What is the difference between a Pending/Preauthorized Transaction and a Posted Transaction?

A Pending Transaction is one that you have made with your Credit Card or your Card number which has not yet posted to your Account. When you make a Pending Transaction, the Available Credit on your Account is automatically reduced by the amount of that transaction. It usually takes 3 to 5 business days for the Pending Transaction to post to your Account. A Posted Transaction is one that you have made with your Credit Card or your Card number and that has posted your Account.

Arc’teryx restrictions on commercial quantity purchases

To ensure that the majority of purchases made are for the end user we will be actively restricting with suspected intent of on selling goods.

The reason behind this is to ensure that the purchase of commercial quantities in core items do not erode the availability and store experience of our intended guests.

This policy applies to all current and future Arc’teryx stores including but not limited to, Chadstone, Emporium, Websites, The Iconic and Moorabbin Outlet.

This policy only applies to those who are suspected on-sellers, if the guest is clearly buying for themselves use discretion to increase the quantities as appropriate.

All stores are to keep a log of suspected commercial transactions including names and items purchased.

Restrictions apply to purchases made by person(s), household, group, credit card or other forms of payment.  The following restrictions for all of the above are;

  • Two items of any model in any calendar month. Model is exclusive of gender and inclusive of colour.  EG: a customer or group can purchase two Women’s Atom LT Hoody and two Men’s Atom LT Hoody but cannot purchase two units of Men’s Atom LT Hoody in Black and two units of Men’s Atom LT Hoody in Kingfisher.
  • Any other repeat purchase patterns which may represent more than normal personal use.
Does Arc’teryx offer exchanges?

Instead of a direct exchange, we offer a return and re-order policy for purchases through our online store. This entails returning your current product for a refund, and placing an order for a new product. All we ask is that your current product be returned within 60 days of the original purchase and be in new condition with the original packaging.

Refunds may take between 5-7 business days to process once the item has been delivered to our warehouse. Visit our Returns & Refunds page to start the return process.
