We are a very small team here at Fia Fia, and we unfortunately don't have the capacity to run the shop during the day while answering phone calls. However, we are very quick & responsive over email, and are happy to help you with whatever you need!
Yes, our store is completely wheelchair accessible!
We are within a short walking distance from bus stops along Routes #8, #7A, and #7B (Robie Street), as well as #2 and #3 (North Street).
There is plenty of parking in and round Richmond Yards, including an overground lot in the courtyard for free 1-hour parking, an underground lot (entrance off of St Albans street) for $2/hour, as well as lots of 2-hour free street parking on the side streets around the complex.
Check out our parking map below!
We try an create a calm and inspiring space for our customers, with warm lighting and low-key music at a comfortable volume. If you feel you need the lights or the music turned down, please don't hesitate to ask. We are more than happy to accommodate!
We do not have a public washroom in our shop.

If you're not happy with your order, you can return it to us for a refund or exchange. The order must be posted by trackable mail within 7 days of receiving it. Unfortunately, because we are a small business, we do expect the customer to pay for the return shipping costs. Once we receive the order, we'll fulfill the refund or exchange. Learn more here.
If you don't have your emailed or printed receipt, we may be able to find your purchase in our system based on the purchase date or item. Online orders should always have a virtual trail, as you'll get sent multiple confirmation emails.
