Taps offers numerous ways to order products. You may order directly on-line through our Internet Store, by email, by mail order, by fax or by phone. If you cannot find what you are looking for in our current Internet Store, please contact us by email, phone or fax. Describe your requirements so that we can reply promptly with additional product information, availability and pricing.
Catalogue Orders
If you are ordering products from our catalogue, the procedure is easy and automated. We use a "virtual shopping cart" system which allows you to browse or search our catalogue and add items you find to your personal shopping cart with just a few clicks of your mouse. You can add or remove items from your list at any time. You are in full control of the process and can change your mind about any item at any time.
The shopping cart can also be used to as personal reference list. You can add items to your shopping cart then save the shopping cart so that it will be there next time you return to our Internet Store.
Once you are satisfied with the products in your shopping cart, proceed to the secure ordering process where you choose the ordering or quotation method best suited to your needs.
For credit card orders, information is processed in a secure server and uses the secure encryption capabilities of your browser to protect your private data. Customers that do not want to supply personal or business data over the Internet can print out the order form for faxing or mailing to us. The printed form will include all the order information about the products you have selected; you just have to add the shipping address and payment information; then mail or fax the form.
For a step-by-step description of the procedures for selecting and ordering products from our catalogue, refer to Help using the Internet Store

Taps collects GST and PST for orders shipped to addresses in the province of Ontario. For Canadian Shipments outside of Ontario only GST is collected. These taxes are automatically calculated on-line for you to review prior to placing your Internet order.
Taps does not collect sales tax on orders delivered to the US.
For deliveries to the US, shipping costs are automatically included in our Internet store quotation, but brokerage and duty are not included. With free trade most of our products are shipped to the US with little or no duty. However, some products manufactured outside North America may carry a duty charge of up to 10% for US destinations. This charge along with the brokerage is collected by the shipper and is not included in the Taps standard Internet quotation. If you require a quotation for duty and brokerage prior to ordering, please use the Quotation feature of our Internet Store and state your requirements in the special instructions area.
