Payment procedures, Price list and Shipping
Paying for your order
Once I receive your Order Form, I calculate your total cost (eg. any discounts, shipping etc.) and send you an invoice through PayPal. If you are a Canadian customer, I also include instructions on how to pay using INTERAC (online banking).
When I receive notification that your payment has been made, your order will be shipped.
Canadian families pay in Canadian dollars using the INTERAC feature of online banking, or PayPal.
American and International families pay in American dollars through PayPal.
Community Organizations, Schools and Not-for-Profits pay by cheque. I invoice you directly (in Canadian or US funds) so your finance department can handle the payment.
PayPal allows you to use your credit card of choice or the balance in your PayPal account. If you don't have a PayPal account, signing up is easy. Go to www.paypal.com (opens new window), click on Sign Up, select Personal then Get Started. Fill in your email, name, address and phone number then click Create Account and you're done.

Calculating shipping charges
Your order will be shipped from Canadian postal code L4C 3C9 in Richmond Hill, Ontario, Canada.
All orders shipped within Canada are shipped with tracking numbers.
If you are in Canada, 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.
If you are in the USA, the shipping cost right now is $6.94 for packages under 0.25 kg (e.g. a Child Harness), $9.21 for packages 0.25 kg or over (e.g. Child-to-Adult Harness) and $14.29 for parcels over 0.50 kg (e.g. 2 Safety Harnesses).
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 Business
- 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: 9.5" long, 7" wide, 1" high, 0.13kg weight
- for a Child-to-Adult Harness, enter the dimensions: 12" long, 9" wide, 1" high, 0.27kg weight
- for two Child-to-Adult Harnesses, enter the dimensions: 14.5" long, 10.5" wide, 1" high, 0.54kg weight
- click "Continue" and scroll down to Small Packet Air for your rate
If you need your harness within a certain period of time, I would highly recommend you select the option of "shipping with tracking" when you place your order. You may not receive your package much earlier but at least we will be able to trace it if delivery becomes too overdue.
Shipping times to the USA
Some of my customers tell me when they receive their harness. The travel times below were for packages sent by regular air mail, but of course there is no guarantee they will be duplicated. Every parcel must pass through Customs and the girls at the post office always tell me delivery will be "within 2 weeks":
| Regular airmail shipping to: | Number of days | ||
|
Alabama California Florida Georgia Idaho Indiana Kentucky Maryland Michigan Minnesota New Hampshire New York Ohio Oklahoma Oregon Pennsylvalia Washington |
6 9 8 - 14 7 7 11 5 - 7 4 - 8 7 5 6 5 - 7 5 - 8 6 - 7 6 - 9 6 - 7 7 - 10 |
