Frequently Asked Questions

11:59pm. Orders made before 11:59pm Thursday are for that Saturday's pickup.

Any orders made after that are for the following Saturday.

ready Saturday, November 21st.

Example 2 - order is made at 9:00am Friday, November 20th. Order will be ready

Are there any exceptions to closing hours?

Yes. For inventory management reasons Nat's Bread closes at 2pm on Thursdays.

 

When and where is the pick up?

Pick up is on Saturdays between 9:30am-11:00am at the Beechwood Market, 203 Stanley Ave. The orders are available for pick up at our Market Management table. Please be on time for your pick up. If you are running late please let us know. If you miss your pick up, your order will be taken back to our Market HUB in Manor Park (1805 Gaspé Ave.) for collection.

 

Do I need an account to order?

Yes. It speeds up your check out and gets you tied into the Ottawa Street Markets

Community. Please be sure to verify your account by answering the email sent

to you after your initial registration.

 

What health and safety measures are you taking to protect customers?

We continue to follow recommended OPH public health measures.

 

How much is delivery? When can I expect it?

Delivery is $8-$10 flat. They are all done on Saturdays. We aim to get all deliveries

done - east of Bank st between 10am and noon and west of Bank st between

noon and 2pm.

 

Should I bring my reusable bags with me?

You can, but not necessary. Your order will come in a recyclable paper bag or

box.

 

Can I modify or cancel my order?

Yes. Best option is to just cancel your order and start again.

 

If I sign up for the newsletter, do I get bombarded with malarkey?

No. The newsletter comes twice a week. It includes community news, Market

updates and facts about the vendors. You will not receive anything more.

 

If I order on Friday, would I pick it up on Saturday immediately after?

No. Please see point #2.

 

Are there any additional/hidden fees?

No. We are upfront about all the costs.

 

Can I pay when I pick up my order?

No. All items are prepaid through the Online Store. There is no cash exchanged

on site and no additional items for sale.

 

Do I have to stick to my allotted time slot?

Yes, please. It will prevent bottlenecks and allow us to get the local goodness out

to as many people as possible.

If you are running late please let us know. If you do not arrive during the alloted pick up time, your order will be taken back to our Market HUB in Manor Park (1805 Gaspé Ave.) for collection.

 

 

Can I return or replace items?

We encourage you to check the contents of your order for accuracy before you

leave the Pickup area. If an item is missing or unsatisfactory, we will

replace it with the same or similar product the following Saturday. Because we

will have only the quantities ordered for any given week and nothing additional,

we would not be able to replace the item immediately.

Of course, we will do our best to get you the item sooner than the following

week, but we do not guarantee it.
