Canadian Pricing for Canadian Customers
West Coast Harps endeavours to be price competitive with
your purchasing direct from the harpmaker in the USA. We
handle all the importation issues including brokerage fees
and other hidden costs while pricing in CAD$. This gives complete certainty of your total cost. Another advantage we offer is that
West Coasters can come and try the harp prior to purchase.
Each harp is usually "seasoned" in that it is kept in
tune while in our studio allowing the strings to settle
into pitch. Nylon strings take a while to stop "stretching".
Minor tuning bugs and buzzes are also corrected. This is
an added service over direct purchase from the USA.
West Coast Harps has added USD$ pricing on our "No Frills" Solo Harpsicle Series of harps for those customers who wish to have the lowest possible prices bar none through direct purchase.
Email WYSIWYG Quotes
[What you see is what you get]. All the floor harps for sale on
our website and our email WYSIWYG Quotes are
listed in Canadian Dollars [CAD$]. There are no financial
surprises once you receive your personal email quote as a
Canadian purchaser. No additional border, freight, taxation costs or misapplied duties to pay. Email WYSIWYG Quotes are fixed for 30 days
for current stock including shipping costs and are subject to the continued
availability of the harp for sale. All website listed prices
subject to change without notice. We do not reserve harps
without your commitment to pay in a timely fashion. The WYSIWYG
Quote assumes the shipped harp will be collected from the
specified shipping terminus in a timely fashion as additional
late pick-up/storage fees are your care.
WYSIWYG Custom Order Quotes for non-stocked harps are valid for 7 days given the extreme currency fluctuations we are currently experiencing.
West Coast Harps does not offer WYSIWYG Quotes for the "No Frills" Harpsicle Series.
Check out our pitch about the benefits of purchasing in Canada through West Coast Harps.
No Border Brokerage Fees for Canadian Customers
All West Coast Harps floor harp and package harp shipments to Canadian customers originate
from our Victoria BC Canada studio and are, therefore,
not "brokered" through the USA border after we ship to you. You pay zero border brokerage fees with a
West Coast Harps purchase as a Canadian customer. This
can be a considerable saving. For comparison purposes the UPS Canada brokerage fees are the least expensive for USA sourced shipments from other harp sales outlets. A significant number of harp shipments from the USA have additional misapplied duties made payable too irrespective of payment method. West Coast Harps does not ship with UPS. Nor does West Coast Harps dropship harps from the USA. We inspect every harp we sell in our Victoria studio first before shipping to you as a quality assurance.
West Coast Harps does not offer price certainty for the "No Frills" Harpsicle Series as the shipping conditions vary beyond our control.
Non-Canadian Customers
West Coast Harps does not normally ship small, medium or
large floor harps outside of Canada. The exception being
for the online Solo Harpsicle Series sales. If you are interested
in one of our Solo Harpsicles Series, and live in the Continental USA, please use our No Frills Order Form.

receiving delivery of the custom ordered harp.
Canada GST, HST, Provincial & USA State Sales Taxes
GST [5%] or HST [13% in participating provinces] apply for sales in Canada. British Columbia residents are subject to provincial sales
tax [7% BC PST]. There is a significant saving for many out-of-BC
purchasers as no other provincial sales taxes will be applied against the purchase.
[Those who choose to purchase direct from the sales outlets in the
USA will be subject to provincial sales taxes on any goods handled
by Canada Customs plus substantial brokerage fees from the
cross border freight/ courier company involved.]
USA buyers resident in Indiana who buy Solo Harpsicle Series harps online are subject to SST [6%]. All other Continental USA residents pay no taxes on Solo Harpsicles.
