Shipping & Returns

Orders will typically be shipped within 1-3 business days of placement.

Canoes, Kayaks, Hard Paddle Boards, Ski’s, Snowboards and fuel are ineligible for shipping. If purchased online a member of staff will contact you within 2 business days to arrange In-store Pickup.

Shipping Fees

* Due to Canada being a vast nation with many remote communities, we reserve the right to refund orders or make alternative shipping arrangements in areas where shipping is prohibitively expensive. 

*Some orders may not qualify for free shipping due to size or weight constraints. In such cases, we reserve the right to refund the order or provide a shipping quote and an additional payment will be collected prior to shipment. 

**Rates are estimates. If an order’s shipping exceeds the shipping rate, the customer may be notified, and additional payment will be collected prior to shipment.

In-store Pickup

All purchased items must be picked up within 10 days. Customers will receive an email to confirm when the order is ready for pickup.  Most items will be available for pickup within 24 hours, though larger items may need to be transported on site.  Picture ID and order number will be required for all pickups.

For insurance purposes Sporting Intentions staff may not help load Canoes, Kayaks or Paddle Boards onto vehicles without an inspected Thule transportation system.

How We Ship Our Orders

We ship all orders through Purolator and Canada Post. Please provide a physical delivery address in addition to a PO box – this is to confirm whether Purolator is able to deliver to your location. If a PO Box is used as a shipping address, your order will ship via Canada Post.

Refund Turnaround Time

Returns by mail are received Monday-Friday, once we receive your return we will check that the product and the packaging are in original condition. We will then issue a refund. Once the refund is issued it can take up to 5 business days for it to appear on your credit card statement.
