We ordinarily ship via "media rate" (the equivalent of parcel post) but are offering a FREE UPGRADE to priority mail until 10am on Thursday, 12/20th. This does NOT guarantee arrival by 12/24.
Promptness of order fulfillment
We usually ship via the post office. 1 or 2 CDs go out first class. This means 2-3 day delivery to most U.S. locations. Songbooks and large CD orders are shipped via "media rate" which is equivalent to parcel post in terms of timeliness (often 4-5 business days but more variable based on postal workloads.)
We can upgrade your order to priority mail for a fee. Generally the surcharge for shipping songbooks via priority mail is $3/songbook. Please email us if you want to upgrade your shipment method.
During the holiday season we ship within 1-2 days, but other times of the year we do not always ship as often. Please email us if you have special timeliness needs (e.g. a gig, birthday, wedding, party or other special event!) and we will do our best to meet your need.
FOR THOSE OUTSIDE THE U.S.A.:
Shipping rates that are include in online credit card orders are for US shipping ONLY. Please email us for the costs of overseas orders. Email us your address and what you want to order and we will let you know what the additional shipping cost will be. The US Postal Service has eliminated surface rates but have brought down air mail costs quite a bit. You can pay for your order (or the shipping surcharge if you already placed your order) using the "General Payments" button on our website. You will not be shipped orders outside the U.S. for orders placed on the website without paying the additional shipping costs involved. We apologize for this glitch in our ordering software & are trying to correct this!
