How it Works (Terms of Service below)

Step 1

Register & Shop when the store is open.

Your Account Name on the store, E-mail Address and E-transfer Name & E-mail should all match. 

(If not, please state the Customer Name or Order Number in your e-transfer notes.)

The store will not let you add items while it's closed. 

The store opens each week at exactly 12 noon Tuesday and closes at 8pm Thursday.

Step 2

Select a Pick-up Time or Delivery Request

Pick-up Times are between 9am-1pm. All deliveries take place between 1-3pm.

Add your Pick-up Time (or Delivery Request) at the top of the SHOP page.

Add your Pick-up Time (or Delivery Request) to your cart, just like all the other products in the store.

To make sure you did it correctly, your selected Pick-up Time (or Delivery Request) should appear at the top of the items in your cart. 

• PICK-UP TIMES F.A.Q.
• Stuck? Watch this little tutorial video we made
• Please only select Delivery Request if...
  • You are unable to leave your house due to quarantine, family care, or mobility reasons
  • OR if you are unavailable during the 9am-1pm Pick-Up window.
• Need to change your time?
  • You can do this yourself while the store is still open...
  • First, remove your existing time from your order.
  • Then go back to the SHOP page and add a new one.
  • Still stuck? We are happy to help over the phone. 
    • Available afternoons Tues-Thurs 
    • Emma Barken 613.572.7059
    • Jolene Simko 613.583.2569
• There are no plans to offer Delivery-for-a-Fee to the general public at this time.  
• We are a small team of part-time staff and volunteers dedicated to ensuring access to local food.

Step 3

Shop & Confirm your Order (re-confirm as necessary) 

Some items are more popular than others!

The cart will not hold an item for you until you click the "Confirm Order" button.

• If an item shows as "0" quantity in your cart, that means it was sold out before you could click "Confirm Order"
• For this reason, feel free to "Confirm" right away once you have your most important items selected.
• When you're finished shopping for the week, click "Resend Confirmation" to get the correct total sent to your e-mail.  

But Remember - a "Confirmed" order is treated as a commitment to pay for (and pick up) your order.

For these reasons:

• Please do not add items to your cart that might be removed later.
• If you need to cancel your order, you MUST do so before 7pm Thursday to give others a chance to snap up your unwanted items before the store closes at 8pm.

Step 4

Send Payment by E-transfer before 8pm Thursday

Please confirm your total before sending payment.

Send e-transfers to orders@memorialcentremarket.ca 

• PAYMENT F.A.Q.
• The question/password doesn't matter as your payment will be deposited automatically.
• We are human people(!) reviewing all payments manually, so it may take up to 24 hours to mark your order as "Paid".
• Payment is due as soon as you're finished shopping for the week. 
• You CAN add items after paying, just please remember to send another e-transfer for the difference right away.
• We will contact you if we can't find your payment. No news is good news.

Grounds for being added to the "Naughty" List:

• We will cancel an order if repeated reminders for payment are ignored. 
• Repeated unpaid/cancelled orders may result in being blacklisted from our store.

Step 5

Review Sunday Pick-up Instructions

Please wear a mask when you come to pick-up your order.

Pick-up your order at the barns located in the west parking lot of the Kingston Memorial Centre, 303 York St.

A pick-up reminder notice with up-to-date Health & Safety Procedures is sent out on Saturdays. 

Due to changing COVID-19 health regulations - Please make a point to always review that e-mail!

Step 6

Wash & Check over your items when you get home

HEALTH & SAFETY:

• Although we have taken every preventative measure possible...
• with your safety in mind...
• please wash your hands immediately when you get home...
• then wash and/or sanitize your items before you put them away... 

MISSING or DAMAGED ITEMS?

• Before 2pm Sunday: call or text Emma at 613.572.7059 right away, as may be able to deliver your missing item.
• After 2pm Sunday: e-mail us at orders@memorialcentremarket.ca and we'll help you get it fixed.
