General Website Questions

How much will shipping cost?

Our shopping cart system can calculate shipping costs to most places in the world if you simply enter your address. You can choose from Canada Post, UPS or Fedex shipping. This shipping amount is clearly shown before any payment information is requested and you may cancel the order if you are not happy about the cost. Note - we can not calculate and quote shipping costs over the phone. For large weight orders please email your shipping address and products required to our Internet Sales office to get a shipping price quote.

How long will it take to ship an order to me?

We can generally process orders within 7 business days. However we are in the surplus business which means products can sell out very quickly. Sometimes we are able to locate more stock and sometimes not.Click here for Canada Post & UPS shipping time info.

Can I place an order for pick up?

You sure can. Just select the pick up option when checking out and your order will be made available for pick up at our store (directions). Our Internet Sales staff process orders Monday to Friday 9 AM to 5 PM. When your pick up order has had the stock picked and the paperwork has been processed then the Internet Sales staff will contact you (usually through email) to let you know that you can come in the store to pick up your order. Once your order is ready for pick up you can come in to our retail store to pick it up anytime our retail store is open (store business hours). Just let our cashiers at our front counter know you have an online order ready for pick up and one of the managers will retrieve your order. For security reasons we require that you show a piece of photo ID so that we can be sure that it is you (and not someone else) picking up the order.

Do you accept Visa or MasterCard debit?

You can pay using Visa or Mastercard debit if you select the PayPal payment option (not the Payflow option).

Do you ship C.O.D.?

No, we do not ship C.O.D.

Why was my credit card not accepted by the Payflow or PayPal payment system?

To protect our customers and ourselves from credit card fraud on the internet, we use the AVS (address verification system) to match credit card numbers and security codes with customers. In order for PayPal and Payflow to confirm that you are the authorized credit card owner the address you provide must EXACTLY match your credit card billing address.

If you find that your credit card is being rejected by Payflow you may choose to pay as a PayPal guest. As a PayPal guest you may use Visa, Mastercard, Discover or American Express.

We appreciate your help in stopping those crazy hackers with stolen credit cards and promoting safe internet shopping.

Do you accept purchase orders?

No, we do not accept purchase orders. We accept only VISA, Mastercard, PayPal and International Money Orders as payment.

I don't have a credit card, can I still place an order?

Who is responsible if my annoying government charges me taxes or duties?

Nobody likes taxes and government fees. However you are obliged as a citizen of your country to pay charges imposed by your government. Note that it is illegal for us to ship your purchase as a gift.

I tried checking out using Payflow and my country got changed to Burkina Faso?

Honestly we do not know where Burkina Faso is. We are still trying to investigate why this happens with certain users. We would appreciate it if you can contact our webmaster and provide the browser and operating system and what medication you were using at the time this happened. If you are not sure what browser you are using you can use this website to tell you which browser your using.

In certain cases we have found that if you go back to step 1 of the checkout process this will solve the problem. Otherwise we recommend that you use the more reliable PayPal option. You do not need a PayPal account to use the PayPal option.
