Here is a list of Frequently Asked Questions. We hope this helps you find the answer quickly.
ABOUT THE STORE
How long has the Lax Shack been in business?
We’ve been diligently serving customers since 1998. That means if you’re in your last year of Junior lacrosse, our doors opened about the same time you were born. That’s a long time. And in that time, we’ve built a solid customer base and helped thousands of customers. We enjoy talking about ourselves - if you want to find out more Click here.
Is it safe to pay with my credit card?
We do not handle any credit card information – that is all done through our secure payment processor. Moneris and Shopify Payments are the best in the business. Our site is SSL Secure. That means, it activates the padlock and the https protocol and allows secure connections from a web server to a browser. Typically, SSL is used to secure credit card transactions, data transfer and logins.
