When you browse the website and add products to your cart, the prices are constantly updating in the background based on live market fluctuations. The only time that product prices are held static for you is when you have proceeded to the CHECKOUT page. At this point, you have 10 minutes to complete the checkout with prices being static. If you do not successfully checkout within the 10 minute time period, prices will be auto-refreshed based on the latest pricing.
No. Unlike purchasing gold & silver from ‘the bank’ or some other bullion dealers, there is no commission added to the bullion price. Our prices already include our premium.
NO! Pure Silver and Pure Gold Bullion (.999+) are tax exempt in Canada. We only sell Gold & Silver products that have a minimum of .999 purity, so your order is not taxed.
Yes. You will be required to register an account with us to submit orders on the Ottawa Bullion Wholesale platform. Note: The Local Ottawa Bullion RETAIL website (www.ottawabullion.com) still does not require an account to be set up, only for an appointment to be booked.
All orders with us require a 2 step payment process. The following two unique payments are required:
STEP 1. – DEPOSIT ( Interac e-Transfer)
During the checkout process, you will be shown your PENDING ORDER total and then 2% Deposit required immediately to secure your price and make your order official. This 2% deposit must be send to us by Interac e-Transfer (Email Money Transfer). Instructions will be provided on how and where to send the Interac e-Transfer to when you initiate the order by clicking the “PAY DEPOSIT – SUBMIT ORDER” at the bottom of the checkout. An Itemized invoice and Deposit payment instructions will also be sent to you by email. The deposit must be sent immediately and received by us within 1 hour of initiating the order.
STEP 2. – BALANCE Remaining (Bill Payment or Wire Transfer)
Once we’ve received your 2% Deposit transfer, we’ll update your order status and send you a revised invoice by email showing the remaining 98% balance that needs to be paid. For this Final balance payment, you can pay us with either an online Bill Payment, or a Wire Transfer. For More info on how to send us one of these two types of payments, please click HERE
We require our clients to send the final Balance payment wire transfer or bill-payment within 24 hours (1 business day) of order confirmation. We require the payment to be fully RECEIVED within 48 hours (2 business days) of order confirmation. Therefore, we firmly recommend that you send your payment the same day (next business day), in order to ensure that it arrives within the allotted time.
Important Note: It is the responsibility of the client to be aware of the typical delays associated with any particular payment method and by the banking institution(s) used to send it. In order to prevent order cancellation and forfeiture of your deposit, we highly recommend that you contact your bank before placing an order to confirm the payment process & delays for your planned method of payment.
We hedge all of our bullion. When you place an order with us, we take out a position in the market, exposing us to price movements within that market. The 2 % deposit we require partially protects us against market losses in the event of non-payment of the order. Due to the non-refundable nature of the deposits we require, our clients are provided upfront notice of their order obligations and consequences should they fail to meet those obligations. Please note that once an order has been executed, it cannot be reversed. Should you voluntarily want to cancel your order, or fail to remit payment with the allotted time, you will forfeit your deposit entirely and may be charged additional market-loss fees.
