SHIPPING
What are your shipping rates?
The
total weight and destination is priced across the two methods for
delivery. The fastest and most cost effective shipper for your package
is then selected for shipment. We use calculated shipping based on
product warehouse location, package weight and fastest delivery method
in order to keep our prices as low as possible.
How are your packages delivered?
We
use reliable shipping companies to ship all orders. Currently, we use
the United States Postal Service (USPS) and United Parcel Service of
America (UPS) to ship orders from our location to all parts of the
United States and Canada.
Our entire order process takes approximately 5-10 business days depending on the items ordered. The stock on our website is an indication of items available in both our physical stock and supplier stock. Occasionally items may actually be on back order or discontinued without notice. Orders are processed 3 times a week and may show pending for up to 3 days. If any items in the order are from supplier stock, an order in processing can take up to 7 business days to ship. Most items are shipped Priority Mail and will be received within 2-3 days of shipping. On average, most orders are received within 5-10 business days. If you need something sooner, please email or call for availability and a custom shipping quote. If an item is in our physical inventory, an order placed before 4pm can be shipped overnight.
Why does the process take so long?
Big companies have big warehouses with lots of employees enabling them to ship items quickly. The Classical Guitar Store by Eric Henderson is a small store and our dedication to offering quality products at reasonable prices is the driving force behind order times. By only processing orders 3 times a week, we are able to reduce the number of stock orders, saving us money that we can pass along to our customers with consistently low prices.
