Terms & Conditions
Pricing
We make every effort to keep our prices low and to offer the best value possible. Pricing is based on current market value for products, which is subject to change, and you can count on us to reflect price decreases as soon as they take effect.
List Prices
Prices on office supply items are the same across Canada.
Taxes
Prices quoted exclude taxes. Provincial, Federal and Harmonized taxes will be added to purchases where applicable. For orders shipped in New Brunswick and Newfoundland, the Harmonized Sales Tax will apply.
HST (Harmonized Sales Tax)
Ontario & British Columbia
The Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) will apply at a rate of 13% in
Ontario and 12% in British Columbia (consisting of a 5% federal
component and an 8% or 7% provincial component, respectively).
The applicable HST taxes will be applied to all invoices including
point-of-sale purchases (other than zero-rated products). Where
products are exempt from the provincial component (7% or 8%), the
HST rate on the invoice will reflect 5% only.
The Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) will apply at a rate of 15% in Nova
Scotia (consisting of a 5% federal component and a 10% provincial
component). The same exemptions will apply as in
Ontario and British Columbia.

Should an item become unavailable, we reserve the right to replace the item with a comparable substitution of equal or greater value.

Payment Terms and Leasing Options
If you are a registered business customer, not paying by credit card, the following options are available. Payment terms are 'NET' 30 days from date of invoice. Invoices unpaid by the due date are subject to a late payment charge and may also result in delayed delivery of subsequent orders. If you do not have an account with us, payment by major credit card (VISA, American Express, MasterCard) must accompany the order. Payment terms are subject to change without notice.

Damaged Goods and Shortages
In case of damage or shortage in shipments, note the discrepancy on the bill of lading/packing slip before signing for receipt of the order and notify Grand & Toy immediately with a copy of the bill of lading/packing slip. Notification must be reported within 30 days of shipment. Where there is concealed damage, retain the packaging for inspection. For shipments delivered by a courier or freight company, report the claim to the carrier and obtain an inspection report. Notify Grand & Toy and we will cooperate to help you secure a satisfactory adjustment.
Deliveries
Orders below $50 (before taxes, coupons or price matches) are subject to a handling fee. Orders are shipped pending credit approval and product availability. Orders placed outside of local trading areas will have a separate delivery charge based on the weight and delivery distance of the order. We observe many federal and provincial holidays across Canada.
Unless an order is specifically exempt, this fee will be charged to all customers and appear on invoices as a separate line item. Both GST and provincial sales taxes will apply. Individual order size and delivery location have no bearing on the surcharge and regular delivery terms still apply.
The following is a listing of order types that are exempt from the surcharge:
- In-store purchases made at a retail location (non-delivered orders)
- Backorders, Order Corrections, Orders for Pick-Up and No Charge Orders
- Special orders shipped directly to the customer from the supplier
- Orders that already have an 'order handling charge' applied.
Minimum Order, Handling, Installation & Assembly Charges
To help mitigate the negative environmental impacts of frequent, small deliveries, orders less than $50 (before taxes, coupons, price matches and other fees) are subject to a $5 handling fee for Account Holders and $15 for non Account Holders. For more information on our Minimum Order policy, including information on how to keep your orders above $50 click here. On all furniture orders under $200 'NET' before taxes, a $10 handling charge applies (some items are exempt). An installation and assembly charge may apply on furniture installations. On items for which assembly is requested, an assembly charge will apply. Please contact your nearest Grand & Toy location or Account Manager for details.
