F.A.Q.

In-Store & curbside pick-up

What is In-store pick-up?

Take advantage of our free in-store pick-up service for the ultimate in safety and convenience! Simply buy online as usual, checkout, then select the Pickup In Store option. You’ll receive an order confirmation email right away while we prepare your order. Once your order is ready, you’ll receive a “Ready For Pick Up” email letting you know it’s time to pick up your order from your selected store.

To give you even more freedom of choice, you also have the option to “split” your order. What this means is you may choose to ship some items to your home and pick up other items you’ve selected in store. Please note that as of now, only the person who placed the order may pick up the order.

Are there additional fees for in-store pick-up?

Good news, there are no additional fees for this great service!

Can I ship to different store locations?

Unfortunately, you can only select one store at a time for in-store pick-up at the present time.

What is curbside pick up?

Curbside pick up is a safe and easy option to pick up your order without ever having to leave your car! After receiving your order confirmation email, you’ll receive your “Ready for Pick Up” email alerting you that your order is ready, simply proceed to the selected location and call the store to let them know you’re here for your curbside pick up. An available sales associate will then bring your order to your car. If for some unforeseen reason no associates are available to assist you, you will be advised to pick up your order inside the store as usual. Unfortunately, requested or scheduled pick-up times are not available as turn around to prepare your order will vary from store to store.

At what times will my curbside order be available for pick up?

Good news! Your curbside pick up order will be available 30 minutes prior to store opening until 6:00 PM unless business hours end earlier, weather permitting.

What is the difference between in-store pick-up and curbside pick up?

Good Question! Allow us to introduce these two great new services we’re now offering.

  • An in-store pick-up order is an order purchased online and then collected by you inside the store of your choosing.
  • Our curbside pick up option offers the convenience of never leaving your vehicle to receive your goods! With curbside pick up orders, a sales associate will meet you at the designated pick up area with your order in hand instead of you collecting it inside the store!

COVID-19

When are you reopening your stores?

We are gradually reopening our stores as per provincial governments’ authorization. We are ensuring that all public health guidelines are respected and that our stores remain safe places for our staff and for our customers. When it comes to the other remaining provinces, we are monitoring and awaiting the official governments’ announcements to come.

We encourage you to look up the stores that might be open near you and their reduced hours with our Store Locator.

I’ve heard rumors about Reitmans closing?

No, the Reitmans brand is not closing. Our company, Reitmans (Canada) Limited, will build its future and carry on its legacy in retail fashion with three premium brands: Reitmans, Penningtons and RW&CO. Unfortunately, we have made the difficult decision to close two beloved Canadian brands: Thyme Maternity (as of July 18, 2020) and Addition Elle (as of August 15, 2020). As difficult as this situation may be, it reminds us that we would not exist without you. Thank you for your support!

What measures will you be taking in-store to protect your customers?

Since the beginning of the COVID-19 crisis, we have been proactive in implementing numerous preventive measures across our workplaces including enhanced cleaning and disinfecting protocols, mandatory handwashing and strict social distancing protocols. In order to keep all of our employees and customers as safe as possible, and in support of collective efforts against COVID-19, we are also putting in place all measures indicated by the provincial governments in order to ensure a healthy and safe environment. In order to identify and control adequately the risks of propagation of the virus in our stores, a risk assessment has been conducted by a multi-disciplinary team and recommendations have been implemented in the stores. For example, we designated a one-way traffic path, installed plexiglass panels at the cash desks, added alcohol-based hand sanitizer at the store entrance and fitting rooms, encouraged contactless payments, etc.

Keeping everything clean for you

The health and safety of our customers and employees is our top priority. We have therefore increased our cleaning protocols to ensure a safe shopping environment, and we have put other measures in place:

  • We will clean and disinfect high-touch areas and surfaces more frequently, including changing rooms, counters, and cash registers;
  • We have placed hand sanitizing stations at all of our store entrances and changing rooms.

Know your limits

  • We've placed health and security standards signage throughout your store to remind you of the social distancing and safety measures in place;
  • We’ve placed distancing markers on the floor in order to encourage customers to maintain a safe distance from other shoppers and store staff;
  • We’ll be limiting the number of store occupancy, our team members included;
  • We’ve installed Plexiglas shields in front of our cash registers;
  • We’ve limited the number of available changing rooms;
  • Clothing items that you will try on will be pulled from the floor for a period of time & steamed before making it back on the selling floor.
  • We ask customers who have cold or flu symptoms or who have recently traveled abroad to shop online.
As a customer, what can I do to stay safe while shopping in-stores?

