I WANT TO KNOW ABOUT THE STATUS OF AN ORDER I HAVE PLACED
How do I view the status of my order?
For the easiest and fastest way to get the most current information about your order, check the status of your order by visiting our Order Tracking page. Please note that order information may not appear on SportChek.ca in your Order History for up to 1 hour after the order has been submitted.
When you click on "Order Tracking," you will be prompted to log in with your email address and password. Once you have logged in, the Order History page will provide you with detailed information about your current and past orders. After your order has been shipped, your tracking number, if available, will be displayed. This number allows you to check the shipping status of your order through the shipping company. Shipping companies may not have the ability to track a number for up to 48 hours.
After your order has been shipped, your tracking number, if available, will be displayed. You can click on the tracking number to check the shipping status of your order through the shipping company. Please note that a shipping company may not have the ability to track a number for up to 48 hours.
How do I track the location of my order?
The tracking status of your order is easy to find:
- Check your email. You are required to enter an email address during Checkout, so that you will receive updates about the status of your order. Once all or part of your order has shipped, you will receive an email with a tracking number. If you selected store pick up for your order, you will receive an email to advise when it is ready to be picked up. Please do not go to the pick up location until you receive this email.
- Visit the website. You may sign in to your account for your Order History at any time. Information about your open orders, tracking, and past orders is available.
WHEN CAN YOU TRACK YOUR ORDER?
You will receive a tracking number in one or more emails as your order ships. At our distribution centres, tracking numbers are assigned to packages once they are finished be packed and are ready for courier pick-up. However, it may take up to 48 hours before the package is picked up and checked into the carrier's tracking system. Even when your package has already shipped from a distribution centre use and is on its way to the shipping destination, the carrier may not be able to provide any tracking information for your package for up to 48 hours.
Orders placed on SportChek.ca may be delivered by one or more different carriers.
NO TRACKING NUMBER ASSOCIATED WITH YOUR ORDER?
Occasionally, orders are delivered via a carrier that does not offer the ability to track a package. In these instances, your Order History on SportChek.ca will not offer tracking information but will still offer order status and other details.
To learn the difference between tracking information and order status, please read the information provided below.
HOW IS ORDER STATUS DIFFERENT FROM TRACKING INFORMATION?
The status of your order is supplied by SportChek.ca and can be viewed by logging into your account and reviewing your order history. It represents the progress of your order between the time it is placed and the time it ships from a distribution centre.
Once your order leaves a distribution centre, it is handled by a carrier that will provide tracking information until your order is delivered. Please note that tracking information may not be available for up to 48 hours after an item is shipped. Tracking information is accessible from the tracking number link included in your shipping email and within your Order History on our website when it becomes available.
All questions regarding the status of a package with a tracking number should be directed to the shipping company.
Contact us. If you still have questions about your order, please contact Customer Service.
Why hasn't my package arrived yet?
Please note that due to high volumes during the holiday season and busy carriers, tracking information and delivery times may be delayed. All order tracking updates are available through your tracking number and/or the carrier's website. During this busy time, we kindly ask for your patience and to contact our Call Centre for URGENT requests only related to lost/missing parcels.
Delivery of your order will depend on the fulfillment location (we ship from many locations across Canada) plus the amount of time it takes for a carrier to pick up and deliver your order. Although we will make every effort to ship your order in a timely manner, the delivery of your order may be delayed due to weather conditions, carrier delays, or other events out of our control.
An estimate of when a product is expected to leave a fulfillment centre is approx 1-5 business days and will vary due to location and increased volume during the holidays. We cannot guarantee the timing of when an order will leave a fullfillment centre and approximate delivery timelines are an estimate only.
CALCULATING DELIVERY TIME
Delivery Time = Fulfillment Centre Handling Time (up to 1-5 business days) + Carrier Shipping Time (up to 1-5 business days)
Fulfillment Centre Handling Time refers to the amount of time it will take for a location to receive, pick & pack your order.
Carrier Shipping Time is the amount of time it will take your order to travel from a fulfillment location to your destination.
Example: The item you ordered takes 1-5 full business days to leave a fulfillment centre. Depending on your location, it could take anywhere from 2-10 business days for the item to arrive from the date it was ordered.
Please note that business days are Monday to Friday, excluding statutory holidays.
