Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
Suggested Store
Why is a store suggested to customers as soon as they visit this website?
On the first web page that customers visit, a store is suggested to them. This store is assigned by default based on the location supplied to us by the IP address of their internet connection. When customers shop online, they first would like to see the largest selection of products. Eventually, they would like to see all the stores that have the product(s) they want in stock. This gives online customers the opportunity to see the widest choice of products available at a store near them.
Why do I have to select a store?
Selecting a store allows our system to indicate both the price and availability of the items at this location. RONA operates stores of all sizes and product lines, including big box, building material, proximity and affiliated hardware stores. Product prices and availability may vary by store due to fluctuating geographic market conditions.
Keep in mind that your online purchase is prepared at the store you select, so it's very important for you to validate the address of this location before confirming your order.
I don't see a price for every product. Why?
To see product prices, you need first to select a store. The prices for some building materials are not available online due to fluctuations in market prices. For more information about these products, please contact your store.
Why do product prices vary by store?
Our goal is to offer you the best price at all our stores. Some stores with specific agreements can offer lower prices on local products. Prices may, therefore, vary according to the specific agreements negotiated by these stores.
Do the prices shown on this site include taxes?
The prices shown on this site are in Canadian dollars. These prices do not include taxes, which are added to your bill online.
Why can't I find my store?
When product prices and availability are not available for this store, it's not possible for you to shop online and pick up your order. Contact your store directly for more information about their products.
Can I change stores?
Yes, you can change the store suggested to you. Click on "Find a store" or position your cursor on the store suggested to you under "My store". Click the "Change Store" button. Choose the new store from the proposed list and click "Select". You can also make your selection directly on the map.
Keep in mind that changing stores may change the prices and availability shown on the website for certain products. If you have any items in your shopping cart at the time, it will be emptied since the prices and availability of these products may not be the same as before.
