Here are the answers to some of our most common customer questions. If you do not see the answer to your question below, feel free to email your question here, or call us at 1-877-492-8732 or 1-519-322-4885.

How can I be sure that shopping on-line at this site is safe?
Thesportsden.ca uses SSL Technology (Secure Sockets Layer) to process credit card transactions. We use industry standard encryption technologies when transferring and receiving data that you exchange with our site. This same industry standard SSL Technology is used by major banks and stock brokerage firms. This encryption procedure "scrambles" the information you send to us and makes online transactions extremely safe. Despite what you have heard, it is not simple to "hack" to intercept your personal information and decode it. Billions of dollars are spent via the web every day.

How do I know if the page is secured or not?
There are two ways to see the security at work on this site. The first way to tell if a page is secured is in the address bar. As you will notice some pages start with the letters http:// - these are non secured pages that are only showing general information. Secured pages show https:// in the address bar; these pages are encrypted to provide the utmost in security. Thesportsden.ca uses secured pages on any page that requires you to enter sensitive personal information, ensuring your information is secured. The second way to know if you are on a secured page is by looking at the top of your browser. Secured pages will show a lock, letting you know that the web page you are on is secure.

Do you have a sizing chart?
Yes, we have a sizing chart available here, all measurements are approximates and are to be used as guidelines. Items being produced by different manufactures in different countries will make the garments fluctuate slightly in size.

How do you ship?
Currently thesportsden.ca ships with Canada Post and UPS courier service.

Do you ship overseas?
Yes we do ship overseas but, all overseas orders must complete payment by bank transfers, western union, etc. Credit card payment is not accepted for overseas orders. If the customer wishes to arrange for their own overseas shipping, they will be required to pay the shipper directly.

Can my "ship to" address be different than my "bill to" address?
Yes, but please be aware that for security purposes your billing address must match that on file with your credit card company.

What methods of payments are accepted?
We accept Visa and MasterCard for phone, email, and fax orders. Sorry, no CODs or personal cheques.

What currency will I be charged in?
We are a Canadian company and so by law have to invoice in Canadian funds. U.S. orders will be billed in Canadian funds, with the purchase price being converted back to U.S. funds by the credit card company. This amount will vary depending on the exchange rate of the credit card company.

What about sales tax and duty?
Orders shipped to areas outside of Canada are NOT subject to Canadian tax. It is the customer's responsibility to pay any customs, duties or taxes for any goods shipped to an international address. Any shipping charges for packages returned as a result of a customer's failure to pay customs, duties and taxes will be billed to that customer.

The amount of tax charged on Canadian orders depends on many factors, including the destination of the shipment and the type of item purchased. All items shipped to destinations in Canada are subject to Canadian Goods and Services Tax ("GST") at 5%. In addition, the following Provincial Sales Tax ("PST") or Harmonized Sales Tax ("HST") might apply, depending on the item and the destination of the shipment:
• Nova Scotia: HST at 15% (including GST portion)
• New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Ontario: HST at 13% (including GST portion)
• British Columbia: HST at 12% (including GST portion)
If you purchase an item and have it shipped to a province other than the ones listed above, you might be required to self-assess PST and remit the amount in accordance with the applicable law of that province.

When is my credit card charged?
All orders are processed immediately however, we will not charge your credit card until the order is ready to be shipped (excluding jersey customizing and special orders). We do not believe you should have to pay ahead of time for a product that is not ready to be delivered.

When will my order ship?
We will e-mail back within 24-48 hours, confirming in-stock items and explaining your total charges for all online orders. In-stock orders ship the next business day after you receive your confirmation. Please keep in mind that sometimes our suppliers run out and some items may need to be special ordered which may require a delay of a few days or even weeks before we are able to ship. We appreciate your patience, and will fill your order as soon as we get the stock. In the meantime, we will e-mail you to let you know and give you an approximate arrival date. If you prefer not to wait for a delayed item, we will happily cancel your order and refund the full purchase amount on your credit card.

Can I cancel my order?
If the order has not yet shipped, we can change or cancel your order if you notify us. If it is a special order or a custom jersey and the process has started on these items then the order can’t be cancelled. Please review your order carefully during checkout to make sure it is accurate. If you need assistance feel free to contact us.

Are the items shipped identical to the pictures shown online?
We have made every effort to display products exactly as they will look when you receive them, but in some cases the manufacturer will update their graphics on a particular item and the graphics may differ slightly to what we have sent you.

What about packages lost in shipping?
Due to the high level of fraud, our shipping policy is once an order leaves our warehouse, the shipper (Canada Post, UPS) becomes the responsible party. If your shipment is lost or damaged, we will file all paperwork necessary to start an investigation with the shipping company. We will make every effort to recover your loss for you. A replacement or refund will not be given until the investigation is complete and a claim has been issued and paid.

That has got to be a pricing error or misprint?
We take extra effort to ensure that our pricing and product information is accurate and up to date, but sometimes errors occur. In the event of an error in product price, availability, description or other material detail, thesportsden.ca reserves the right to cancel any order placed, limit quantities or substitute a substantially similar product. Prices are subject to change without notice and are limited to stock on hand.

How can I get on your mailing list?
We are committed to building a loyal customer base and have created a mailing list to keep our customers’ informed of upcoming promotions, special offers, new products, and new website features. To join, click on NEWSLETTER at the top of the screen and enter your name and e-mail address. If you’ve ordered from us before you will already be on the list. You may choose to be removed from this list at any time. Your information will be kept by thesportsden.ca and not sold or given to any other companies.

Do you mail catalogues?
Thesportsden.ca does not offer a print catalogue. We want to have as little negative impact on the planet as possible. Most products we sell are available for review on this website. We do offer more products not listed on our website at our store, but due to shipping reasons we don’t offer them on our website. We can keep up to date accuracy on our website, unlike print catalogues that can be out of date before they are even mailed to customers.

What do I do about damaged packages?
If your package is damaged in any way, call 1-877-492-8732, 1-519-322-4885, or e-mail immediately after you receive it and tell us about it. Do not return the package without contacting us first and hang on to all the packaging materials as these may be required in satisfying any claim with the carrier.
