Pre-order FAQ

Our suppliers offer a wide range of products, and we may not always have everything in their catalogue.  As such, we are now offering pre-orders for our valued customers.

Here is how it works:

1) Place your order for a "pre-order" product.  These are identified by this button:

2) We import the stock on your behalf on our next purchase order from the supplier.  We typically order once or twice per week.
3) As soon as the stock arrives, we ship it  to you.  For pickup orders, we will let you know when your entire order is available.  

In this way, our customers are able to save on import duties and taxes!

Our typical pre-order lead-times are as follows.  These are lead-times for the product to get to our Toronto warehouse, the shipping time varies depending on where you are in Canada and the service that you select.

Adafruit	Up to 20 business days, generally much faster
Raspberry Pi boards	2 to 3 business days
SparkFun	3 to 7 business days
Pimoroni	7 to 10 business days
Arduino-branded products	Varies quite a bit

 

If an item from Adafruit or SparkFun is not available for pre-order, this is likely because Adafruit or SparkFun are out of stock on that item.  

If you have any questions, just drop us an email.

Please note!  Pre-order items are non cancellable / non returnable except in the case of damaged or non-functional parts.
