The osCommerce online store platform we have chosen to build our store on allows Johnson Group Online Inc to offer a variety of shipping methods that are built into the store by the store developer. (President of Johnson Group Online Inc., Rod Johnson). As you progress through the shopping cart checkout routine, the store will calculate shipping based on the "Ship To" address entered by you, the buyer from within your account information when you login. This information can be edited at any time prior to your confirmation of the order through your account panel.
The shipping method that you choose should be based on estimated time of delivery and price. This will normally include the processing time of your order and the transit time to your ship to address. Delays can and will occur for any number of reasons and will affect the arrival date of your shipment. All shipping dates are estimates only. Please DO NOT order at the last minute for time sensitive shipments. Johnson Group Online will not be held liable for missed shipment dates because there is no way we can guarrantee such. However, Johnson Group Online will always strive to get our customers their orders in the fastest time possible, but be prepared for possible delays.
The Canada Post, FedEx rates and the UPS rates are live quotes from the respective companies based on the number of products you ordered, weight of the products and method/time of shipment chosen. The order process does not allow for the grouping of individual products into one shipment or box for these shippers. All items ordered will be charged shipping based on shipment of that individual item. Johnson Group Online has attempted to group common products into "Bundles" to allow for reductions in shipping costs. Each of these "Bundles" have their own unique Model# to identify them as a single shipment to the respective shipping companies. If you would like to suggest a particular bundled product selection, please email us and let us know.
Because there are differing maximum allowable weights for different shipping methods, the following rules will apply.
We may set the maximum value of 55 lbs (24.95 kg) per package as requested by our local shipper Fastway Couriers to return a standard normal rate. The Fastway Couriers shipping choice may return a high rate for packages over 55 lbs to dissuade customers from selecting that option. (We hope to fix this bug soon so the option will not show if the product weight is too high.)
When it is possible to do so, we will create bundles of weights up to 150 lbs (68 kg) for FedEx Ground and UPS Standard methods.
In the event that orders of items that are packaged as "Bulk Shipments" only allow for the 'Request FREIGHT or INTERNATIONAL Shipping Quote" choice on the "Choose Shipping Method Page" during the checkout of your shopping cart, the following policy will be followed. In this case the staff at Johnson Group Online will manually request quotes on your behalf and send a rate for shipping quote to you by email. The email will contain options to complete the payment so the order can be shipped. If the rates quoted for shipping are declined by the customer or no response has been received within 2 business days, we will attempt to make contact by phone. If we still cannot contact the customer, the product payment will be returned or cancelled as it is deemed applicable by Johnson Group Online and the order will be cancelled.
The Fastway/ Couriers Plus method is available only to selected postal code addresses in southern Ontario. The module should show up automatically. See their website for details.
International Shipment (USA)
In addition to the normal shipping charges, a "Customs, Duty & Brokerage fee" is charged to process your shipment and present your paperwork to customs on your behalf. The customs clearance process requires the broker to perform, on behalf of the importer, a number of tasks including, but not limited to:
- Auditing import documentation.
- Classification of the commodity being imported .
- Preparation and transmission of account information to US Customs .
- Payment of duties and taxes on behalf of the importer.
We will add the appropriate fee (estimated at 5% of the order price) on each order shipped to the USA to cover this cost so you do not need to pay the courier additional fees at the time of delivery.
International Shipments(Outside Canada & USA):
All International orders must be eventually placed online. Sorry, we will not be accepting international orders by phone although phone and email conversations will ultimately lead up to the online sale.
All international orders will be verified through various means prior to accepting of these orders.
No returns accepted on any international order.
All international shipments (excluding the USA) will require 50% payment by wire transfer upon the acceptance of the order by Johnson Group Online and the final 50% of the product order paid by wire transfer prior to shipping.
At this time, all international shipments are EXW (named place) our plant, in compliance with Incoterms 2000).
Customers will need to arrange and pay the separate third parties for all shipping, insurance and all related costs for these orders. Johnson Group Online is not responsible for any taxes, fees, etc. charged by the courier or customs during customer delivery or pickup attempt.
Johnson Group Online may be able to "suggest" a shipping option for these types of orders to ease the process.
