Notes for Canadian Shoppers on Etsy
If trying to check out from the Olive Sparrow on Etsy you will see a $999 shipping charge because since July 1, 2022 Etsy is refusing to allow HST registered sellers to collect ACCURATE HST/GST/PST (provincially regulated sales taxes) on orders.

They have abandoned the tax calculation tool that allowed correct taxation in the past. Their suggestion is to increase prices by 20% to include tax. However, how would that work since in Canada taxes vary by province? Although many vendors have increase their prices up to 20%, I do not think that is fair to you as you will be paying more than the cost of goods.

———————————————

The only working solution I’ve found is for you to please message me with a list of items or screenshots of what you wish to purchase and I will send you a link to a custom listing on Etsy.

Shipping within Canada is generally between $12-24 — and all overages are refunded (you are only charged actual shipping costs). Larger orders will be adjusted in the custom listing. I am happy to give you a closer estimate if you send me a list of items you are considering.

Please share with them that eliminating their Tax Tool for HST registered vendors means that customers are not charged their correct provincial taxes.
