CALCULATING DELIVERY TIME

Delivery Time = Warehouse Handling Time + Shipping Time

Warehouse Handling Time refers to the amount of time it will take for your order to leave our warehouse.

Shipping Time is the amount of time it will take your order to arrive once it has left our warehouse.

The shipping method selected during Checkout will determine the time it will take your order to arrive after it has left our warehouse.
Example: The item you ordered takes 1-3 full business days to leave our warehouse. During checkout, you select "Express Shipping." It will take approximately 3 to 7 full business days for the item to arrive.

Please note that business days are Monday to Friday, excluding statutory holidays.

You can use your order number to check the status of your order here.

Hand it to me: Selecting this option ensures that your high-value order will be delivered directly into your hands. For added security, the carrier will require that someone is present and available at the delivery location to receive the package and provide a signature (as needed). This option is recommended for high-value orders and orders being delivered to areas with a high risk of porch piracy. If you aren’t present/available to receive the delivery, your order will be returned to the store and it will be available for you to pick up for 3 days. After 3 days, your order will be cancelled and the order amount will be refunded (excluding the Same-day delivery fees).

Leave it at door: Selecting this option instructs the carrier to conduct a contactless delivery by leaving your order at the doorstep or in the lobby/reception area of the delivery address. While this option offers convenience, it increases the risk of theft and damage to your order. We recommend selecting this option only if you are confident in the security of your delivery location and are willing to accept responsibility for any potential order loss or damage. 

Please contact 1-866-SHOP-CTR (1-866-746-7287)* for assistance. Please note that the store and carrier should not be contacted in this case as an investigation is required.
