SHIPPING & HANDLING

​

The buyer pays the shipping, handling as well as insurance for their purchases. The buyer is responsible for any and all duties, fees, such as brokerage fees, customs fees, etc. We recommend that all shipments be insured. Should a buyer request an item be shipped un-insured, those instructions must be received in writing prior to shipping, at which point Ernest Johnson Antiques will in no way be held responsible for any loss or damage to that item while when shipped or in transit to the buyer.

​

International clients are tax-exempt on goods shipped out of the country. Ontario residents are subject to 13% HST on goods & services purchased. Canadian residents living outside of the Province of Ontario are subject to 5% GST and/or HST on goods purchased (as it applies to their province). Where applicable, paperwork for antique items will be marked "100 years of age", however, the seller is not responsible for any duties or fees levied by customs brokers regarding the items final destination, which will be clearly stated on the bill of sale and on all shipping documents.
We will do our best to ship items within 5 business days from the date payment is received, however, some delays may occur.
