Frequently Asked Questions
Can I choose items that are not available at the store where I'm picking up my order?
Yes. Items in stock at other store locations can be transferred and held for you. This generally takes 2–4 days. Please be aware that items sourcing from our partner warehouses can take up to 2 weeks to arrive and may be delayed further due to shipping carrier disruptions.
What if I'm unable to pick up my order?
If you are unable to pick up your order after eight days from the time we notified you that your order was ready, we will refund the order and restock the product to our inventory.
Can I place a store pick up order by phone?
Not at this time. An email address and mobile phone are necessary to receive notifications and complete your order.
Can I make changes to my online order after it's been placed?
You may cancel your order if it is still being processed by logging into your Powell's account and going to Status of Current Orders.
Unfortunately, we cannot accommodate other order changes, such as adding items, once your order has been placed.
Can I make changes to my order when I’m picking it up?
We're sorry, but to ensure a speedy pick-up process, we cannot make order additions or substitutions at the time of pick up.
