Is your school or centre limited as to when it can receive goods?

Rates
Within Toronto, Durham, Peel and York, all orders will be charged 12% of the product total for freight. Orders to all other destinations will be billed at 15%. For orders less than $300, a $15 Shipping & Handling charge will be added to your invoice. All orders under $100 will be quoted freight and handling charges before shipping.
For orders over $3,000 please call our customer service department for a freight quote, which may be less than our advertised rate.
Freight carriers deliver only to the front or back door of your institution. If you require goods delivered to a classroom, or if your destination is difficult to access, such as on the second floor, please notify Customer Service at the time you place the order. There may be a small surcharge levied by the carrier, particularly if the shipment contains furniture or equipment. We will be glad to provide a quote for your approval.
All freight charges beyond Provincial forwarding points are the responsibility of the customer. Please call for a freight quote.
From time to time, we may ship an item directly from the manufacturer. Freight will be billed at the normal rate in this event.
When gas prices rise some carriers levee a “gas surcharge”. We reserve the right to add this cost to your invoice, but will only do so if it is absolutely necessary.
