Please look at our website www.msecompany.net  under "FINANCING AVAILABLE'". Also, if you want to open a credit account, you can pay for half of the order at the time of placement and then the other half within 30 days from delivery.

Unfortunately we do not have any stores in Canada.  If you have additional questions, please email me, christina@msecompany.net or call me at  1-877-706-4480 x 107
