Akins-Brewer: Store Policies

DELIVERY FOR IN-STORE PURCHASES

At Akins-Brewer, we strive to provide convenient same or next day delivery service at a fair and affordable price.

All deliveries within Oxford County are subject to a $15 Fuel Surcharge.  Deliveries within Oxford County with a value under $1000 before taxes are also subject to a $25 Delivery Charge.

For deliveries of greater distance, or outside Oxford County, please contact us for pricing.

While we will make every reasonable effort to place your product as close as possible to where it is to be used, extra services including but not limited to rooftop boom delivery, basement drywall delivery, and placement of product anywhere other than where it can be dumped via flatbed truck or mechanically set down by our forklift or boom trucks will incur additional charges.

Clear communication by our customers regarding specific delivery concerns and situations at point of order is extremely helpful in ensuring a successful delivery experience.

DELIVERY FOR ONLINE PURCHASES

The shipping fee for online purchases is automatically calculated by the system for most orders. If the system is unable to calculate a shipping fee (e.g. an over-sized item), then we will contact you with your shipping options. If you select "In-store Pickup" for your online order, then no shipping fee is added.

If you chose to have your order delivered to you, please allow 15 to 30 days to receive your order. If you have chosen to pick your order up at our store you will be notified of when your order is ready to be picked up. Please allow 15 days for a pick up notification.

After placing your order, you may click the "My Account / Order Status" link at the top right hand side of our site to track the status of your order.

You will receive a shipment confirmation when your order has shipped and tracking information within 24-48 hours of shipment.

RETURNS FOR IN-STORE PURCHASES

Returns of regularly stocked items are accepted within 30 days of original purchase subject to the following terms and conditions:

  • All returned items must be accompanied by their original receipt, in their original packaging, unused and in good condition.  Lumber and panel items must not be cut, weathered, or otherwise show any signs of use to receive credit.  We cannot offer returns for special order items, items marked final sale or items sold more than 30 days previous.
  • Refunds will be issued by the original method of payment.  In the event payment was made by cheque, refunds will be subject to a 14 day waiting period from time of original purchase, after which a company cheque will be issued to the customer to complete the refund process.
  • Returns of large quantities may take up to 5 business days to process due to verification procedures.

To return product not stocked physically in the store, customers are asked to see  a member of our yard staff to receive an RMA for goods they are returning.  Returns will be accepted by yard staff at their discretion.  Once an RMA has been obtained, customers can then visit the store to receive their credit.

In the event you require a pickup of returns from your jobsite, fuel surcharge plus a handling charge may apply.
