BC Robotics sends email to customers and users during the course processing requests and transactions.
  • Customers will receive an email confirming the order, a receipt from the payment gateway of choice (if applicable), and a notification when the order has been shipped. If there is an issue shipping the order, an item on backorder preventing it from being shipped, or any other issues surrounding the order we may also send an email.
  • When signing up for an account or requesting a password reset, an email will be sent with instructions to the address provided.
