We accept Visa, Mastercard and Discover as well as Paypal as payments WE NO LONGER ACCEPT AMEX AS PAYMENT revised 06/06/09 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 |
