Stock & Quantity Policies

Varying product & stock quantities by location

We strive to ensure that every customer can get what they need, but due to location store and warehouse sizes, we may be limited to what each store can stock readily on-hand. 

However, to help solve this issue, we offer free transfers of products between locations. So if you’re shopping online, please select your ideal pickup location at checkout and we’ll do the heavily lifting of getting everything where it needs to be. 

See our Shipping & Delivery Policies section below for more information. 

Varying stock available online and in-store

Although we do our absolute best to ensure that the online “available” stock numbers show what’s currently available, there is a slight delay between our in-store system and online store. 

"Stock by location" showing different numbers than "quantity available"

Similar to the “Varying stock available online vs in-store” item above, the “Stock by Location” section on our site show the information from one system, whereas the “Quantity Available” shows information from a different system. Unfortunately, there is a slight delay between these two numbers, but this is usually for less than 24-hours. 

Shipping & Delivery Policies

Available Shipping and Delivery Options

The following options are available to you for your convenience: 

  • Hardware: Available for orders of smaller items that would comfortable and realistically fit in a pickup truck
  • Van or Flatbed (Building Materials): Typically used for medium-sized orders, or orders of building materials such as lumber. 
  • Boom or Flatbed with Forklift (Concrete & Large Orders): This option accommodates larger orders or concrete products. 
  • Store Pickup: Feel free to order for pickup at your closest Lyons & Island TIMBER MART location. We offer free product transfers between stores.

Free product transfers between stores

As part of our in-store pickup option at checkout, we offer product transfers between stores – For Free.

This means that if there are any products out of stock at your preferred location when you’re shopping online, simply opt-in for in-store pickup at your preferred location. We are more than happy to ship the products to the selected store and let you know once they’re available for pickup.

Please note that product transfers between stores may take 24-48 hours. 

Order Processing

We work hard to ensure a quick turnaround for your online order. For many items, we offer less than 24-hour order processing, especially when stock is readily available at your nearest location. However, when items need to be transferred between locations in order to satisfy your total order, please allow up to 48-hours for order processing and product transfers. Our store-to-store product transfers are always free! 

Shipping Times

We know it’s important to our customers that their orders are processed, packaged and shipped as quickly as possible. We work hard to make that happen. Once your order is processed and packaged for shipping (usually 24-48 hours) we will get it to you as soon as we can. For “Express Small Item Delivery” this can be same-day shipping from when the order is processed. However, for medium and larger orders, this can be a day or two. We will confirm shipping once the order has been processed, and strive for quick, efficient and safe delivery of all your items. 

Local Store Pickup

An option available to our customers is FREE in-store pickup at your local Lyons & Island TIMBER MART location. This allows you to pick up your order, for free, once it’s processed and packaged. Our team will let you know when it’s ready and available for pickup. Please bring your order number, the receipt and a Photo ID. The same person who placed the order must be the same as the person who picks it up. You will have 14-days to pick up your order. If the order is not picked up in 14-days, we will refund the order and return the items to our shelves.

Curb-Side Pickup

If you ordered an item for Local Pickup and are unable to come in the store, please call the location’s number and one of our customer care associates will be more than happy to organize a curb-side drop-off to your car. Please ensure that you have the order number, receipt, and photo ID. Remember, the person who placed the order needs to be the one who picks up the order. 

Postal Codes & Delivery Charges

You may notice that the delivery options and pricing changes slightly between different postal codes. Although we aim to provide competitive rates and options to all corners of the Sault Ste. Marie area, the options and pricing may vary between delivery postal codes to accommodate the additional expenses of a longer drive.
