Shipping Policies
We ship All guitars via FEDEX ground
unless otherwise requested.
Due to the rise in gas prices all shipping companies
have raised their delivery rates.
The standard price to ship all guitars is now $45.00
depending upon the location in the U.S.
We are located in Massachusetts therefore
clear across the country to California, the rate may be .
Any instrument shipped outside of the US,
((ESP/LTD),
Schecter can't be
sold/shipped outside of the US)
is subject to a higher rate. USPS is what we chose to
use for international shipping however constraints have
now been put into place as far as package size and
value. While shipping rate is the responsibility of the
purchaser, USPS will no longer insure a guitar outside
of the US and have given it a maximum insurance value
of $175.00. If you so choose to still have us ship you
the guitar via USPS, taking into consideration that they
take it to begin with, considering the size constraints
and non-insured situation, we cannot be responsible if
the package is damaged in shipping. IF you choose
another method, ie: FEDEX or UPS, buyer pays all
shipping charges which will be much higher.

NOTE: We do require a signature for each package
delivered due to the value of the instrument.
We pack very well to ensure against damage/loss and
use double walled boxes when at all possible with
275lbs crush strength.
If you do require us to leave a package and not get a
signature you must do so by sending us an email
confirming this however all packages must be shipped
to the mailing address of the credit card billing
statement only.
This is for the protection of the cardholder and our
company against fraud
