Orders & Pricing

HOBBIES+BEYOND will do everything we can to fill your orders quickly. We will endeavor to have your order leave our warehouse within 2 business days of receiving your order (weekends excluded). Our associates will inform you if an item is out of stock or back ordered, and will provide you with an ETA (or if you’re in a hurry with a viable substitution for the item you’re looking for). Items with extended lead times or special handling needs are noted in the product detail screens and will usually be shipped separately. We will always call you if there is an issue with promptly fulfilling your order.

All prices are quoted in Canadian currency and are subject to change without notice. We strive to keep our prices in effect as long as possible, but occasionally we experience significant price increases from our suppliers. Our policy is to try and absorb such price increases but with shifting exchange rates this is not always possible. Your customer service representative will be happy to discuss and verify the current prices of products with you. While we take every effort to prevent errors, mistakes do happen, and we reserve the right to correct any errors found without notice.

Price Matching & Price Protection

HOBBIES+BEYOND will match any Canadian competitor’s sale price, and will match and beat any regular price by 5% (Must be identical item, with verifiable current pricing. Matched price will factor in any shipping/delivery costs if from online). We will price protect within 2 weeks, with receipt (if an item goes on sale within 2 weeks of purchase, we will give the customer the discounted price).