Our teams will be ready and waiting to welcome you back to the shopping experience you know and love. In order to help in the effort to stay healthy and safe, we encourage you to reduce the amount of contact as much as possible while shopping. Here are some ways you can help:

  • Avoid touching products as much as possible: ask our sales associate for help;
  • We will be processing contactless transactions so we will ask you to provide the tags for our sales associate to scan;
  • Pay with a card instead of cash when possible; make the payment yourself using the terminal to limit close contact.

Thank you for helping us to maintain health and security standards!

What measures are you taking to protect your employees across the board?

In order to keep all of our employees as safe as possible, and in support of collective efforts against COVID-19, we have taken several measures over the past few weeks and days. We have increased our cleaning protocols in all of our workplaces and ensured that our teams are well-informed and adopting the necessary precautions to protect themselves and those around them. This includes frequent handwashing and staying home if they feel sick or have travelled outside the country. We are also enabling as many employees as possible to work from home and taking other steps to maximum social distancing at work. Additionally, we will also be respecting every measure shared by the provincial authorities.

Will my online order take longer than usual?

Despite these challenging times, we are maintaining scheduled packing and shipping operations with a limited number of employees who are still supporting our online orders. To assist the efforts to slow the spread of the coronavirus, and protect our employees as well as our customers, we are increasing the frequency of scheduled cleanings and sanitization in our Distribution Centre. We are also taking precautionary health measures, including frequent handwashing, and extra social distancing. As a result, you may experience some delays in your order, both coming from our Distribution Centre and Canada Post. Rest assured that we will be working closely with our customers to meet their needs as the situation evolves. As the safety of our employees and yours is a top priority, we hope you will understand this unprecedented situation.

What are the free shipping terms and conditions?

We realize that online shopping has become the only way to shop with us until our stores re-open. Therefore, we are lowering our free shipping threshold temporarily to $75 instead of $120.

The pricing of an item can change depending on the colour selected. In some cases, only certain colours will be part of a promotion while others will be at the original price.

On our website, the pricing for any specific colour will always be displayed above the colour swatch. The colour swatches for regular priced colours are shown on the first line. Once a colour has been marked down, we then display it on separate line below the main heading. When selecting a colour, the prices displayed will NOT change, only the image will.

For example, in the image below the Black is at the regular price of $69.90, while the Brown and Grey are reduced to $64.95 and the Beige is reduced to $54.95.

In the event where only some of the colours are on sale we must show that item in the Sale section, but we will demonstrate the different colour swatches with their appropriate prices. At times the header will show the price range as well.

What is a gift card?

A gift card is a pre-paid, re-loadable cash card that you can use to pay for merchandise online or at any of our locations across Canada. It is the convenient and easy way to pay!

What is the difference between an e-gift card and a plastic gift card?

E-gift cards are digital gift cards that are emailed directly to the gift recipient immediately or on a given date. Plastic gift cards are mailed to the recipient (shipping takes 4-9 business days), both can be used online or in stores.

Where can I get a gift card?

Visit one of our stores to purchase a plastic gift card or go online to purchase either a plastic gift card or an e-gift card.

Is there a gift card purchase minimum?

We offer different denominations ($25, $50, etc.) for our plastic/e-gift cards. You can also specify a different amount, if the amount you want on the card is not one we already offer. Purchases of gift cards online require a minimum amount of $5.00 and cannot exceed $1,000.

Do I have to pay shipping for my gift card?

No, there is no shipping fee to receive a plastic or e-gift card.

Standard shipping delivery usually takes between 4-9 business days for plastic gift cards. Alternately, you may opt for Express Shipping, with shipments delivered within 2-3 business days and tracking included for the rate of $15.99, before taxes.

E-gift cards will be emailed or sent via text message immediately or on the delivery date selected.

I have a gift card, but it says it’s only valid in-store. Can I use this online?

Only gift cards with a PIN can be redeemed online. If your card does not have a PIN, it can still be used in store.

My gift card doesn’t cover the entire cost of the item I want. Can I pay the rest of the amount with my credit card?

Yes! You can use gift cards or a credit card to complete your purchase. Currently, you can use up to five gift cards to complete a purchase. PayPal payment cannot be combined with other form of payments.

Can I use my gift card for an online order being shipped to the US?

Yes, but all amounts on our gift cards are in Canadian dollars. They can be redeemed online or in any Canadian stores.

I received a plastic/e-gift card as a gift, but I don’t want it. Can I return it?

What happens if I return an item purchased with a gift card?

You will be refunded with an e-gift card and you will receive a separate email with the e-gift card details. Please retain this email, as you will need the information to purchase online, or bring the email in-store to make an in-store purchase. If you paid for your purchase using both a credit card and a gift card, a portion of your refund may be applied back to your credit card.
