Special Order Items
Special Order items (items which are not currently stocked either by ATIC or its distributors in Canada) have no definitive estimated timeframes to order (typically 2-4 weeks, but in some cases much longer), and the pricing will be based on the last known market price, which may change dramatically between when the order is placed and when the item comes in. Please note that placing an order for a special order item requires your acknowledgment of these issues, and that, once placed, special order items can only be canceled upon agreement by ATIC and ATIC's distributors.
If you are not prepared to wait for your order to come in, and are not willing to pay the price of the item upon its arrival, please do not place an order for a special order item, but instead look for an alternative item which is in-stock.

Price Adjustments on Non-Stock Items
Due to changes in shipping policies and large fluctuations in the exchange rate over the past several months, all orders for non-stock items will be subject to price corrections upon arrival. ATIC will endeavor to retain the same price that your original order was placed for whenever possible, but in some circumstances, due to additional shipping fees and fluctuations in the exchange rate, the price may change up to 20% by the time your order arrives.
Please note that your agreement to place an order counts as agreement to pay the additional amount should the price change when your order arrives. If the price increase is above 20%, we will contact you to let you know and verify the order prior to placing the order.

Payment by Credit Card
ATIC Computers now accepts credit card payments online using either MasterCard or VISA. For orders that are being shipped out, we accept credit card payments through the Moneris online Hosted PayPage system. This is a secure transaction system hosted by Moneris, one of the largest Merchant Services Providers in Canada. Please note that we can only ship your orders to the billing address of your credit card. As well, customers not using the Verified by VISA system will be contacted by our staff to verify the card information so that we can verify the billing address through the credit card company.
Please note that ATIC does not provide tracking numbers for orders paid for by credit card online for security purposes. If you have any inquiries into the status of your shipment, please feel free to contact us at
[email protected] and we will let you know the progress of your shipment.
For orders being picked up in-store and paid for by VISA or MasterCard, the card and cardholder must be present in-store at time of pickup. All cardholders must present picture ID and we must verify the signature on the card. For orders over $500.00, we may require telephone verification of your address by VISA or MasterCard. At this time we are not accepting any credit cards other than VISA or MasterCard in-store.

Why we Cannot Accept Credit-Cards by phone, email, or fax
Use of credit-cards by phone, email, and fax is extremely insecure, and is subject to abuse by fraud artists. It is difficult to trace back email, phone calls, and faxes, and nearly impossible to determine point of origin.

is an error in pricing, or an error based on a product description, or
an error in compatibility, ATIC will claim no responsibility in
regards to the order, and only offers cancellation of the order as an
acceptable resolution, unless otherwise specifically stated.

You must have a case number or RA/RMA number from the manufacturer prior to contacting us in regards to this.
No returns or exchanges are accepted for products that are incompatible with other products you may be using (even if purchased on the same invoice), or for products that do not meet expectations or fulfill specific requirements, even if the product manufacturer makes claims that they should.
