Free Shipping

Everybody likes free! Get free shipping on almost everything. Look for the free shipping sticker on qualifying items! Free shipping only applies to the lower 48 states and orders over $25. Oversized and heavy items may require additional charges.

What if I don't see the free shipping sticker?

Okay, we gotta pay our bills too!  Some stuff, such as heavy, oversized, and vendor restricted items don't qualify for free shipping.

Shipping Options

All of our shipping methods are backed by our shipping guarantee.  This means, if we fall short of our shipping guarantee, you'll get 20% off your next order and we'll refund your shipping.

Next Business Day Shipping to the Lower 48 states:  Orders placed by noon (Eastern Time) Monday through Friday will ship the same day for delivery on the next business day.  If you place your order after noon (Eastern Time) on a weekday, it will be shipped on the next business day and delivered on the first business day after that.  For example, if you order is placed after noon (Eastern Time) on a Friday, it will be shipped on Monday (the next business day) and delivered on Tuesday.

2 Business Day Shipping to the Lower 48 states:  Orders placed by noon Eastern Time Monday through Friday ship the same day, and are delivered within 2 business days.  If you place your order after noon (Eastern Time) on a weekday, it will be shipped on the next business day and delivered within 2 business days after that.

APO / FPO

Good News!  We can ship to APO and FPO addresses via the U.S. Postal Service.  Unfortunately, a few oversized items cannot be delivered to APO and FPO addresses because of U.S. Postal Service Size restrictions.

More Good News!  Military customers living abroad may receive UPS delivery to an actual street address if the items ordered are not restricted for overseas delivery and UPS services the address.

Global Delivery

We ship virtually anywhere in the world using FedEx or UPS service.  Some restrictions on shipping abroad are imposed by the certain manufacturers, for instance Yamaha products can only ship to addresses within the U.S.

To find out if the gear you want can ship internationally, contact us.

Backorders

We have some pretty neat technology to make sure we have all the right gear in-stock when you need it, but sometimes you surprise us.  Sometimes there is a rare shortage of the Arundo donax cane used to make Bassoon reeds or the Irish government bans smoking in pubs and the demand for performance accordions drops dramatically.  Both true stories.

Simply put, we try hard to have what you want in-stock, but sometime we have items that are on backorder.  Backorder means we don't have any in stock, but we have ordered more from the manufacturer.

If your order contains backordered items, you will not be charged for the backordered items until they are shipped to you.

If you have multiple items and one or more items are on backorder, we will send you the in-stock items right away.  this means your order may arrive in multiple boxes over multiple days, but you will not be charged more for shipping as a result.

Fine Print

We do our very best to get your gear to you as fast as we can, but sometimes shipping holidays, extreme weather conditions and other unpredictable stuff can get in the way.
