Payment Policy

  • An invoice will be mailed upon completion of reprographic services for all non-pick-up orders. Orders will be mailed to the customer upon receipt of payment in full.
  • Invoices are due upon receipt. A second notice will be sent out 30 days after invoice date if still unpaid. Government of Ontario collection procedures will be followed if payment is not received 30 days after second notice has been issued.
  • Payment may be made in cash (Canadian dollars) and by debit card in person only. Personal cheque or money order (Canadian dollars) made out to “Minister of Finance” accepted in person or by mail. Visa, Mastercard and American Express accepted in person or by telephone, or through the secure website found at the bottom of your invoice.
  • Payments processed by credit card and subsequently declined by the cardholder will be invoiced directly to the customer.
  • Customers who are picking up their orders will be called or notified by mail when their copies are ready. Orders being picked up must be paid for in full at time of pickup.
  • For all mail out orders over $5.00, a postage and handling charge will be applied to each order. Customers will be charged the actual service cost when they request delivery by other than regular postal service.
  • Pre-payment is accepted only for certification fees. However, to help expedite mail orders, customers may wish to leave a credit card number at the time of ordering. Reproductions will then be mailed immediately, and the cost of the reproductions will be charged to the credit card.
  • Ontario Government ministries and scheduled Agencies may use their Government Purchasing Card, use journal entry or issue purchase orders to cover the costs of their invoices/charges.
