SHIPPING RATES

Instruments / Cases / Books & Recordings / Accessories / Strings

Effective January 1, 2023

Shipping costs continue to rise and we are seeing rate increases happening more and more frequently.  Currently, the least expensive shipping is via UPS. For the most part we have found it to be reliable and safe.  If you prefer we ship Fed Ex or USPS please let us know and we will give you a rate estimate.

UPS rates are now based on the dimensional weight of the box instead of the actual weight. This results in a significant increase in shipping costs for instruments.

For Alaska, Hawaii and all other destinations outside the continental United States, please call or email for rates.

We prefer to ship instruments via UPS and will do so unless you specify otherwise

INSTRUMENTS and CASES

Instruments* and cases without an instrument will ship via UPS unless prior arrangements are made.  The following rates are estimates:

UPS

5 $ 50.00
6 $ 60.00

* Instruments shipped without a case will incur an additional $10.00 packing charge.
