Enquire for other locations. Generally the medium and large harps must be picked up at one of the shipping terminals listed above. West Coast Harps may use alternate airline carriers to locations in Northern Canada including the Yukon YT, The Northwest Territories NT, and Nunavut NU.

Shipping by Airlines

West Coast Harps may use alternate airline carriers to locations across Canada or in the North including the Yukon YT, The Northwest Territories NT, and Nunavut NU. Shipping charges are higher [actual cost] and West Coast Harps charges an additional CAD$120 plus taxes packing and handling fee. A custom carton is usually used for this purpose and West Coast Harps ensure all the carton surfaces are triple walled and strong. Contact Alison if you wish to know more...

Shipping Insurance for Small, Medium and Large Floor Harps

All insurances offered cover damages due to shipping related mechanical and handling excesses or loss during transit. West coast Harps cannot, however, insure for harp damage due to extreme temperatures during shipping. This unfortunately is an industry standard practice. We recommend using our heated shipping in certain months due to Canadian climatic extremes. We sometimes delay mid-summer shipments during heatwaves. The West Coast Harps custom shipping chest is designed to ameliorate all short to medium term temperature changes giving your harp the most luxurious ride possible. Industry/ harpmaker's experience shows that cold temperatures are generally not of concern when shipping harps. We prefer to ship in heated vans and use a heated warehouse network as a precaution. Enquire if you have a concern.

We always ship insured as above by Canada Post and the major airlines. We usually ship larger harps with Sameday Right-O-Way insured to any of their terminals [Sameday Centre Locator]. Shipments with Sameday affiliate and other LTL freight carriers are always uninsured.

Warranty Coverage After Shipping

Once your harp is accepted and you have released the empty West Coast Harps shipping chest for its prepaid return to Victoria, your harp is subsequently covered under the new harp warranties and guarantees of the respective harpmaker or as per the West Coast Harps used harp warranty. Consigned harps are sold on an "as is" basis.
