Delivery is curbside. Delays can happen, and PoolTile.ca cannot be held responsible for delays in shipping.

Where we deliver

We deliver within Canada to residential and commercial addresses only, no P.O. boxes. Someone must be on site to receive the delivery.

Booking and tracking

A driver will call you to book a delivery date and time once your order has left our warehouse. You get a tracking number when one is available.

Customs, duties and taxes

You only pay what you see at checkout. For special order and backorder items, we pay any import customs and duties, so there are no surprise fees after checkout.

Check for damage

Look over your delivery before the driver leaves. Note any damage on the carrier’s delivery receipt, then report it to us within 48 hours with photos, at contact@pooltile.ca. Please keep all packaging.

Returns
