Shipping Policy

Average Turnover Time

Most orders placed before noon EST will ship the same business day. Most other orders ship the next business day. Products requiring extra processing have turnover times listed on each individual product page. Orders containing those products will be processed/shipped when those products are ready. Tracking information is always provided with your shipping confirmation e-mail, unless you choose a shipping option with no tracking provided.

PLEASE NOTE: These are NOT guaranteed Saturday to Monday, Tuesdays following holidays, during or after promotional events (like Black Friday, Boxing Week, etc.), or during short-staffed periods (which can happen unexpectedly due to government health regulations). Orders placed during those times will be processed/shipped in up to 3 business days. Thank you for your understanding!

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 Orders (Nepean, ON)

Our warehouse is open for curbside pickup only. No in-person customer service is available. Contact us if you need anything more than just an order pickup.

You can place your order in advance online or over the phone and have it ready for pickup within the turnover times listed above. Sorry, we do not allow people to skip ahead in the processing line just because they are local. All orders are processed in the order that they are received.

Orders containing drops ships, special orders, and pre-orders will not be available for pickup until all products are available.

You will be notified when your order is "Ready For Pickup." 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 pickup option will not show up at checkout. 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. However, you still need to enter your correct billing address or your credit card will be rejected.
