Tracking Packages to Ensure Delivery

GPS Central will not ship any order over $100.00 by Small Package International or Xpresspost USA, as we cannot track packages. We will only ship orders exceeding $100.00 to other countries if we can track the package. Also, GPS Central reserves the right to charge more for shipping, if the package is oversized or the location is remote.

Credit Card Orders Will be Verified

Please note that your Ship To address must be on file with your credit card company or we will not be able to ship your order.

BACKORDERS

COMPLETE SHIPPING

Our goal is to ship all orders COMPLETE within 24 hours (Monday through Friday, except statutory holidays); same business day is our aim if the order is approved for shipping by 1:00 PM* Mountain Time. Orders approved after this cut-off time may be shipped the same day. After you place the order, log on to your account at any time to check its status. If your order includes an item that is not in stock, your order will be held until all items on your order are in stock to ship complete, unless you request PARTIAL Shipping (see below).

*Cut-off time on Mondays is 12:00pm (noon) Mountain Time due to the amount of orders received over the weekend.

PARTIAL SHIPPING

If you prefer *PARTIAL SHIPPING*  please request it in Comments (shopping cart Checkout, example below). In this case:
• In stock items will be shipped immediately. Any backordered items in your order will be shipped separately at a later date. Normal shipping rates apply for all shipments.
• If your order includes an Advance Order for a yet to be released product and you request PARTIAL Shipping, the Advance Order will be treated as a separate order. Normal shipping rates apply for all shipments.

INTERNATIONAL ORDERS

By selecting an international shipping method you acknowledge that you will accept charges for any customs, duties and taxes payable outside Canada. If the cost of shipping is less than $300.00, the shipping cost on the order will be adjusted accordingly.

See International Orders for policy information.
