Payments are accepted using credit cards drawn on Canadian or American financial institutions.
Credit cards are accepted online during the encrypted secure checkout process, or verbally by phone to one of our sales experts.
Please ensure your billing address matches exactly as it appears on your monthly statement for faster processing.
Packages are shipped only to addresses registered on the credit card. Talk with your financial institution about registering an alternate address, or adding a one-time special authorization or note on your account in which you have to provide the name of our company.
Payments using credit cards drawn on non-Canadian or non-American financial institutions are not accepted. The billing/shipping information cannot be verified. We apologize for this inconvenience.
In these cases, paying by Western Union, or Interac e-Transfer is recommended.
These measures are put in place for the protection of the cardholder and ourselves.
Third party credit card payments are not accepted. Only the bearer of the credit card may place an order using their card.
Interac® is accepted for in-store pickup.
Interac® e-Transfers can be used for any order.
Your financial institution may have a maximum dollar limit for e-Transfers. You may split up e-Transfers to work around any limits.
