At Trade Tack, we’re committed to making your online experience secure, transparent, and supportive every step of the way.

Tracking Your Trade Tack Order: How It Works and What to Expect
Nothing excites us more than seeing a fellow rider score the perfect saddle pad, bit, or set of boots. Once your order is confirmed, rest easy knowing that Trade Tack provides clear, up-to-date tracking from shipment to your doorstep.
Locating Your Tracking Information
- Email Confirmation: After your order is shipped, you’ll receive a shipping confirmation email with a direct tracking link. This keeps you updated in real time as your tack travels to you.
- Order Tracking Dashboard: Access tracking anytime through our order tracking page. Enter your tracking ID or order number along with your email, and you’ll see the latest details on shipment progress, estimated delivery date, and any status updates.
Understanding the Shipping Timeline
- Shipments within Canada typically arrive in 5 to 10 business days. For rural areas or remote addresses, it may take a little longer.
- International or cross-border orders might require extra time, especially if customs checks are involved—budget up to 21 days in these cases.
- Tracking info becomes active within 24–48 hours of dispatch. If updates seem delayed, reach out to us for a gentle nudge to the courier.
- Curious about delivery in your location? When checking out, use our delivery checker to confirm your postal code is eligible.
Remember, buying used or premium gear from real equestrians means delivery times can vary based on seller location and the product’s journey. If you ever have concerns about your order’s status, our support team is just a click away.
Getting a Return Started: Our Straightforward Process
Even for the most seasoned horseperson, sometimes tack just isn’t the right fit. At Trade Tack, returns are possible—but it’s important to understand how our seller-driven system works so you know what to expect.
Reviewing Seller Return Policies Before You Buy
- Every product listing on Trade Tack clearly displays the seller’s return policy. Check this before you add anything to your cart. Some sellers accept returns; others do not.
- If a seller accepts returns, you’ll have a 5-day window from when your purchase is marked as delivered to request one.
Step-by-Step: How to Make a Return on Trade Tack
- Initiate Within 5 Days of Delivery: Go to your order history or reference your confirmation email. If a return is allowed, notify us via Live Chat or through our Contact Us page with your order number and reason for return.
- Get Your Support Ticket: Once you’ve reached out, our system gives you a support ticket number. Hold onto this for all communications about your return.
- Pack the Item Carefully: The item must remain unused, with all original packaging and tags. If the item returns in a different condition, we won’t be able to process your refund.
- Arrange and Pay for Return Shipping: Buyers are responsible for the shipping fee and service. Use a reliable method with tracking. Save your shipping receipt until your refund is complete.
- Inspection & Refund: After the seller receives your returned tack, they’ll inspect it to verify its condition. If approved, a refund is processed to your original payment method, usually within 1–2 business days.
If a seller doesn’t accept returns, all sales are final—so take those extra moments to check listings closely and reach out with questions before purchasing.
A Note About Product Trials
- Some sellers offer a 5-day trial period (noted in the product description). You’ll pay upfront, try at home, and if the tack isn’t right, initiate a return during your trial window—just remember, items must return in “as sent” condition.
