Help & policies
Shipping
How and when your order moves.
How long does shipping take?
Orders ship from Winnipeg within 1 business day of being placed. Delivery time depends on the carrier and your location, and the estimate is shown at checkout before you pay. You'll get a tracking number by email as soon as your order is on its way.
How much is shipping?
Shipping is calculated at checkout based on your address and the size of your order. You'll see the exact cost before you pay.
Which carrier will deliver my order?
Canada Post, Purolator, UPS, or FedEx, depending on your address and the best option available. For the northern Manitoba and Nunavut communities Calm Air flies to from Winnipeg, checkout also offers air cargo, collected at the airport cargo office. The carrier and tracking link are in your shipping confirmation email.
Do you ship to the territories and remote areas?
Yes. Shipping cost and delivery time are shown at checkout. Remote areas can take longer. Where Calm Air flies from Winnipeg (Thompson, Churchill, Rankin Inlet and the other communities it serves), you can choose air cargo and pick the order up at the airport when it lands.
Do you ship outside Canada?
Not at this time. Checkout accepts Canadian addresses only.
Can I change my shipping address after ordering?
Yes, as long as the shipping label has not been printed. Send us the order number and the new address through the contact page.

Thirty days to change your mind, one year against defects.
What is your return policy?
You can return unused items in their original condition and packaging within 30 days of delivery. You pay return shipping, unless the item arrived defective or we sent the wrong one.
How do I start a return?
Send a refund request through the contact page with your order number and the item you'd like to return. We'll reply with instructions on where to ship it.
Start a returnWhen will I see my refund?
Once we receive and inspect the return, we refund your original payment method. Most banks show the refund within 5 to 10 business days.
What does the warranty cover?
All products are covered for 1 year from the date of purchase against defects under regular use. The warranty does not cover physical damage, misuse, or normal wear.
What if I receive a defective product?
Send a refund request through the contact page with your order number and a description of the problem. We handle every case individually. Defective items must be returned to us before a replacement or refund is issued.
Report a defective itemOrders and payment
Cards, wallets, receipts and cancellations.
What payment methods do you accept?
All major credit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Link. Payments are processed securely by Stripe.
Can I cancel my order?
Yes, free of charge, as long as the shipping label has not been printed. Once the label prints, the order is on its way and you'd need to return it instead. Send a cancellation through the contact page with your order number as soon as possible.
Cancel an orderIs my card information safe?
Yes. Your card details go directly to Stripe and never touch our servers. We only ever see the last four digits.
Do you charge sales tax?
Yes. Applicable federal and provincial taxes are calculated at checkout based on your shipping address, and your receipt lists each tax and our registration numbers.
Is an order delivered to a First Nations reserve tax exempt?
Yes. At checkout, tick the box for delivery to a reserve and enter your status card registry number or band number; no tax is charged on that order. The order must be delivered to the reserve address by the carrier, so the exemption does not apply to air cargo collected at the airport. The number is stored encrypted and shown to nobody in full.
I buy for resale. Can the provincial tax come off?
Yes. From your account settings, file your provincial tax number for the province you ship to. Once we approve it, that province's sales tax comes off your orders there automatically; GST or HST still applies.
Do I need an account to order?
No. You can check out as a guest. We'll offer to save your details after payment so your next order is faster.
Business and bulk orders
Quotes, resellers and purchase orders.
Do you offer bulk or reseller pricing?

Request a quoteDo you accept purchase orders?
Yes. Send the details through the contact page, or email the purchase order itself to info@truenorthcables.ca, and we'll get back to you.
Send a purchase orderChoosing the right cable
Which cable does what.
Which HDMI cable do I need?
For 4K at 60Hz, any High Speed (HDMI 2.0) cable will do. For 4K at 120Hz or 8K, you need an Ultra High Speed (HDMI 2.1) cable. Every product page lists the version and maximum resolution so you can match it to your TV or console.
Does a more expensive HDMI cable give a better picture?
No. HDMI is digital, so the signal either arrives or it doesn't. What matters is that the cable is rated for your resolution and refresh rate, and that it's long enough. Beyond that, extra cost buys nothing.
What's the difference between Cat5e, Cat6, and Cat6a?
Cat5e handles gigabit speeds and is fine for most homes. Cat6 handles 10 gigabit up to 55 metres and is the safer choice for new installs. Cat6a handles 10 gigabit up to 100 metres and is what you want for longer runs or a business network.
I'm not sure what I need. Can you help?
Yes. Ask a product question through the contact page with what you're trying to connect and we'll point you to the right cable.
