    Just wanted to share with you that i found this link on kijiji and shared it with my unit here at work. This message has been forwarded to 600+ people here at TD Canada Trust as part of our Green initiative campaign!

    This is a great idea!!

    I ordered 2 for myself!

    Excellent! You may want to guarantee your barrel is available by ordering it using the buttons above. It’s an additional $5 if you do not order in advance. Thanks for supporting the zoo. Leah

    Hi Maggie – I checked our cash records and I don’t see your email address recorded in the last couple of days. Did you use another address?
    If not, please try to place your order again.
    Feel free to be in touch with any further questions.
    Thank you!

    Hey Leah,

    I did actually use another address, I ordered it for my mom. Is there a secure place that I could give you that info so you can check to see if you received my order?

    Thanks so much.

    I ordered a “cash at pick up” rain barrel (pick up at Zoo) and did not receive a receipt. I used the same email I am using now. I put the order in today (Monday morning). Have I just been living in an instant replay world too long? Does it take a little while to send receipts? Should I just be patient?

    Does pick up have to be the date selected? If we change our mind about which day we visit the zoo that weekend, can we still pick it up?

    You are welcome to pick-up a rain barrel on any day. Since this is a multi-day sale we are simply trying to get a better sense of the quantities to have on hand each day.

    Hello,
    What are the dimensions of the 220/200/180 rain barrels (height x diameter)? I am just wondering if I will be able to fit 2 in my van.
    Thanks,
    Sam

    Hi
    I just ordered a rainbarrel but I don’t have a printer to print off the receipt that I need to show at pickup. Any suggestions? Perhaps showing my ID or answering personal questions related to my address or email address?

    thank you!

    How could I order a blue rain barrel? I was at the zoo parking lot yesterday and your staff said I can online pre-order blue one. But I couldn’t find this option. Only three colours can be selected.

    Thanks.

    Hi there. It is pretty rare that we have blue barrels. Perhaps you mean the grey? Please see Larry at the zoo RainBarrel.ca distribution site and he will let you know if what you want is available. You can also call him in the morning at 905 545 5577. I’m sorry if we can’t accommodate you. Thank you for your interest! Leah@RainBarrel.ca

    Can I change my order from one barrel to two? I sent this question via your contact link, but I am not sure if it went through.

    1. When is the latest date for ordering rain barrels?
    2. Do they have to be ordered in advance, or can people just show up and get one?

    Maria F

  33. April 5, 2012 3:17 pm

    Hi Maria – thanks for asking. You can order a barrel until the truck is filled. I would suggest sooner than later! There MAY be extras on the ground but only preordered barrels are guaranteed to be there. Thank you! Leah@RainBarrel.ca

  35. April 14, 2012 7:50 pm

    Hi Lindsey, I’ve sent you a direct email about that. thanks Leah@RainBarrel.ca

  36. April 23, 2012 12:09 pm

    Unfortunately not for another month or more. Sorry, we don’t have any further info. Good luck! Leah@RainBarrel.ca
