As I am getting up in years I am not sure how much longer I will be making musical instruments . My business is up for sale and my daughter has expressed an interest in taking over the business but I am not sure if or when this will happen. Consequently,if you are interested in obtaining one of my instruments from me, I would highly recommend you do so sooner rather than later.

Packaging - Shipping Fees |
|
|
With the exception of the CDs, I require a minimum order of $25. Contact me for shipping rates for orders under $50.
Within the lower 48 states the shipping fees for waterphones (with or without accessories) are as follows: Within the southern states including Texas to Virginia the fee is 4%. All other states the fee is 5%. I ship via Priority Air in a double wall, heavy duty box, fully insured.
I ship via U.S. Priority Air Mail - all items are insured. Within U.S.A. mainland: $1000 to $2000 = 4% or 5% (see above) $401 to $999 = 5% $250 to $400 = 6% $75 to $249 = 9% $50 to $74 = 11% For shipping other than the mainland USA 48 states - Add 1% to the above percentages for Canada. Add 2% to the above for Alaska, Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands, Hawaii, Add 3% for C. America & Caribbean. For northern South America and Western Europe the shipping fee is 9% on the waterphones. Shipping to Japan is 11%. Eastern China is 12%. Some parts of the world are distant like Western China, Australia, New Zealand, Africa, Russia, mid-East, and southern South America. The shipping fees for these distant areas can be as much as 1/3 the cost of the instrument. If at all possible I highly recommend you get someone to take your instrument with them as luggage on a plane flight as it will be much cheaper. I can ship it to them here in the USA for 4%. Otherwise supply me with an address and postal code so I can look into the shipping rates. All shipments go by air and are well packed, insulated, and insured for the maximum amount possible. Also contact me for oversize shipping of Aeolian Harps and Trongos. UPS & FedEx are more expensive - contact me for these shipping fees. |
