Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I keep getting a busy signal or no answer?

 We have 4 incoming/outgoing lines. At many times in the day these lines get tied up. Also during most of the day there are people in the store that we are attending too. We try our very best to service everyone in store, on the phone, by fax, or email. If you get a busy signal when you call please try us back at a later time. If you do not get an answer but are directed to the voice mail system please leave a message on the appropriate voice mailbox that deals with your inquiry. We answer all messages in a timely fashion. Please note that we are located in the Eastern Standard Time Zone and this may also be a reason for a busy signal or no answer. Please be sure that we are within our operating hours before you call so that you have a greater chance at getting the help you desire. We can also be reached through email if the phones produce no answer or a busy signal.

What size of goal gear do I need?

 We have taken the time to look at every piece of gear that we offer. We have also used our manufacturers’ sizing guides to make them available to you, our valued customer. Furthermore, we have taken sizing further by offering recommendations on gear sizing based on how a product is worn by each and every individual. When asking us to help make size recommendations, please provide us with the information we need to correctly suit you and your attributes.

I am overseas, what is the cost and time of shipping?

 The Goalie Crease uses Canada Post to ship most overseas packages. Our preferred method is Air Mail. The cost is a little higher than Surface Mail. We recommend Canada Post Air Mail for the following reasons. Anything sent via Canada Post Air Mail will arrive in 5 to 10 business days. Canada Post Air Mail allows us and you to track a package until it is safely in your possession. Canada Post Air Mail cost is based on the actual size and weight of the package. The larger and heavier the package, the more it costs to ship. For more information on overseas shipping please email us at info@thegoaliecrease.com or call us at 1.888.449.1274 or check out “SHOPPING INFO.”

 

We will ship via Canada Post Surface Mail upon your request but it is not recommend or endorsed. Surface Mail is not possible to track. Shipments usually take from 4 to 12 weeks to arrive, making it very difficult to predict an arrival date or protection of your valued purchase. The cost of shipping via Surface Mail is based on the actual package size and weight. The cost of Surface Mail is not significantly lower than Air Mail.

 

Please be aware that sticks can not be shipped via Canada Post. There are length restrictions on packages, making sticks too long to be shipped via Canada Post Services. For stick purchases we can ship via Purolator Courier. Packages take 5 to 7 business days to arrive. The cost is based on dimensional size and weight. Tracking is available on all packages.
