Payment Procedures, Price list, Taxes and Shipping on your order from Childharness.ca
I ship across Canada, the USA and to Australia, Europe and the UK.
Everyone pays in Canadian dollars. Schools, ISDs and community organizations in the USA who cannot pay online using a credit card can pay by cheque in American dollars.
Written estimates are provided if you need to generate a Purchase Order first.
Canadian customers; your provincial sales tax will be added to your order.
I pay taxes in the jurisdiction where I'm located. I do not collect taxes on orders outside Canada because I do not pay taxes to governments outside Canada.
Pay for your Order using PayPal or INTERAC
Once I receive your order,
- I calculate your total cost, including shipping, handling, and any discounts
- I send you an email confirming your order
- my confirmation email includes payment instructions
- Canadian customers also receive instructions how to pay using INTERAC (online banking)
- you will also receive a seperate email direct from PayPal. This is my invoice for your order.
- I confirm receipt of your payment, whether your funds arrived from PayPal or INTERAC
- Community Organizations, Schools and ISDs located in the USA have the ability to pay my PayPal invoice using their credit card. However, if this is not possible, I will invoice you directly after your order is shipped so your finance department can generate my cheque (payable in US dollars) once your order is received. See Ordering Instructions for Community Organizations, Schools and ISDs for more information
Price List
10% discount applies to your entire order when you order 2 or more harnesses.

Shipping Charges
Your order will be shipped from Canadian postal code L4C 3C9 in Richmond Hill, Ontario, Canada.
If you are in Canada, your order will be shipped by Canada Post and the shipping cost depends on the destination postal code so you (or I) must use the Canada Post rate calculator to figure out your charges.
I can calculate your shipping charges for you or you can use Canada Post's rate calculator for Small Businesses as follows:
- go to www.canadapost.ca (opens new window)
- click on English or French, then click on Business (right hand side menu)
- click on "Find a Rate"
- the "From" postal code is L4C 3C9
- enter the postal code/American State/Country to which the harness will be mailed and click "Continue"
- for a Child Harness, enter the dimensions: 27cm long, 20cm wide, 4cm high, 0.2kg weight
- for a Child-to-Adult Harness, enter the dimensions: 31cm long, 23cm wide, 4cm high, 0.49kg weight
- for two Child-to-Adult Harnesses, enter the dimensions: 33cm long, 25cm wide, 4cm high, 0.6kg weight
- click "Continue"
- where it says "Join VentureOne to save on Shipping!" click on "Show Savings"
- scroll down to see the cost of your shipping options
If you are in the USA you have the option of using Canada Post or Purolator courier.
If you need your harness within a certain period of time, I would highly recommend you select the option of "Purolator Ground" when you place your order. This courier service is fast, reliable and comparable in price to the not-so-fast, not-so-reliable Canada Post "shippping with tracking".
Shipping times to the USA
Canada Post Regular airmail ($) is shipping with no tracking number. Delivery is supposed to be "within 2 weeks" but it can be any length of time up to and exceeding a month. If your package is not received within 45 days, Canada Post will initiate a trace. I question the effectiveness of a trace on a package with no tracking number, but anyway, such is their policy. I have had difficulty with Washington State and Louisiana for regular airmail deliveries taking longer than 2 weeks, i.e. 35 days for Washington, 27 days for Louisiana.
Maine is a black hole for mail. I will only ship to Maine by tracking number.
Canada Post Shipping with tracking ($$) has improved greatly since the end of 2010. This service is fast and reliable and very close to the estimated times of delivery on the Canada Post website. However, delivery still relies on Customs and the delivery times are not guaranteed. But compared to previous years, this service is worth the extra money and the majority of my customers ask to have their order shipped with tracking.
Purolator Ground with tracking ($$) is comparable to Canada Post in price but superior in service. It costs about $4 more but is much faster and much more reliable than Canada Post Shipping with tracking.
Purolator Express ($$$) is airmail with tracking and a guaranteed delivery time. Their rates are about half what Fed Ex charges for the same service, which is why I have discontinued using Fed Ex through Canada Post for my rush orders.
