We will call or email you once your order is ready for pickup. 

If you need an item right away, please call us to confirm that the product is available before heading over to our store. Unless special arrangements are made in advance, orders need to be picked up within 30 days or a 10% restocking fee will be charged.

Taxes

If an order is shipped to the following provinces or territories, Ascent Cycle must collect the applicable taxes. Canadian taxes are not collected on orders shipped outside of Canada. However, orders shipped outside of Canada are subject to import duties, taxes, and customs processing fees, which are levied once the package reaches its destination. These fees are collected by the carrier or brokerage company and customers are responsible for paying them. The Bike Shop is unable to give estimates for these fees.

Shipping Restrictions

Shipping restrictions may apply to certain products and destinations. These restrictions include regional distribution agreements, hazardous or over-sized products, and complexity in exporting some items.

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.

Information Security

We protect the security of your information during transmission by using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software, which encrypts all of the information you provide to us and prevents outside parties from being able to "see" your transaction information. When your account information is displayed on your screen, we only display the last five digits of your credit card numbers. You also have the choice of whether or not to save credit card information with us in your Online Account.

We sometimes use other companies (third-party service providers) to perform functions on our behalf. Examples include fulfilling orders and delivering packages. They need access to some personal information in order to perform their duties but may not use this information for other purposes.
