Ordering, Payment, Prices & Shipping
Payment
Canadian customers may pay by personal cheque, bank draft or bank wire transfer. U.S.A. customers may pay in U.S. dollars by personal cheque or bank draft, or wire transfer in Canadian dollars. I am currently accepting the U.S. dollar at par with the Canaidan Dollar. Overseas customers may pay in Canadian dollars by Bank Wire Transfer, International Bank Draft or International Bank Cheque. Please note that International Bank Cheques must have the bank routing numbers imprinted along the bottom or I cannot accept it as payment.
Wire transfer is a quick and cost-effective way to transfer money, and my Bank Wire Information Sheet has all the info needed for your bank to effect the transfer. 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. Please make all payments out to “Larry Fisher”. Payments may be mailed to:632 Ross Ave.

Prices
All prices on this website are quoted in Canadian Dollars, my home currency. However, U.S. Dollars are currently accepted at par (ie: The price listed on the website is the same for U.S. and for Canadian payments) .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.
Please contact me for a shipping quote for your specific destination.
Fisher Harps
Ordering
My waiting list is currently about six months long. Harps are generally made to order, and require a $1,000 non-refundable deposit to be added to the wait list. 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. An Order Confirmation will be sent to you after I receive your contact information, order specifications and your deposit. If you cannot decide on wood or accessories at the moment, then just send in your contact information and the deposit and I will e-mail or phone you a couple months before beginning construction to confirm your choices. The Order Confirmation will detail the approximate completion date for your harp as well as a quote for shipping the harp to your desired destination.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.
