Private Warehouse
Store your items, wait for other orders to arrive, and combine them when you're ready to ship.
How does the Private Warehouse work?
Private Warehouse lets you hold eligible items with us and combine them with other orders later, which can help you save on shipping.
For in-stock orders: Select the Private Warehouse option at checkout. Your items will be stored instead of shipped right away.
For pre-orders and backorders: Your items are placed in your Private Warehouse when they arrive. We will send you an Arrival Notice email with an Arrival Invoice so you can choose whether to ship the item, pick it up, or keep it in your Private Warehouse.
While your items are being stored, you can wait for other pre-orders or backorders to arrive, or add more in-stock items to your Private Warehouse.
Why does Private Warehouse show “FREE” at checkout?
The FREE amount shown with the Private Warehouse option means that you are not paying a shipping fee at checkout because the order is being stored instead of shipped right away.
It does not mean future shipping is free. Shipping charges will apply when you decide to have your Private Warehouse items shipped.
What happens when my pre-order or backorder arrives?
When your item arrives at our warehouse, we will send you an Arrival Notice email with an Arrival Invoice.
Please complete the Arrival Invoice to pay any remaining balance, if needed, and choose what you would like to do with the item.
Shipping: Have the item shipped to you.
In-Store Pickup: Have the item prepared for pickup at our Vancouver Renfrew store.
Private Warehouse: Keep the item stored and combine it with other items later.
Please complete the Arrival Invoice even if your order was already paid in full and there is nothing else to pay. We still need to know what you would like to do with the item.
How much free storage do I get?
Your free storage period depends on your membership tier:
Free Storage
60 Daysper item
Free Storage
90 Daysper item
After the free storage period ends, a storage fee will apply until the item is shipped, picked up, or otherwise removed from your Private Warehouse.
When does my free storage period start?
Your free storage period begins when the item is added to your Private Warehouse and we send you the Arrival Notice email.
Storage is tracked separately for each item, so items that arrive at different times will have different storage start dates.
What happens after the free storage period?
After your free storage period ends, a fee of $2 CAD per item, per month applies.
Storage fees are calculated separately for each item.
You can avoid additional storage fees by arranging shipping or pickup before your free storage period ends.
Can I combine items from different orders?
Yes. That's one of the main benefits of Private Warehouse.
You can wait for other pre-orders or backorders to arrive, or place another in-stock order and send those items to your Private Warehouse as well.
When you're ready, your available Private Warehouse items can be combined into one shipment whenever possible.
Very large orders may still need to be sent in more than one shipment if everything cannot safely fit into a single package.
How do I ship items from my Private Warehouse?
When you're ready to ship your Private Warehouse items, open your most recent Arrival Notice email and complete the Arrival Invoice.
Select Shipping and complete the payment to have your available Private Warehouse items shipped.
You can also find your Arrival Invoice from your account page if you no longer have the email.
For international shipments, select Shipping on the Arrival Invoice first. We will then calculate the international shipping cost separately and send you a shipping invoice.
Can I pick up items from my Private Warehouse?
Yes. When you're ready to pick up your Private Warehouse items, open your most recent Arrival Notice email and complete the Arrival Invoice.
Select In-Store Pickup to have your available Private Warehouse items prepared for pickup at our Vancouver Renfrew store.
You can also find your Arrival Invoice from your account page if you no longer have the email.
Once your pickup request has been prepared, we will send you a pickup-ready email.
Please wait for the pickup-ready email before coming to the store.
How long can I keep items in my Private Warehouse?
Items can remain in your Private Warehouse for up to six months.
If an item remains in storage for more than six months, we may cancel it.
Pre-Orders with a 20% Deposit: The deposit will be kept as the cancellation fee.
Paid-in-Full Pre-Orders: An amount equal to 20% of the regular item price will be kept as the cancellation fee, and the rest will be refunded.
Backorders: A 20% cancellation fee applies.
In-Stock Items: If an item is cancelled after exceeding the six-month storage limit, any storage fees already owed will be deducted from the refund.
To avoid cancellation or additional storage fees, we recommend arranging shipping or pickup before the six-month storage limit.
