Our Loyalty To You…

Satisfaction Guarantee
Satisfaction Satisfaction always sounds like the bare minimum, so we settled on a better plan…
Meet or Exceed Expectations or We’ll Take It Back
Open the box. Try the equipment. Make sure it will do the job for you. If you decide not to use it, simply mail it back to us within 30 days of purchase for a complete, 100% refund of the product price.* No re-stocking fees. No hassles.

Worried about fake reviews and inexplicable super deals on Amazon?
You should be. It’s a problem.
Factory knock-offs, undisclosed refurbishings, ‘used-sold-as-new’.
You won’t find any of that nonsense here at Modern Outpost.

Warranty Support
Did you know that we cover shipping costs when it comes to warranty issues? That’s right, if it’s broken, & it wasn’t your fault, we pay the postage. You don’t even need to find your receipt!
We handle most issues ourselves, & only involve the manufacturer when it will provide you with better, faster service.

Quality Assurance
Why would we pledge to cover warranty shipping costs, and then decide to sell garbage?
No, we only sell stuff that works, and works well. This means we are extremely choosy about what we put into our catalog. We call it our ‘no crap’ policy.

Huge Selection
It’s not possible to carry every product from every manufacturer, but we can try. We have been known to go out of our way to get what people need, so if you need an item from a manufacturer we represent, and we don’t have it in our catalog, just give us a call & we will get it on the next stagecoach out.

Technical Advice
Got a problem requiring a solution? Need to know how something works? Need a design or quotation? Please feel free to send us an email, we’re happy to help.

Rest assured…
We want to see you back here at the Outpost for many years to come. When you work with us, you are working with one of the few companies that knows that before you will be loyal to us, we need to show you how loyal we are to you.

How Your Order Is Processed

After placing an order with us online, or by phone, you will receive an order confirmation via email outlining your purchase.
We maintain a large product inventory through Canada-wide distribution centres (not Amazon!) that allows us to ship most orders within 1-3 days. Our wide distribution network also means that we usually have products available when supply chains are tight.

If you have any questions or concerns about your order, please give us a call or send us an email, and we will deal with it promptly.

Shipping Your Order

We ship most small orders via Canada Post, fully insured and tracked through their commercial service.
All customers receive a confirmation of shipment via email with tracking numbers.
Common carriers are used for large freight needs.

The FREE SHIPPING disclaimer…
That asterix beside the FREE SHIPPING label on the product page and on our header bar? That is there as a reminder that no matter how hard we try, Canada is a very large place, with folks living and working in all sorts of far-flung exotic locales. So, while we can certainly provide free freight to places like Whitehorse, Guelph, & Medicine Hat, it is nearly impossible to provide this perk to Atlin, Inuvik, Fort Smith, or Lobster Cove. Especially during key times of the year.

That being said, we will provide a shipping credit equal to the perk afforded to the larger towns and cities to Canadians in remote places. We will outline the exact cost before you pay for an order – simply send us an email or check-out with the ‘Offline’ payment option, and we’ll get an estimate to you for consideration.

Shipping Solar Modules, Batteries, Racking Systems, and Large Inverters
When you place an order for these items, your shopping cart will state “Freight TBD” or something similar. These bulky, oversized, and/or heavy items must be shipped via common freight carriers. Therefore, we will obtain exact quotations for these shipments. Simply submit your order specifying one of the “Offline” or “Invoice” payment methods so you are not asked to pay anything at time of checkout. We will send you a full invoice will all the shipping charges included.
