The Essential Guide for Collectors & Enthusiasts - Understanding Pre-Orders at Model Cars Canada
Start Your Engines—Pre-Orders Are Back!
Exciting news for collectors and enthusiasts—pre-orders are back at ModelCarsCanada.com! We’ve listened to your feedback and are reintroducing pre-orders to help you secure the most sought-after model cars before they sell out. This update ensures you never miss out on exclusive releases, limited editions, and new arrivals. Read on to learn how our pre-order system works and what you need to know before placing your order!
What Are Pre-Orders?
Pre-orders allow you to reserve upcoming diecast and resin model car releases before they become available and in stock. By pre-ordering, you secure your item at the time of announcement rather than waiting until after release usually months later when supplies may be limited. This is especially beneficial for collectors looking to add rare, low production, or high-demand models to their collections stress free!
Why Pre-Order?
✅ Lock It In: Popular models sell out fast—pre-ordering guarantees you don’t miss out.
🎯 Early Access: Limited edition releases can disappear in a flash, but pre-orders ensure you get yours.
🚚 Fast Lane Shipping: Pre-orders are shipped as soon as stock arrives, so you’ll be among the first to unbox your new model!
How It Works!
Placing a pre-order is simple and hassle-free:
-
Browse our selection of pre-order items on the website.
-
Add the desired model(s) to your cart and complete the checkout process.
-
Payment is collected at the time of pre-order to confirm your reservation.
-
Once the item arrives, we process and ship your order as soon as possible.
-
You’ll receive tracking details once your order has been dispatched.
Important Pre-Order Terms & Conditions
Before placing your pre-order, here are a few key policies to keep in mind:
-
📅 Release Dates: Arrival dates are provided by the manufacturers and may change.
-
💳 Payment is Upfront: Pre-orders require full payment upfront to secure your item.
