Surfs and SUPs

Because Surfs and SUPs are oversized products, orders containing these products cannot be shipped for free. If you purchase a Surf or a SUP online, Alternative113 will send you a real-time quote for your shipping fees and they will be yours to pay. Note that you can still purchase the product online and pick it up instore in Rimouski! 

 

Shipping Delays

Preparation time may take a day or two, but most of our orders are transferred to our shipping department the very same day. Expedition time is the approximate time between when the package leaves the shipping department and the time it arrives at its destination. To get an approximate time of delivery, consult the table.

 

Delivery is estimated from the moment the item leaves our shipping department, delays can vary depending on your location and weather. Orders are shipped via Canada Post or Purolator.
