About the Brand

In 1988, Drolet was a pioneer in the development of low-emission products. The HT-2000 is the first EPA / CSA-certified appliance and has literally become a legend in the wood-burning world! Over the next few years, a whole series of "HT" products were developed and met with huge success.

Over the years, environmental standards have been tightened more and more to reduce the emissions of fine particles caused by the combustion of wood-burning appliances. Just as innovative as in its beginnings, Drolet is ahead of this wave of change and successfully re-certifies its appliances long before the deadline. It was these changes in standards that led to the creation of the HT-3000, which succeeded the legendary HT-2000.

Synonymous with robustness, reliability, and safety, Drolet's DNA solidifies over time. The new generations can benefit from the same quality as that established by the know-how of F.X. Drolet and his team back in the day. Proudly Canadian, the manufacture of Drolet appliances is now in Saint-Augustin-de-Desmaures, near Quebec City, in a state-of-the-art factory.

Shipping Overview

Orders are processed 7 days a week and shipped Monday through Friday (excluding holidays). We strive to ship your orders as fast as possible; it is possible that your order may ship sooner than estimated. If you order two or more items, you may receive them in multiple boxes on different days because of varying shipping locations.
IMPORTANT: Please note that we cannot ship to a P.O. Box.
During the holidays, shipping delays are generally longer.

Standard Ground Carrier / Parcel shipments

Most parcel shipments will be expedited within 24 hours of open business hours and do not require signature upon delivery. We offer two shipping options standard and express. Standard shipping delays average between (3 to 5) business days, remote areas in North America rarely exceed (10) days. Express delays average (2 to 3) business days. We cannot guarantee express shipping delays, as this is a service provided by an outside transport service. Refunds are not eligible for expedited shipping delays due to acts of nature outside of our control. We use FedEx, UPS and Dicom depending on pick-up time and delivery location. We cannot guarantee which service provider will be used before an order is processed.
Because express delivery service involves air transport, some items cannot be shipped via this option. Items containing hazardous or regulated materials, or some very large or heavy items must be shipped to you via freight carrier.

Curbside Freight Shipments

Heating appliances ship via tractor trailer and are limited to a curbside delivery. Freight carriers are specially trained and equipped to handle over sized and fragile items safely and efficiently. Please refer to the steps below to know what to expect for the delivery service.

Step 1 – Within 24 hours after your order is shipped you will receive a confirmation email providing tracking information.

Step 2 – Once the shipment has arrived at your local freight terminal, transport will call you to schedule a delivery appointment. Appointments are made Mondays – Fridays and you are usually given a 4-hours window to expect delivery during business hours. It is important that the phone number provided when ordering is a working number to contact you.

Step 3 – Curb side delivery completion – The driver will arrive with a lift-gate truck (truck sizes vary) and will lower the appliance onto the ground at the edge of your driveway. Due to company policy the driver is not authorized to move it further. Curbside delivery service does not include set up or assembly of items or removal of packaging materials, nor does it include bringing the items inside the home.

Step 4 – Upon delivery, you will need to inspect and sign a Proof of Delivery Receipt for the shipment. Check for visible damage and if any damage is seen make sure that it is noted on the delivery receipt and take pictures of the damage. You have the right to refuse the delivery due to damage shown. For all transport damage issues please contact us immediately.

Address Changes

Addresses can be updated by contacting us via telephone (833) 419-1774, at no additional cost before the order has been shipped. Once the order has shipped the freight carrier will charge an additional fee to update the delivery address. This charge can be very expensive, make sure to verify the address when you receive your order confirmation. Shipping is unavailable to P.O. Boxes.

Items with no availability

If the item you need is unavailable, an estimated date of delivery will be communicated to you. You will be able to place your order and we will deliver your item at the date promised. If you order multiple items at the same time, they will be automatically grouped. Their delivery date will be the date of the item with the latest estimated ship date. If you wish to have some items delivered immediately, we recommend that you perform two separate transactions. This way, available items will be delivered immediately. Any out-of-stock item will be delivered later, at the date communicated to you.

Shipping damages

Drolet is responsible for covering shipping damage by providing the correct replacement parts to the customer at no charge. However, Drolet's liability is limited to shipping damage and will not cover any other damage such as costs incurred for installation being delayed or canceled. Claims related to shipping damage must be submitted within 30 days of the delivery date with according proof.

