In-Store & curbside pick-up

What is In-store pick-up?

Take advantage of our free in-store pick-up service for the ultimate in safety and convenience! Simply buy online as usual, checkout, then select the Pickup In Store option. You’ll receive an order confirmation email right away while we prepare your order. Once your order is ready, you’ll receive a “Ready For Pick Up” email letting you know it’s time to pick up your order from your selected store.

To give you even more freedom of choice, you also have the option to “split” your order. What this means is you may choose to ship some items to your home and pick up other items you’ve selected in store. Please note that as of now, only the person who placed the order may pick up the order.

Are there additional fees for in-store pick-up?

Good news, there are no additional fees for this great service!

Can I ship to different store locations?

Unfortunately, you can only select one store at a time for in-store pick-up at the present time.

What is curbside pick up?

Curbside pick up is a safe and easy option to pick up your order without ever having to leave your car! After receiving your order confirmation email, you’ll receive your “Ready for Pick Up” email alerting you that your order is ready, simply proceed to the selected location and call the store to let them know you’re here for your curbside pick up. An available sales associate will then bring your order to your car. If for some unforeseen reason no associates are available to assist you, you will be advised to pick up your order inside the store as usual. Unfortunately, requested or scheduled pick-up times are not available as turn around to prepare your order will vary from store to store.

At what times will my curbside order be available for pick up?

Good news! Your curbside pick up order will be available 30 minutes prior to store opening until 6:00 PM unless business hours end earlier, weather permitting.

What is the difference between in-store pick-up and curbside pick up?

Good Question! Allow us to introduce these two great new services we’re now offering.

  • An in-store pick-up order is an order purchased online and then collected by you inside the store of your choosing.
  • Our curbside pick up option offers the convenience of never leaving your vehicle to receive your goods! With curbside pick up orders, a sales associate will meet you at the designated pick up area with your order in hand instead of you collecting it inside the store!

Pricing

When viewing an item, the price will be displayed to the right of the image. If an item has multiple colours available, they will all be displayed on the same page. The pricing of an item can change depending on the colour selected. In some cases, only certain colours will be part of a promotion while others will be at the original price.

On our website, the pricing for any specific colour will always be displayed above the colour swatch. The colour swatches for regular priced colours are shown on the first line. Once a colour has been marked down, we then display it on a separate line below the main heading. When selecting a colour, the prices displayed will NOT change, only the image will.

For example, in the image below the Black is at the regular price of $50.00, while the Patriot Blue below is reduced to $14.00.

In the event where only some of the colours are on sale, we must show that item in the Sale section, but we will demonstrate the different colour swatches with their appropriate prices. At times, the header will show the price range as well.

Gift Cards

What is a gift card?

A gift card is a pre-paid, re-loadable cash card that you can use to pay for merchandise online or at any of our locations across Canada.

What is the difference between an e-gift card and a plastic gift card?

E-gift cards are digital gift cards that are emailed directly to the gift recipient immediately or on a given date. Plastic gift cards are mailed to the recipient (shipping takes 4-9 business days), both can be used online or in stores.

Where can I get a gift card?

Visit one of our stores to purchase a plastic gift card or go online to purchase either a plastic gift card or an e-gift card.

Is there a gift card purchase minimum?

We offer different denominations ($25, $50, etc.) for our plastic/e-gift cards. You can also specify a different amount, if the amount you want on the card is not one we already offer. Purchases of gift cards online require a minimum amount of $5.00 and cannot exceed $1,000.

Do I have to pay shipping for my gift card?

No, there is no shipping fee to receive a plastic or e-gift card.

Standard shipping delivery usually takes between 4-9 business days for plastic gift cards. Alternately, you may opt for Express Shipping, with shipments delivered within 2-3 business days and tracking included for the rate of $15.99, before taxes.

E-gift cards will be emailed or sent via text message immediately or on the delivery date selected.

I have a gift card, but it says it’s only valid in-store. Can I use this online?

Only gift cards with a PIN can be redeemed online. If your card does not have a PIN, it can still be used in store.

My gift card doesn’t cover the entire cost of the item I want. Can I pay the rest of the amount with my credit card?

Yes! You can use gift cards or a credit card to complete your purchase. Currently, you can use up to five gift cards to complete a purchase. PayPal payment cannot be combined with other form of payments.

I’m having issues trying to buy a plastic gift card or an e-gift card online. Who can help me?

If you are experiencing issues with completing your gift card purchase, or have not received delivery of a gift card purchased, please call 1-888-205-5801 or email : rclgiftcards@buyatab.com for assistance.

I received a plastic/e-gift card as a gift, but I don’t want it. Can I return it?

All sales of plastic or e-gift cards are final.

What happens if I return an item purchased with a gift card?

You will be refunded with an e-gift card and you will receive a separate email with the e-gift card details. Please retain this email, as you will need the information to purchase online, or bring the email in-store to make an in-store purchase. If you paid for your purchase using both a credit card and a gift card, a portion of your refund may be applied back to your credit card.

Redeeming a gift card

Redeeming a gift card is easy! Just shop and check out as you normally would. During checkout, you can enter your gift card number into the gift card entry fields during the checkout process. You will need to enter both the gift card number and the 4-digit PIN located on the back of your gift card. When you click the "Apply" button, you will get a confirmation message indicating that the gift card has been applied to your order.

You may apply a maximum of 5 gift cards per order.

Checking the balance on a gift card

The balance on your gift card can be checked anytime at any of our store locations. No purchase is necessary to check your balance.

For gift cards with a PIN, you may now also verify your balance online here.

How do I report a lost or stolen gift card?

If your gift card has been registered and is lost or stolen, please call our Customer Service Centre immediately. You will need to provide your card number and answer questions concerning recent activity on your account. Upon verification and location of the receipt of purchase, we can freeze and transfer your remaining balance to another card. At all times, please treat your card like cash.

How do I find the item I’m looking for?
We've designed the Penningtons.com website with the intention of making it as simple to find what you're looking for as possible. Of course, no two people shop the same way, so here's what to do if you can't find what you're looking for:
