The $20 refundable credit card hold is added to your order to account for any differences in price when we pick your order.
For example if you choose to allow the substitution of a product that costs $2 more than the original item, we will process the order and return $18 (20 - 2) to you.
Unfortunately, we are unable to accept gift card payments online. If you would like to use a gift card that was purchased in-store, please contact us for more information.

We will happily fill all reasonably-sized orders (big family? No problem!), but we reserve the right to refuse orders that are unreasonable in nature for a typical grocery store order (for example, more than a typical case size of an item). Our store is not set up for such deliveries and we want to avoid disappointing our customers by depleting inventory on a single order. If you process an order on the website that we're not prepared to deliver, our Customer Service team will contact you to discuss an acceptable alternative.
Orders
We always aim for make sure our customers love our products, so if you encounter any issues contact us and we'll take care of it!
You can order several units of the same item but please know that we will limit quantities of certain items at our discretion in order to ensure that other customers have the opportunity to purchase them.
Due to understaffing and order volume, we are unable to reach out to you on the morning that your items are picked. Allowing substitutions may help ensure most items are received.
You can include any notes with your order on the cart step under "Order Notes".
Please email thornhillorders@ambrosia.ca, or call 905-881-7811 x5
Please keep in mind that at this time, some items are difficult to keep in stock due to high demand or ongoing supplier shortages. If you are particularly in need of a certain item, please make an order note allowing for substitutions you are willing to accept.
You are able to make modifications to your order up until 12pm the day before your scheduled pickup or delivery. Visit My Account --> My Orders to make modifications. Keep in mind that making modifications to your order may result in you having to change your pickup or delivery timeslot, items that are not available may be removed, and items may reflect new pricing.
We only have a certain number of spaces per time slot, therefore we can not have more than one order per person, per time slot. If you need to make modification to your order, please go to "My Account" --> "My Orders> --> "Edit or Cancel." If we notice more than one order per time slot for the same customer, we will contact you by email and cancel one of them.
Some companies charge a $1 or $2 deposit on their glass bottles or jars as a recycling incentive. These bottles can be returned to the store for a refund. We are unable to accept returns for pickup or delivery at this time.
Sorry, but we are not currently able to fill bulk orders (such as more than 12 units of any one product) for pickup or delivery. To place a bulk order, please call (905)881-7811. All bulk orders must be picked up in-store.
Unfortunately not. Sometimes we are unable to add certain products for a number of reasons, such as the company requesting it, stock not being reliable, or sizes of items not being uniform.