About the Brand

In 1988, Drolet was a pioneer in the development of low-emission products. The HT-2000 is the first EPA / CSA-certified appliance and has literally become a legend in the wood-burning world! Over the next few years, a whole series of "HT" products were developed and met with huge success.

Over the years, environmental standards have been tightened more and more to reduce the emissions of fine particles caused by the combustion of wood-burning appliances. Just as innovative as in its beginnings, Drolet is ahead of this wave of change and successfully re-certifies its appliances long before the deadline. It was these changes in standards that led to the creation of the HT-3000, which succeeded the legendary HT-2000.

Synonymous with robustness, reliability, and safety, Drolet's DNA solidifies over time. The new generations can benefit from the same quality as that established by the know-how of F.X. Drolet and his team back in the day. Proudly Canadian, the manufacture of Drolet appliances is now in Saint-Augustin-de-Desmaures, near Quebec City, in a state-of-the-art factory.

Shipping Overview

Orders are processed 7 days a week and shipped Monday through Friday (excluding holidays). We strive to ship your orders as fast as possible; it is possible that your order may ship sooner than estimated. If you order two or more items, you may receive them in multiple boxes on different days because of varying shipping locations.
IMPORTANT: Please note that we cannot ship to a P.O. Box.
During the holidays, shipping delays are generally longer.

Standard Ground Carrier / Parcel shipments

Most parcel shipments will be expedited within 24 hours of open business hours and do not require signature upon delivery. We offer two shipping options standard and express. Standard shipping delays average between (3 to 5) business days, remote areas in North America rarely exceed (10) days. Express delays average (2 to 3) business days. We cannot guarantee express shipping delays, as this is a service provided by an outside transport service. Refunds are not eligible for expedited shipping delays due to acts of nature outside of our control. We use FedEx, UPS and Dicom depending on pick-up time and delivery location. We cannot guarantee which service provider will be used before an order is processed.
Because express delivery service involves air transport, some items cannot be shipped via this option. Items containing hazardous or regulated materials, or some very large or heavy items must be shipped to you via freight carrier.

Curbside Freight Shipments

Heating appliances ship via tractor trailer and are limited to a curbside delivery. Freight carriers are specially trained and equipped to handle over sized and fragile items safely and efficiently. Please refer to the steps below to know what to expect for the delivery service.

Step 1 – Within 24 hours after your order is shipped you will receive a confirmation email providing tracking information.

Step 2 – Once the shipment has arrived at your local freight terminal, transport will call you to schedule a delivery appointment. Appointments are made Mondays – Fridays and you are usually given a 4-hours window to expect delivery during business hours. It is important that the phone number provided when ordering is a working number to contact you.

Step 3 – Curb side delivery completion – The driver will arrive with a lift-gate truck (truck sizes vary) and will lower the appliance onto the ground at the edge of your driveway. Due to company policy the driver is not authorized to move it further. Curbside delivery service does not include set up or assembly of items or removal of packaging materials, nor does it include bringing the items inside the home.

Step 4 – Upon delivery, you will need to inspect and sign a Proof of Delivery Receipt for the shipment. Check for visible damage and if any damage is seen make sure that it is noted on the delivery receipt and take pictures of the damage. You have the right to refuse the delivery due to damage shown. For all transport damage issues please contact us immediately.

Address Changes

Addresses can be updated by contacting us via telephone (833) 419-1774, at no additional cost before the order has been shipped. Once the order has shipped the freight carrier will charge an additional fee to update the delivery address. This charge can be very expensive, make sure to verify the address when you receive your order confirmation. Shipping is unavailable to P.O. Boxes.

Items with no availability

If the item you need is unavailable, an estimated date of delivery will be communicated to you. You will be able to place your order and we will deliver your item at the date promised. If you order multiple items at the same time, they will be automatically grouped. Their delivery date will be the date of the item with the latest estimated ship date. If you wish to have some items delivered immediately, we recommend that you perform two separate transactions. This way, available items will be delivered immediately. Any out-of-stock item will be delivered later, at the date communicated to you.

Shipping damages

Drolet is responsible for covering shipping damage by providing the correct replacement parts to the customer at no charge. However, Drolet's liability is limited to shipping damage and will not cover any other damage such as costs incurred for installation being delayed or canceled. Claims related to shipping damage must be submitted within 30 days of the delivery date with according proof.
