We understand that Harvest Right’s U.S. website sometimes advertises tempting sales — but those prices often come with hidden costs for Canadians.

Harvest Right sets our Canadian retail pricing, and we follow that structure. While we don’t currently offer a price match guarantee, our customers are often surprised to find that buying through us is actually a better deal in the end.

Here’s why:

• “Free shipping” is U.S. only. Canadian shipping is often quoted at $400+ USD.

• Prices on the U.S. site are in USD. With exchange rates (often around 1.37), that low price adds up quickly.

• Import and brokerage fees can be a wild card at the border.

• Warranty repairs must be handled through Harvest Right U.S. — meaning you pay to ship your unit back.

Even during aggressive U.S. sales, many of our customers still save $50 CAD or more by ordering through us — not to mention the peace of mind that comes from dealing with a local, certified repair shop here in Alberta.

That’s one of the hardest questions — because everyone’s needs are so different!

Here’s what we’ve heard from our customers:

• Most families who start with a Small often wish they had gone with a Medium.

• Homesteaders and small businesses who start with a Medium often come back for a second unit — usually a Largeor XL.

Choosing the right size depends on your goals, how much food you want to preserve at a time, and how often you plan to run the machine.

It depends on the model and current demand, but most orders arrive within 2 to 4 weeks.

Because we’re a Canadian distributor, we handle customs and import for you — no surprise brokerage fees, no shipping delays at the border.

We’ll keep you updated throughout the process, and you’ll get tracking info as soon as your unit ships. If you’d like an estimate for a specific model or need it by a certain date, just reach out — we’re happy to check stock or lead times for you.

We ship freeze dryers anywhere in Alberta, British Columbia, and Saskatchewan — right to your door.

Freeze dryers are heavy, sensitive machines — so safe delivery is a top priority.

No matter who you buy from, all freeze dryers ship on a pallet with a bottomless box. This lets you inspect the unit on arrival before accepting it as undamaged.

While freight damage can happen (even to us), home deliveries often arrive in better shape than shipments sent to warehouses. If anything looks wrong when your unit arrives, you can flag it right away — and we’ll help you through the next steps.

Have questions about how to inspect your unit on delivery day? We’re happy to walk you through what to look for.

We’ve chosen not to offer in-house financing because we want to keep our prices as low and honest as possible — no hidden fees, no interest traps, and no pressure to buy beyond your means.

We can split a payment between multiple cards if needed — just let us know before checkout.

If financing is the only thing holding you back, reach out. We may be able to suggest timing your purchase around upcoming sales, promotions, or have a refurbished scratch and dent model available to help make it more affordable for your family.

We’re proudly based in Didsbury Alberta, Canada, jsut off of Highway II between Red Deer and Calgary.

As the only certified Harvest Right repair shop in Canada, we serve customers across Alberta, British Columbia, and Saskatchewan — offering local support, faster delivery, and peace of mind you won’t get from a larger retailer.

Want to pick up accessories or talk shop in person? Send us a message — visits are by appointment only.

Every freeze dryer comes with Harvest Right’s standard 3-year limited warranty, which covers parts and labor for manufacturer defects.

But here’s where buying through us really helps:

We’re Alberta’s only certified Harvest Right repair shop, which means:

• Warranty repairs can be done locally — no need to ship your unit across the border.

• You keep your full Harvest Right warranty intact.

• You get faster service and real support from people who actually use these machines.

Have an issue after your warranty ends? We’re still here to help — with parts, repairs, and honest advice.
