiprix account are stored in your purchase history, allowing you to access them quickly whenever needed.

If you choose the "Order as guest" option, you'll need to manually complete the checkout form for each transaction, won't earn Familiplus points on your orders, and won't have access to your purchase history.

What if some or all of the products in my order are no longer in stock at my store?

If the items in your order are not in stock at your selected store, you have two options:

  1. “Find another nearby store”: We'll locate a nearby store that has your desired products available and arrange a quick pick-up for you.
  2. “Choose home delivery”: Our pharmacies can quickly restock and deliver your order directly to your home.

Can I order from a store other than my usual one?

You can have your order delivered or picked up at any store that currently offers online ordering. In the store selector, you can designate any of these stores as your preferred store.

I cannot select my usual store with "Find a preferred store.” Why not? 

Your preferred store doesn't currently offer online ordering, but we're adding new stores every week. Stay tuned! In the meantime, feel free to ask your pharmacist during your next in-store visit.

Is delivery free? 

Delivery is free on orders of $65 or more for Familiplus members and $85 or more for guests. If the value of your cart is below these amounts, delivery charges will be calculated at checkout.

What is the in-store pick-up option? 

Enjoy a simple and time-saving service by ordering online and picking up your order free of charge at your chosen Familiprix store. If your selected store doesn't have the products you want in stock, you can opt for home delivery or let us recommend another nearby store.

Do all stores offer in-store pick-up? 

Pick-up service is available at all participating online stores.

What products are eligible for in-store pick-up? 

All products on the transactional website are eligible for in-store pick-up.

Can I change the store where I want to pick up my order while I'm making my purchase?

How do I change the status of my order from delivery to in-store pick-up? 

Once your order has been submitted, we cannot change its status. Please ensure all details are correct before finalizing your purchase.

What do I do if I want a refund for my online order?
