SHIPPING POLICY

We have years of experience packing and shipping fragile musical instruments. All items are fully insured, so the customer is at absolutely no risk. Occasionally (maybe once or twice a year) one of our carriers will rough handle an item and it will arrive damaged. In such an event, please call us and we will arrange for the carrier to pick it up and bring it back to us for an insurance claim. You will be refunded or sent a replacement.

If an order is over $100, we will provide Free Shipping in the 48 contiguous United States. As for Hawaii and Alaska, we will quote you shipping costs.

In case you choose "Shipped from India" we will ship your order from India. The availability of many products is different in India. We will get in touch with you over email or phone. International shipping from the U.S. is very expensive. A few companies have a monopoly here. We have a great infrastructure back in India too. Your instrument can be carefully packed and shipped at much better prices. Since the instrument has to travel a long way, even with our robust packing, it may be jolted somewhere. We can help you over Skype to solve your minor setup issues or problems. If a small part breaks we can send you a replacement free of cost. We have a 95% success in international shipping. Nothing would make us happier than to see you play your instrument with a smile.

With UPS we can now ship a sitar (via UPS Air Freight) to most countries in Europe and Asia.

PRIVACY AT MUSICIAN'S MALL

We live in the same world as you, and don't like it either when say...you subscribe to a magazine for "free" and all of a sudden your junk mail for "related offers" rolls in ten fold. It's also about the worst thing in the world when you sign up for a "contest" or other event, and supply a phone number...only to be added to every crazy call center's list to be pummeled and bothered for the rest of your days.

You can rest assured that Musician's Mall will never, ever share your information on any "spam" level with anybody.

• Your address is used to verify your payment method, and used for shipment info
• Your phone number is used to verify payment method, and for us to contact you in case of a problem
• Your email address is used to confirm your order status and provide tracking information

We do not stalk you on the phone because you placed an order, no sales calls or solicitations ever.

By joining our mailing list via the home page or during checkout, you agree to receive periodic yet meaningful email contacts from us and us alone. Our mailers aren't very frequent, they're not cluttered up impossible to read flyers with exclamation points all over the place. Our email subscribers enjoy real information in a concise effort to keep you informed of specials, new products and other generally good info we have to share.

We couldn't rest easy any other way.

If you still have questions, feel free to contact us concerning privacy or other issues.
