We offer a curbside pickup area in the parking stalls under the overhang in the alley. We also have a walk up door under the blue Electra awning. Please follow the directions on the sign, we will need your full name and which stall you are located. The system we use is text-based only and does not read the subject line on iPhones. Please have your ID ready and if possible your trunk open for us to put your order into your car. If the signs are not out, please call (403) 288-5422 ext 236, and we can bring you your items.

Please note that these stalls are for fully paid online orders or work order pickup with $0 balance owing.

Backorders

If an item you want to purchase is temporarily out of stock, you may still be able to backorder it. This allows you to reserve the next available stock, so when we receive it, we ship it to you. Backordered item(s) usually ship within four to five weeks – we'll send you an email when your order is on its way.

If an item you want to purchase hasn't yet arrived in stores you can pre-order it. Items available for pre-order should ship within four to five weeks but this time frame can vary widely based on the item and vendor.


Returns and Refunds

Parts, Accessories, and Clothing – We offer a 30 day return policy. If you're not happy with your purchase, you can return it for a refund. To be eligible for a full refund, your item must be returned unused and in the same condition that you received it in, along with the original packaging and the receipt. Once we receive the product back and have inspected it we will provide a refund. Items returned without the original packaging are subject to a 20% restocking fee. Returns based on customer error are subject to shipping charges.

All special orders are subject to a minimum 25% restocking fee.
