Established in 1989, Guitarworks has grown to 4 locations, all located in Calgary, Alberta, by selling a whole lot of guitars. We know guitars. We love guitars. We have to, it's all we sell. Some of us play in bands. Some of us have families. One of us has a nut allergy. But we all love guitars.
Shipping Policy
Canadian Orders
Most orders over $200 CAD ship free within Canada. A shipping fee may apply for orders of oversize items within Canada. In very rare circumstances, such as extreme oversize/overweight items or destinations designated as “Beyond Point” by Canada Post and/or other courier services, shipping fees may need to be added after the order is placed but before the item(s) ships. In these cases, the client will be contacted to discuss options and no charges will be applied until client agrees.
We ship with a variety of carriers including Canada Post, Purolator, Canpar, UPS and Fedex. We reserve the right to choose the most economical carrier but can ship with carrier of customer's choice, extra fees may apply.
