plum+ is Indigo's annual paid membership, currently priced at CAD $39 per year.

Most items purchased at indigo.ca can be returned within 30 days of the shipping date with proof of purchase, either by mail via Canada Post or at any Indigo, Chapters, or Coles location across Canada.

Certain products are final sale, including items marked as such on the product page. Indigo's "Guaranteed Great Reads" policy allows items identified as Heather's Picks, Staff Picks of the Month, or Indigo's Best Books of the Year to be returned at any time and in any condition for a full refund or exchange with proof of purchase. For full details, visit Indigo's official returns page.
Amazon Canada is a go-to option if you like getting everything in one place, from books and electronics to kitchen essentials and groceries. Prime members get free shipping on eligible orders and early access to deals during Prime Day in July, which makes it a strong alternative when you want Indigo's book selection alongside a much wider general catalogue. Make it a habit to check for Amazon Canada offers. It’s the easiest way to get more savings at checkout.
Etsy is a good fit for shoppers who lean toward Indigo's gift and home decor side rather than its books, particularly for personalised, handmade, or one-of-a-kind items that a mass retailer typically does not carry. Many sellers ship from within Canada, which can mean shorter delivery times and lower shipping costs than ordering from an international seller. Keep your unique finds budget-friendly by hitting GrabOn Canada for Etsy discount codes before placing your order to see what savings are currently available.
Indigo Books & Music was founded in 1996 and is headquartered in Toronto, Ontario. It operates as Canada's largest book retailer, with over 200 stores trading under the Indigo, Chapters, Coles, and Indigospirit banners across the country. In addition to books, Indigo stocks toys, games, puzzles, home decor, gifts, and baby products both in-store and online at indigo.ca. The company also owns Kobo, an eBook and e-reader platform available to Canadian and international readers.

Indigo ships to addresses across Canada, including Quebec. Some remote postal codes, including certain addresses in Yukon, Nunavut, and the Northwest Territories, are not eligible for free shipping, though paid shipping may still be available. You can verify whether your postal code qualifies for free shipping by entering your address at checkout before completing your order.
Plum is free to join for Canadian residents aged 16 and over. You earn 5 points for every dollar spent on eligible purchases at Indigo, Chapters, Coles, and indigo.ca. Once you reach 2,500 points, you can redeem them for CAD $5 off a purchase. Points cannot be earned on eBooks, electronics, LEGO, or gift cards.
At CAD $39 per year, plum+ pays for itself if you shop at Indigo more than a few times annually. The 10% discount on eligible purchases and free standard shipping on every order are the two core benefits. A single mid-sized order of CAD $150 or more in a year would typically recover the membership cost through the 10% saving alone.
Yes. Indigo runs one of Canada's most consistent Boxing Day sales, with discounts of up to 60% across books, toys, home decor, games, and clearance items. plum+ members receive an additional 10% off on top of sale pricing. The sale typically begins on December 26 and runs through Boxing Week into early January. Check Indigo's Canadian site or GrabOn Canada for the current year's offers as the date approaches.
Indigo CA does not have a direct discount for students. But if you have an SPC membership, then you can get access to occasional promotional events at Indigo.

Drop the parcel at any Canada Post outlet; return shipping is free. Most items are eligible for a full refund within 30 days of the shipping date with proof of purchase.
