Shipping Policy

1. Our Commitment to Reliable Logistics

At Hardware District, we recognize that the safe and timely arrival of your premium outdoor furniture and storage solutions is a critical part of your experience. We partner with specialized freight carriers and logistics experts to ensure that your items are handled with the utmost care from our warehouse to your doorstep. This policy outlines our procedures to provide transparency regarding timelines, costs, and delivery expectations.

2. Service Areas and Availability

We currently provide shipping services to select residential and commercial areas across Canada. Availability is determined by our network of logistics partners and the specific nature of the goods being transported (such as oversized garden sheds or heavy-duty garage storage units). To verify if delivery is available to your specific location, please enter your postal code during the checkout process or contact our support team for a custom shipping quote.

3. Shipping Costs and Calculation

Shipping costs are calculated dynamically at the time of checkout. These rates are based on several factors, including:

• The total weight and dimensions of the shipment.
• The distance between our distribution centers and the final delivery address.
• Any specialized handling requirements for oversized or fragile items.

We strive to keep shipping rates competitive while ensuring that your products are transported securely.

4. Estimated Delivery Timelines

Estimated delivery windows are provided on each individual product page to give you a clear expectation of when your order might arrive. Please note the following regarding these timelines:

• Processing Time: Orders typically require a processing period for quality inspection and secure packaging before leaving our facility.
• Transit Time: Once dispatched, transit times vary based on the destination. Urban centers such as Vancouver, Calgary, and Toronto typically experience shorter transit windows.
• No Guarantee of Exact Dates: While we make every effort to meet these estimates, Hardware District cannot guarantee specific delivery dates or times due to variables such as carrier schedules, weather conditions, and seasonal volume.

5. Delivery Process and Requirements

For large-scale items, such as galvanized steel sheds or triple garbage bin storage, our carriers typically provide "Curbside Delivery." This means the driver will offload the shipment at the curb or the end of your driveway. Please ensure the following:

• The delivery site must be accessible for a large freight truck.
• A responsible adult (18+) should be present to receive and sign for the shipment.
• Upon arrival, please inspect the external packaging for any signs of transit damage before signing the delivery receipt.

6. Order Tracking and Communication

Once your order has been dispatched from our warehouse, you will receive an automated shipping confirmation email containing your tracking information. This allows you to monitor the progress of your shipment in real-time. Our logistics partners may also contact you via phone or email to coordinate a specific delivery window for larger freight items.

7. Showroom Pickup Options

As an alternative to traditional shipping, we offer local pickup options for customers near our physical locations. You may choose to collect your order directly from our showrooms in Vancouver, Calgary, or Toronto. Selecting the pickup option during checkout can eliminate shipping costs and allow you to inspect your items immediately upon receipt.
