Drop Ships, Special Orders, & Pre-Orders

If your purchase contains a drop shipped product, your entire order will be held until we receive confirmation of the drop ship.  If your purchase contains a special order or pre-ordered item, your entire order will be held until it can ship complete.

For security reasons, drop shipped deliveries require a signature upon receipt, no exceptions (even if requested).  Large speaker orders are shipped via Purolator regardless of which option is selected at checkout.

Local Pickup (Nepean, ON)

Turnover time is the same as listed above.  Orders for in-stock items placed before 12pm noon EST will be ready for pickup the same business day by 2pm.  All orders for in-stock items are guaranteed to be ready for pickup within one business day.  Your will receive a confirmation email when your order is "Awaiting Customer Pickup at Next Gen."  Orders containing drops ships, special orders, and pre-orders will not be available for pickup until all products are available.  Please bring a copy of your receipt or proof of ID (matching that on your order) when you pick up your order. You will be required to sign for your package.

If you do not have an Ottawa address, the option will not show up.  In that case, just use our address as the shipping address on your order and you will be able to select the pickup option at checkout.

PLEASE NOTE: We are primarily a distributor selling to other businesses.  While we do sell to the public through our online store, we are not a retailer and do not have not have a storefront, in-person sales staff, extended business hours, or any method of processing payments in person. If you would rather place an order in person at a physical location, we recommend contacting your favourite local dealer and suggesting they get a wholesale account with us.  Then you can place your orders through them.  We may have a retail showroom of our own someday, but are still a few years away from that being a possibility.

Shipping - In Canada

• FREE provincial ground shipping via Canada Post Expedited Parcel for orders over $149 (some restrictions apply)
• For security reasons, drop shipped deliveries require a signature upon receipt, no exceptions (even if requested).  Large speaker orders of drop shipped speakers are shipped via Purolator regardless of which option is selected at checkout.
• For orders under $149, you can choose from the following shipping options (see average transit times below):
• Canada Post (Expedited Parcel) - The most economical parcel shipping option available to us.  Includes tracking and insurance.
• Canada Post (Xpresspost) - Express service to anywhere in Canada.  Includes tracking and insurance.
• UPS - Slower than Canada Post and more expensive.  But, a necessary alternative for some customers.  Includes tracking and insurance.
• All orders are shipped as parcels.  We cannot place products in envelopes and ship them as regular mail.  Shipping fees are calculated by the carrier and are are based on destination, package size, and weight.  If you find the shipping costs excessive, there is nothing we can do about it.  We have no control over what they charge.  In fact, in many cases our system undercharges for the shipping costs, so you are most likely already receiving a shipping discount.  As is the case when ordering online from anywhere, we suggest planning your orders accordingly to get the best value out of the shipping cost.
• You will be "carded" if no one is home to receive the delivery.  We do not allow deliveries to be dropped off when no one is home, even if requested.  This is to ensure shipping insurance remains valid and guarantees secure delivery.
• Average transit times for Expedited Parcel and/or UPS (cut these in half if shipping via Xpresspost):
• British Columbia (4-6 business days)
• Alberta (3-6 business days)
• Saskatchewan (3-5 business days)
• Manitoba (2-5 business days)
• Ontario & Quebec (1-4 business days)
• New Brunswick (2-5 business days)
• Nova Scotia & PEI (3-5 business days)
• Newfoundland (4-6 business days)
• Territories (4-10 business days)

Shipping - International

We are happy to ship orders to customers outside of Canada, but our current platform is incapable of properly calculating international shipping fees.  You'll need to contact us to process your order manually.
