Policies

International Customers

We are capable of shipping products all over the world. For orders placed online, over the phone, or via fax, we can only accept credit card payment for orders shipping to Canada or the Continental United States, Alaska, or Hawaii.

For shipments to locations outside of Canada and the US, payment must be via Money Order in Canadian or US funds (subject to currency exchange rates and fees).

Price Matching

Either before making a purchase, or up to twenty-one days after a purchase, any regular advertised price will be matched with the following conditions:

  • Item must be identical. Same manufacturer, same model number, same type or generation, same accessories or bonus items.
  • Item must be in stock at an authorized branded Canadian dealer, and must be at regular price.
  • Item may not be priced on a time-limited, restricted quantity, liquidation, or clear out basis.
  • For in-store pick up at Atlas Machinery, and for orders shipped within Southern Ontario, item must be available from a local competitor (within 50km of customer) or the price of next-day shipping will be added to the competitor's advertised price.

If the request is made during purchase the price will be adjusted at the cash register. If the match is requested up to twenty-one days after the purchase, the difference will be refunded in the form of payment originally used, or a store credit will be issued.

We reserve the right to revise this policy at any time without prior notice.

Warranty

Virtually all of our tools carry a manufacturer's warranty. For power tools and machinery, the warranty is typically 1 year against manufacturer's defects, and covers the cost of parts and labour. Hand tools, cutting tools, tool accessories, etc. vary by manufacturer. Please contact us for warranty info on specific products.

Ultimately, we strive for customer satisfaction and are happy to deal with warranty/service issues in a fair and reasonable manner.

Returns

Our return policy varies by manufacturer and tool type. Most power tool companies have a 30 day over-the-counter return policy, which we follow. This is not always the case and other tools are subject to different rules. Please contact us for specific info on returns

All costs associated with returning the product from the customer to Atlas Machinery Supply as well as any manufacturer's restocking fees shall be covered by the customer.

Shipping and delivery

Shipping

When you order online, you will be quoted a shipping cost estimation via UPS, our standard courier. See the online ordering info page for further info.

We typically ship orders weighing under 150lbs via UPS prepaid (the shipping charge is included on your bill), or we can use Canada Post in certain circumstances.

We can also ship orders on your account with FedEx, Purolator, DHL and CanPar.

Orders over 150lbs must be shipped via frieght. Please contact us for further information/rate quotes.

Delivery

Atlas Machinery can deliver large orders (typically heavy machinery or many power tools) within the city of Toronto during, before, or after business hours. Please contact us for further information, rates and restrictions.

Full payment must be received before an order will be delivered.

For orders purchased over the internet for delivery, the credit card used to make the purchase must be present when the order is dropped off or else the order will not be released (no exceptions).

In-Store pick up

Customers may place an order online, over the phone, or via fax which will be pulled from inventory and set aside for pick up.

  • For smaller orders (5 products or less, and under $200 before taxes) of products which are in stock at our downtown store, the order will be pulled and held for three business days. No deposit or credit card will be required. If the order is not picked up after three days, the order will be placed back into inventory.
     
  • For larger orders (over 5 products, or over $200 before taxes) of products which are in stock at our downtown store, a credit card number and billing information will be required as a commitment. The card will not be charged. The order will be held for three business days. If the order is not picked up in three business days, the items will be placed back into inventory.
     
  • For large items which must be brought from our warehouse, an appointment must be made over the phone to specify a date on which the item will be made available at our Queen Street location. As per above, a credit card number will be required as a commitment.
     
  • For special order items, a 25% non-refundable deposit will be charged to the credit card to cover restocking/shipping fees should the customer decide not to purchase the item after it has been ordered.
Once the order has been placed, the customer will be e-mailed or called to confirm the order's availability. The customer may pick up the order only after we have been in contact and confirmed that the order is ready for pick up.

NOTE: If required, the credit card used to make the order must be present when the items are picked-up or else the order will not be released under any circumstances (no exceptions!).

While the deposit will likely be made via credit card, any type of payment (see below) may be used to pay for the order upon pick up (either the remaining 75% of the original order, or the credit card will be refunded and 100% payment may be made in another form).
