Hold Order:
The maximum hold period for RC-enabled accounts is ten business days. The maximum hold period for Non-RC Enabled Accounts is 20 business days. Upon the maximum hold period expiry, per the General Terms and Conditions, the items on order will be released to inventory. The order is considered forced closed.
HPD considers the Hold Order privilege abused with the third forced closed occurrence per 12-month period. The loss of Hold Order privileges includes the loss of Backorder privileges. Hold Order privileges may be re-instated at the account review date at the discretion of HPD.
Preferred Carrier:
An Account may name any carrier listed by HPD as their preferred carrier. Accounts may also exclude certain carriers from being used. Since total Shipping Discounts only apply to the cheapest carrier, the variance between the cheapest and the preferred carrier will be charged to the account. No additional fees will be charged if the variance is below CAD $10.00. If the variance exceeds a default stopgap amount of CAD $50.00, HPD will not ship with the preferred carrier. Instead, HPD will contact the account, which may delay the order's shipment but will allow the Account to reassess its carrier choice. The Account may set their individual stopgap amount by emailing their account manager. Dangerous goods shipments may supersede account preferences due to carrier limitations.
Approved Shippers
HPD uses the following approved shippers: Canada Post, Canpar Express, CVC Sling Shot, Day & Ross, FedEx, Number 8 Freight and Purolator
