Payment
Canadian customers may pay by PayPal, personal cheque, bank draft or bank wire transfer. Out-of-country customers may pay by PayPal, International Bank Draft (sent by registered mail or courier) or by bank wire transfer. If you would like to pay by credit card, bank card (where available) or from your PayPal account, I can send you an invoice from my PayPal Merchant Account which you may pay securely online. If you have any questions about payment options, please contact me for details.
Wire transfer is a quick and cost-effective way to transfer money. My Bank Wire Information Sheet has all the info needed for your bank to effect the transfer, and I will send you this sheet by e-mail (as a PDF file) upon request, and you can print it out and give it to your bank teller when requesting the transfer. Note: Some banks are not used to sending wire transfers and will attempt to tell you that my Bank Wire Information is insufficient for them to do so. Rest assured that all information that I provide comes directly from my bank manager, and is accurate and complete, and is successfully used all the time by my customers from around the world. You may need to find another way to transfer the money if the bank gives you a hassle.Please make all payments out to “Larry Fisher”. Payments may be mailed to:632 Ross Ave.

Prices
Prices on this website are based on Canadian Dollars, my home currency. I can quote prices and be paid in other currencies such as the U.S. Dollar, Euro, Pound Sterling, etc. at the prevailing exchange rate at the time. Confirmed orders will have the agreed-upon-prices fixed at the outset, and those prices will not change before the harp is completed and you receive the final invoice. Packing & Shipping
The harp will be professionally packed in a padded, double-walled cardboard box, the harp in it's soft case first being wrapped in bubble pack. If shipping the harp in the Colorado Case, the harp in it's soft case will be nestled inside the Colorado Case, and then the case will be covered in cardboard for protection. If the harp ever needed to be shipped anywhere after you purchase it, these containers are the best way transport it safely. For shipment within North America, FedEx Ground is my preferred carrier, and all harps bound for the U.S.A. have the U.S. Customs clearance charges included in the freight charges. There is no duty on harps, but there might be a state sales tax, and if so, you'll get a bill in the mail from your state tax authority sometime later. If the harp is to be shipped to the U.S.A., I will need the Social Security Number of the recipient for U.S. Customs clearance.
For air cargo shipments overseas, I use the services of a freight forwarder to find the most cost-effective and efficient method of transporting the harp to your destination. All freight quotes are from the Winnipeg Airport to your nearest airport. Home delivery can be arranged at additional cost. All customs clearance fees, duties and taxes are your responsibility upon the harp's arrival in your country. Generally, most people can do the customs clearance run-around themselves and save some money over having a customs broker do it for you.
Ordering
My wait list at the moment is about six to seven months long. Harps are generally made to order, and if you are interested in having me build you a harp, please send me an e-mail or fill out the Contact Form on the 'Contact' page with your mailing address, phone number and as much information as you can about the kind of wood you wish your harp to be made from and any accessories desired. I can then send you a Quotation Form so you can see what you're looking at regarding pricing, shipping, payment, etc. A deposit of C$1,000 will secure your place on the shop schedule. An order confirmation will be sent to you after I receive your contact information, order specifications and your deposit. Once I've begun construction of your harp, I will e-mail you an invitation to view the progress pictures on my Google Picasa web albums site. Harps generally take about a month to build, including some 'tweaking' and playing-in time. Once the strings go on, I will e-mail you the final invoice so that you may arrange the payment of the balance. The harp must be paid for before it can be shipped.
