Shipping Policies
We continue to ship all in-stock orders received before noon Pacific. Some suppliers are experiencing supply chain issues, so some products may be unavailable without an estimated arrival date. We will contact you if there is an issue with your order.
Shipping Policy
We are proud to offer same-day shipping on all in-stock orders that have been paid for* before 12 PM Pacific time. Orders are shipped by Purolator, UPS and Canada Post. Oversized orders ship by truck freight. Router bits ship by Express Envelope and usually arrive the next business day depending on locale.
All orders require a signature for delivery unless otherwise requested. If you request that no signature be required, Ultimate Tools is not liable for any damage or lost product.
*Payment through Affirm typically take an extra 2-3 days to process.

Damaged Orders
We take care packaging your order, but unfortunately, shipping damage can occur. In the event of an order arriving damaged, please take a picture of the damaged packaging and contact us immediately.
We will provide you with the appropriate direction to resolve the issue. You must report any damage or missing pieces immediately on receiving or else we cannot be responsible for any damage.
Picking Up an Order
If placing and order for pick-up, we will contact you when it is ready. When picking up your order, you will sign the pick-up slip acknowledging that the products listed have been received in good condition. You are responsible for securing product in your vehicle.
All pick-up orders are subject to a 30 day pick-up period from time of fulfillment. You will be notified when your order is ready for pick-up and periodically during the 30 day period. If you fail to pick-up your order within the allotted 30 day period you will be charged a 25% restocking fee and the remainder of your total purchase will be refunded back to you. If you require additional time past the 30 day pick-up period contact us.
Pre-Orders
We offer customers the option to pre-purchase items that we have on backorder or make special orders for items we do not normally have in stock. These items will be labelled as such and, when available, will have accompanying estimates for their arrival at Ultimate Tools.
If you make an order containing pre-order items, your entire order will be held until all items arrive. If you wish for in-stock items to be shipped immediately, please order these items in a separate order.
Special Orders
We offer some items to be ordered for you on request. If no delivery estimate is provided on the product page and you wish for further details, please reach out to speak to someone either via phone at 866-971-9663 or e-mail at sales@ultimatetools.ca and a sales rep can clarify the turn around time to help you make an informed decision.
Please note that Special Order items are not eligible for cancellation or return as these items are ordered specially for you and not normally kept in stock.
