This is especially useful for people who are in need of one specific item (ie. pet food, outdoor spray, a specific clothing garment, a specific bird feeder, etc). If you call/email/FB or IG message, or text ahead we will have your items ready for you to pick up on arrival and you can avoid any line-up to enter the shop as your pre-ordered/pre-payed item will be brought out to you at the front door. Easy peasy!<div><br /><div>For IN-STORE shopping, we are so happy to have you back in the shop! With our capacity limited we are only able to have a few people per floor in the shop at once. We will do our best to manage both levels of the shop to give everyone a chance to browse and enjoy our newest arrivals safely. We greatly appreciate your patience during these challenging times as we try to accommodate these restrictions. </div><div><br /></div><div>We can't wait to see you, we've missed you all so much!</div><div><br /></div><div>#westwindgifts #bancroft #cottagecountry #shopbancroft #supportsmallbusiness #shoplocal #openontario #bancroftrocks </div></div></div></div>West Windhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05989310279567877489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6196799661365818062.post-71935436129550937452021-05-21T07:42:00.000-04:002021-05-21T07:42:30.999-04:00Updated curbside pick-up hours<p>With the Ontario government extending the lockdown into the middle of June now, we are adjusting our hours. <br /><br />We will be at the shop TUESDAY to SATURDAY by 10 am. </p><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, "Palatino Linotype", Palatino, serif; font-size: 17.6px; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 13pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">To place an order for curbside pick-up please contact us through one of the following methods:</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, "Palatino Linotype", Palatino, serif; font-size: 17.6px; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 13pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Facebook message us</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, "Palatino Linotype", Palatino, serif; font-size: 17.6px; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 13pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Email westwindgifts@gmail.com</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, "Palatino Linotype", Palatino, serif; font-size: 17.6px; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 13pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Text Sandra directly at 613-334-0285 (please no late-night calls or texts!)</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, "Palatino Linotype", Palatino, serif; font-size: 17.6px; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 13pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Call the shop 613-332-1196

<br />Rest assured, we will be taking precautions to keep our customers and team members safe. <br /><br />Hand sanitizer will be available for customer use. <br /><br />We will be disinfecting our counter area between customers, and cleaning high contact areas like door handles, railings, etc frequently throughout the day.<br /><br />Markers (moose tracks, of course) are being placed throughout the shop to encourage social distancing, and signage will be hung to remind customers to stay 6 ft away from others.<br />
<br />
We understand that even with increased safety measures in place, some of our valued customers will prefer to use contact-free curbside pick-up. We will continue to offer this service for as long as needed, and of course, shipping will also be available for our out-of-town customers.<br /><br />Thank you to all of our loyal customers who have supported us over the last 2 months during the closure. We look forward to seeing you all soon.<br />

<br />A message to our customers who rely on us for your pet's food.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1c1e21; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, system-ui, ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px;">

We know your pet's health is important and that continuity in their diet is essential. We have a plan in place to get us all through these challenging times. A little bit of pre-planning now will help mitigate disruption should we experience temporary closure or supply chain issues.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1c1e21; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, system-ui, ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">

Firstly, if you need pet food but find yourself self-quarantined due to possible exposure to COVID-19, you are exhibiting symptom<span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline; font-family: inherit;">s, or have a compromised immune system, we have a plan. We can accommodate NO-CONTACT purchasing of your pet food and have several options available to get your pet's food to you safely. Please call us at 613-332-1196 or text 613-334-0285 if you are in need of NO-CONTACT assistance.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1c1e21; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, system-ui, ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">

<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px;">
Second, if you are in a position where you can purchase a bulk supply of your pet's food in advance and you wish to do so, now is the time to let us know. If you would like to place a bulk order please contact us before March 19.</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
We place orders frequently based on our usual customer needs. We do not have extra inventory on hand to accommodate large purchases that are well beyond what you would normally purchase. To ensure we have pet food available for all of our customers, we ask that you contact us in advance if you need a larger than normal quantity of food.</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Finally, if we do find ourselves in a position where we have to shut down for a few weeks, we will do our best to ensure that no-contact pick-ups/drop-offs can be accommodated and that we will have a reasonable inventory available to get us all through.</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
With a bit of preparation, we can all navigate these challenging times.</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">

<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
