SHIPPING
In stock items ordered in the morning usually ship the next business day. Items ordered in the afternoon may ship a day later. Items not in stock generally ship within 7 business days depending on how quickly we can get the items from suppliers. Some items may be drop shipped. Items requiring setup or needing special services may take longer to ship. You should receive an email confirmation of shipping from FedEx for most items. Look for an email from FedEx in your inbox or bulk mail folder! If we cannot fill your order within a reasonable time, we’ll suggest alternatives. We do go to shows, vacations, etc and may not be able to ship immediately. There are only 1.5 of us.
We usually ship via FedEx ground for domestic orders and via US Postal Service for international orders. If you require another carrier please let us know as soon as possible. AK, HI, PR, APO go USPS and may require additional postage, inquire. Signature required on all instrument deliveries – no exceptions. Street address required. For international shipments, insurance for the full amount isn't always available from the postal service. We suggest arranging for your own insurance. We place the actual purchase price on any official forms.
We ship “FOB” (free on board) our store or supplier's warehouse with shipping charges not refundable. The item is yours when a carrier accepts it and you bear risk of loss, just as if you'd walked out of our shop with the item. We pack and insure on your behalf and cannot guarantee nothing will happen during transit. By ordering, you agree that instruments packed in their original cases as originally shipped by our supplier are properly packed by us and any claims lie against the carrier. Please inspect items immediately. If an item is damaged in shipping, please contact us immediately and save all packaging. We will help you as much as we can in filling out paperwork, handling refunds, or any other reasonable help. But we won't accept damaged goods for full refund and may reject them entirely.
